Seriously?
I think by now everyone knows that I am not a person with bad aesthetics ...
I mentioned my diary/ notepad ... do you have any idea how many times people have tried to persuade me to give it to them, or get one made for them ....
This is a highly refined art. The very fine and delicate embroidery stitches are a masterpiece and a hallmark of our rich cultural heritage. The Balochi nomadic women do this and I don't think it is done anywhere else in Pakistan. Couple of years back, I went to Quetta for some interviews, and I visited AHAN project (Ministry of Industries) ... It was an amazing shock to see the finesse levels achieved by these women. It is true that original colours used by these artisans in their embroidery needed improvement ... however, now that modern designers are there to guide them, we see new heights of excellence.
People send their branded laptop cases, and these women turn them into work of art ...
So .. please rest assured that I am not going to turn Laadli into a cab ... (H)(H)
