Chakaas news

I have no idea what that word up there means, but lemme assume it's "tight" news. "Set" news. "Cool" news. If it means something terrible, let me know. I will dismiss your prudent advice and keep displaying it. Kya samjhay?!

So the news is: I am going to build my home office+creative studio. ~*Yay!*~


I always loved the idea of having a home office/ studio where I can do creative work. I do tons of work at home - for passion, play, or pay. I design things for love. Ever since I was 16, I wanted to transform this room upstairs in to a study+bedroom. It partly served that purpose with a minimal functional layout. Ah, but the romance of eccentric-colored walls and floor-to-ceiling shelves!

I had a crazy idea that I'd paint the floor in an African or Pakistani ethnic theme. The best I did, however, was to chalk the walls and... the rest is family history. (*My* moment of prudence!)

Location matters. Matters of location.
A few days back, I noticed this space in our "backyard" so to speak. We call it a "factory," which puzzles our visitors. It's this rather huge covered area that the previous owners used as a mini factory/ shopfloor for some kinda cottage industrial work. Ah, but they called it factory, and so it be!

It is "L" shaped with a thick L-base. I am going to use the base as my base camp! The walls will be covered in YELLOW and PURPLE to begin with. There is a weird wooden table there which will serve as the best office furniture ever. On Sundays and in evenings, I can chill there while pondering the solution to such problmes as: "Who is Ramla?", "Where did I come from?", and "Where is my cheese?"

Nahhhhh. Just kidding. I will get my work done. (*Yeah!*) More news on "the work" later.

I have more plans. But not now!! I am off to clear off the space for now. Wish me luck!
