Moving on from DEEZDEN

Mixed Feelings.

Deezden - a spur of the moment blog but surely one that changed everything along the way -  'positively' - and brought beautiful inspirational friends to my life. It will always be very close to my heart with its good and bad and 'you' - each one of you who visited, commented or just enjoyed your time on this link - your being there meant the world to me.

As the title suggests, this will be my final post on Deezden, will be blogging at www.dithitara.com from now on and hope to see you all there.

Huge tight hugs to Deezden and to my fabulous readers, I will be waiting for you at 'light of love' which is the name of the new blog and most importantly, a HUGE thank you for your faith in me and for sharing my journey so far as I hope you will continue to ..... in the new next road!

Featured in POOL

Am so happy to share with you a feature in POOL,

India's first international design magazine:

March 2012 Issue, in their 'Overseas' section,

article titled 'Propagating the Indian Myth'.

This is even more special as POOL is India's first-of-its-kind magazine aimed at 'inspiring via innovative approaches in never-seen-before Design/Innovation/Creativity features' and creating a 'unified platform for creative inspiration without any constraints on discipline or subject'

Read the article on Issuu, pages 28 - 30.

A HUGE thank you to Maitreyi Doshi, Rajlaxmi Datta and the entire team of POOL :)
