CONGRATS STAR MAHILA @ 1000

My dearest friend , colleague, the Star Anchor  SUMA , has achieved one of the rarest feat in Telugu television industry. STAR MAHILA , her show in Etv celebrates 1000 episodes and becomes  the first daily show to reach this mark.CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!
Suma is the real STAR MAHILA for the show. she effortlessly leads the show to successful TRPs. Her lively spirit , spontaneous humor, and bubbly energy  give the simple show a grand twist. one needs to understand  the perseverance of an anchor in delivering such consistent results. Whatever be the situation in one's personal life, when it comes the screen, being  different everyday, to reach upto expectations , to generate humor on a daily basis,  IS a huge task. I completely understand this as I've experienced it while doing my show talk of the town for Ten years. STAR MAHILA being a daily show, responsibility of anchor doubles. Suma"s charm  and energy have made her reach this milestone of 1000 episodes, and she has potential of reaching more.
Suma will go a looooong way .
PROUD OF YOU .

BEAUTY OF PAPER MAKING

HEY! RECYCLING PAPER IS FUN
 Handmade paper is beautiful . The process is simple but messy . BUT... trust me the output is AMAZING. Each sheet is a work of art in itself. You cant stop falling in love with what you've created.

I've experimented with recycling paper at home recently with whatever is available at home.

these are the books that helped me

A simple tip from my experiments : lack of proper deckle and mold should not stop you from  making paper

I have used a simple sieve at home. I also tried a home made deckle and mold but sieve is a better option for beginers ( your paper will be round in shape with the sieve) . I stitched a netted fabric around an old photo frame and used another empty frame as mold.

I have used different papers for pulping . computer paper, news paper, wedding cards , envelopes, produce cartons etc. After the initial learning process, when i made a decent sheet of paper , I dared to experiment.






I've experimented with plant materials in paper . the plant fibers need to be cooked . a big process but the paper is beautiful

Book marks  and cards were my first handmade paper projects. I have plans of books ,folders, and paintings too.


One experiment Ill love to share with you all is the paper made  from  whole leaves. this took a really long three hours time to cook but this is my favorite .look at the transparency . going to use it in a lampshade project

no glue... plant fibers bond magically

lots more to come. I will share the procedure with you soon. with all the interesting stories while making paper

THAT'S ME IN MY KITCHEN .. PULP SPLASHED ALL OVER

Waiting for PANJA and SRIRAMARAJYAM

My latest project  PANJA......

My ready to release project  SRI RAMA RAJYAM......

RATCHA ... on sets 

The simplicity of Sri BAAPU  garu is a lesson in itself. The initial flutter in heart of acting for this legendary director had calmed down the moment I entered the set . The very presence of BAAPU garu is calming.

Surprisingly simple and silent , he keeps his communication short and crisp. His shots are accurate and precise. At the end of the day I was amazed at the speed of the work done. The whole experience was in contrast to the regular film making process. SRI RAMA RAJYAM  is a learning experience both personally and professionally 

PANJA... of power star is being directed by Vishnuvardhan. 

For us Telugu audience this is a new name, But in Tamil he is known as " Billa" Vishnu, the director of the original  Tamil version of Telugu Billa. 

one  line to describe him - powerhouse of energy. 

The combination of  our power star and this power house is sure to give a powerful hit.

Can't say anything about my character right now, but I loved the way my character is designed and I thoroughly enjoyed working . 

Thanks to PANJA  not just for an interesting role , but also for beautiful memories of interesting people {lots of them} and most of all for giving me a new  friend ,Neelima , my producer.

RATCHA is still on sets ...........
