Social media in 2011

A great recap of the world of social media by Videoinfographs

India is flashmobbing!

We've been waiting for a great flashmob in India for a while now and are sure this one will put smile on your face.

Brewhouse ♥ Sanjay Patel

Notcot recently reminded us of the amazing Pixar animator and illustrator Sanjay Patel. Please do watch the interview with him on the making and inspiration for his book "Ramayana: Divine Loophole", an amazing contemporary version of this epic story. 
To check out more of his work or order the book go to GheeHappy.

 

Brewhouse ♥ NorBlack NorWhite

Another stunning collection by NorBlack NorWhite, this FW11 collection is inspired by Banaras & Lucknow, UP.


In their own words:
"Focussing on a region per collection, NorBlack NorWhite explores India through textile and art. We pay our respect, documenting & designing through adventure."

Nano Home

Tata has recently announced their new project called the Nano House. This project will make it possible for people to own a house for the first time ever and do so for just about $750. Made from coconut and jute fibers, the nano house is expected to have a life expectancy of 20 years.

Normally, we dont get excited about such things, but come on, this crib costs less than a car- even less than the TATA NANO- the cheapest car in the world.

And while this little house might solve homelessness worldwide, we're not sure how the Indian folks will react. You see while most people value sense, Indians value status- its the same reason why the TATA NANO isn't flying of the shelves- because no one in India would ever want to appear to be cheap or have the cheapest car or for that matter buy the cheapest house.

Brewhouse ♥ Dileep Sharma

Please enjoy the adventures of Kunwarji, the artist's pseudonym, and his muses in a world where urban pop meets ethnic mythology and stereotypes cease to exist. sexy and funny, we ♥ Dileep Sharma's watercolors.
