It has been 1 year, 7 months and 8 days since I last blogged!
Had to change password 'coz I forgot the original one! :P
But anyways, although this particular space was asleep... life's was moving in full speed!
Right now at this very moment I am in my hometown - my place of birth, running my fashion label! No I'm not a hot shot :P but just started my very own designer label! And I must say I'm excited, a bit nervous but very happy with the way things are happening!
But before reaching this state of mind, this is what happened since 30 April, 2014! ........ and yeah, a lot happened......!
>I was expecting a designer's job at LeeCooper....worked hard on the graphics, but nopes did'nt get through. Honestly, I was'nt worried or even sad. I just kept applying to different companies and then one day got a call from ChoudharyFashions.
>The interview was delayed as I had to go to Patna to attend Nik's wedding! Well, yes we enjoyed but it was soooo damn hot! I decided then and there...I'm definitely not going to get married during June-July!
>Alright, after being back from the wedding, I went for an interview to ChoudharyFashions and got hired as the only fashion designer/stylist for a new womenswear brand-- which was eventually named "Printalk" ! I met K there, the CAD designer who joined after a month. We were a superb team--- Me, K and the talented patternmaster- BM!
The work was actually pretty laidback! We had lots of time to spare! While many would have enjoyed being in such a job where there is minimal work, it was just not good enough for the passionate workers like me and K! After surviving and actually coming up with a great collection in about 7 months, we have had enough! Plus, that AC on top was making us sick! As designers we wanted more freedom to explore. You can't make a creative person sit in a small cubicle and work like a machine. Our boss like most bosses could never understand but it was not her fault 'coz she was herself new in the field!
During this time (november 2014) my lovely roomie Pu shifted to Patna to be with her husband! And then for the 1st time in life I suffered from Depression! I was already having fever and cold continuosly....thanks to the Andheri traffic and the AC on top of my head in office; plus the migraine; and plus the Depression! I did visit a psychiatrist and she confirmed its mild depression! Meanwhile, K resigned and after 3 weeks I resigned too!
I did not tell my family about the depression but did tell them about the lack of job satisfaction!
So, there I was ready to leave Mumbai.....and start off on my own.....!
.............to be continued..... (as I'm really tired of typing) :P
