Happy 2011!

Dear Friends,

Firstly, let me take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy and prosperous 2011.

Time flies by. I started this blog somewhere around June 2010 and I can’t believe we are already into 2011. When I started this blog, I was concerned about the response it will get. But I kept my worries aside and decided to do my best in putting design related material on the web. Indeed, that is the reason I started this blog in the first place. I couldn’t find much design oriented content on the web and I thought, why not create it myself?

It’s hardly been 6 months since I started this endeavour to create a reference platform for designers, home decorators, interior designers, textile designers, creative folks etc. But thanks to the overwhelming response my blog has received, I already feel as if I have been blogging since years. And that is the strongest motivating factor for me to continue blogging! As a designer, your appreciation is my reward. Thank you guys! You keep me going.

Having said that, let me also promise that in the coming weeks, I will be working hard to bring you more design ideas, I would also love to hear from you. If there is anything specific that you would like me to cover, please write to me. I assure you that you will find something related to your request on this blog.
