"Magical" is the word we would like to use to describe our
experience in Bhuj, in Shrujan and with Rabaris. Its been a constant learning
process since day 1 we came to Bhuj.
Learning about leaving our comfort zone and living with some new people for
6 weeks, learning about managing home, learning about sharing dreams and
sorrows and learning to understand each others problems. Bhuj has taught us how
difficult situations bring people close together.
Meeting proffesionals, staying calm and handling difficult tasks, being
responsible, being regular, being patient and following rules and regulation.
Shrujan taught us how to be professional and dicsiplined.
Living happily without any luxury, celebrating each day, loving our work,
being close to the roots, never being afraid, living with freedom and
individuality, accepting the change with open mind, excepting new people with
happy heart and overcoming the diffculties with ease. Rabaris taught us
individuality and the fact that cummunicatiion and love does not need common
language or lifestyle.
The amazing learning is experiencing all of it from a town which was hidden
among the cracked path. The broken path, these cracks symbolise the broken
dreams of people, the dreams that broke under reality (reality meaning earthquake).
The path which now has cracks was once clear of these which held only
dreams and then reality hit the dreams and the path we now see, the cracks
remind us of the reality.But, still there is beauty of resistance and strength
withstanding it all.
In the end we are taking with us love for Indian craft, a whole new world
of inspiration, a beautiful pallete of colors and some wonderful ideas of
clothing.
This journey has been the most mesmerising experience for our work and for
our life.
