A Small Gift Box For Me, Pain In The Neck For Most
Don’t get me wrong, I really don’t mean most by most. It’s just the most I encountered here. The other day I had to send some gifts through one of my friend who was travelling in next couple of hours. The idiot that I am, I had forgotten to buy the gift boxes! So, I decided to make them myself. I had just about everything it takes – some cardboard boxes, gift wrap, glue, a pair of scissors and mighty interest.
I sat down with all those stuff and made a design without looking up on the net. Design, cut the cardboard, gift wrap and using glue just stick it around, make some cuts here and there and you are done. Of course, write something on small chit and stick it inside the box for giggles.
Since it was the first time making a tiny box, it took some time. Enough to irate some to pass comments like – “what a pain to save meager 3-4 dollars”, “dump all that and go buy from a shop” etc. It just makes me wonder how a handful of people have so many opinions/views about such a small thing. Just imagine how many different views ~7 billion people might have on all those issues that surround our lives.
PS: Where is the final giftbox, you may ask. The idiot forgot to take a picture before dispatching the box! :-)
Dark Blue/Light Blue Maps of India
These are the India maps I created* when designing my homepage for the grand 2011 Cricket World Cup.
I had a tough time searching for blue map of India online and ended up creating them myself. With this post they are released online; you are free to use them as you may wish. However, a link to this blog is really appreciated(which I’m sure none of you are going to do! :P )
There is no other place like India.
