What’s your philosophy in Life?

MINE ONE!

While studying my B.Sc. in Home Science in 1^st year, the subject expert for the course Home-Management was not available in our University College. So the subject was taught by the teacher of Extention major. Almost whole class was awarded F grade. Reason the even the first chapter that contained the concept of philosophy, value and standard, the concept was not clear for all of us….. the book for the course was Home Management by Nickle and Dorsy!

Philosophy here…..

Here's a fun quiz!

For me….

You scored as utilitarianism. Your life is guided by the principles of Utilitarianism: You seek the greatest good for the greatest number.

“The said truth is that it is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong.”
--Jeremy Bentham

“Whenever the general disposition of the people is such, that each individual regards those only of his interests which are selfish, and does not dwell on, or concern himself for, his share of the general interest, in such a state of things, good government is impossible.”
--John Stuart Mill

Green living mantra

Some of the articles displayed......

isn't it green.....living....

Recycling has always been important to me (even before it became “trendy”! I still remember it was in 80’s that poly bags isn’t appeared in Hisar city, I got a yellow poly bag with my purchase from kumar store in Hisar, and then each poly bag was stored and I made yarn out of them and crocheted a rug, very beautiful one! ).

Regarding my ward-robe, I have always off loaded clothes/ stuff to charity (bagful to garbage collectors, and Krishan Parnami Ashram at village Kamari, some-time woolen stuffs to the baggars in winter).

Rag rug

fabric yarn/strings woven with Dhera

Some times there are things I cannot give away or are too damaged , rough or worn…. these go in

my rag pile… once in a year or two I get out my

serger and my rotary cutter and make tri layer rags with nice serged edges… I haven’t bought tablemats/coasters/ door-mats/ bed-side-mats in over several years.

Some time, I cut out beautiful fabric pieces from the dresses, and give them to biggners( who couldn’t afford new purchases for practice) at sewing in our NGO’s sewing school.

Its very fun!

Today’s Quote

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900)

On the hooks…

Leisuraly I am on the hooks today... I have a baby blanket that probably has as many stitches as compared to a garment ! It's going so slowly...but it should be worth it! Usually

On the hooks today... I have a garment (sweater for my maternal uncle who is so tall and huge…) that probably has as many stitches as a blanket! It's going so slowly...but it should be worth it! Also on the hooks, a blanket (for my nice), which will hopefully go much more quickly than the garment. Of course, there are two other projects( small ones, but need attantion, not for leisuring hours ) in various stages of progress, but these are the two that I am pushing to get done asap. I'm also vascillating on whether or not I want to send out a particular submission. I just can't decide. It's one of those things where you hope it gets accepted but at the same time, I'm afraid it will get accepted...then I'll have to do it. LOL.
