The Bliss Catchers - Season 7 - January 2021
|
Poorvaja Kumar
When her 13-year-old Labrador Choco passed on in 2016, Poorvaja discovered a yearning in her – to celebrate his Life, to pay him a tribute for all that he had done for her and her family by “simply being there for them unconditionally”. That’s how and why she launched Humans Of Canines (HOC) to help bridge the bond between people and their pet dogs. Four years on, she’s quit her corporate job and is deliriously happy leading HOC and practising Canine Assisted Therapy. “I am flowing with Life, in the company of dogs…there is no insecurity, there are no worries…if you say this is Bliss, then, yes, this is it,” she exclaims! Varshini Ramakrishnan Growing up, Varshini can’t remember a time when she was not thinking – or doing – art! Being immersed continuously with – and in – her art, she was quiet and often withdrawn; perhaps even unsure of her spiritual talent. When she was doing her Master’s in Milan in 2017, her design for a luxury Italian brand, Moreschi, made headlines and went on sale. This was an awakening moment for Varshini. In 2018, she co-founded the New Folder Design Studio, through which she invests her love for art in helping brands express and communicate better. “Art is my Life. I am simply allowing myself to be led by it,” she says. |
