It has been ages since I wrote on any of my blogs - prolonged dental treatments ( too much anaesthesia ), travel and simply trying to coordinate the functioning of The Bamboo Store has left little time to blog. But hey this is 2009 - a new year and time for a couple of new bamboo resolutions - so I promise to be a frequent blogger now. In the meantime, here's reporting on what The Bamboo Store has been upto
- Featured in the first ever "Luxury Travel Guide" to New Delhi published by Love Travel Guides . The book comes in a shocking pink silk pouch and is truly a labour of love by Fiona Caulfield.
- There have been many articles and TV programmes - interior design magazines, lifestyle magazines and even one on Entrepreneurship featured the Store - thanks to all the media friends who are helping us spread the word.
Introduced Dilliwallahs to bamboo charcoal - guilt free kababs for no tree was cut for that oh! so smoky taste. Bamboo is carbonised and then briquetted to make bamboo charcoal - we even designed a special terracotta stove and pot ( chulha and handi ) to use the charcoal in - slow-cooking tasty food the way grandma used to !!
- Sold tons of good quality mats and blinds ... new designs and colours to suit every home or office.
- For the festive ( Diwali - Xmas- New Year) season, we made tons of candlestands , recycling coconuts for holders !!
Selling the concept of bamboo in saddi 'bling-loving' Delhi has been tough - but we have persevered - and may 2009 bring us BIG business !!
