00:03 I love driving, and I love the country roads, not

00:19 the express highways.

00:20 And I want to explore the country,

00:22 so I just choose a direction.

00:24 And then I go to villages, tribals, and NGOs

00:27 who are working with art and craft.

00:29 And I buy things from them.

00:30 There is bark print of Indore site.

00:34 Then there is textiles from Maheshwar.

00:37 There's a guy in Ujjain who makes beautiful birds.

00:40 And there's a lot of bamboo work which

00:42 is happening in Malaghat area.

00:45 Towards Dindori and Patankar and all, you have corn paintings.

00:50 Then over here in Umariya district,

00:51 you have lovely artifacts, again, from paper mache.

00:57 I created a workshop outside, and I called this boy

01:02 and said, with my inputs, they're

01:04 making some beautiful stuff.

01:56 People do demand for things locally made.

02:14 Unfortunately, their beautiful work doesn't pay them enough.

02:17 They have to go to a bigger city to sell their products,

02:21 and it's not viable somehow.

02:23 So sometimes, once you tell them that you

02:25 can do something like this, you give them ideas,

02:29 and they can do it.
