This year has been tricky in every sense of the word, but thank God for the Internet which has us sail through. Look, how it has made cool chefs and DIY gurus out of us! Having said that, this writer sometimes feels that parenthood—with or without a pandemic—brings out the artist in you. You sit down and make a drawing or two to help your child in class or involuntarily think of funky ways to recycle that empty carton from Amazon delivery before you eventually give up and dump it. Recently, Disney India announced their new show with Harun Robert called Imagine That. Back in the pre-YouTube days, we watched his show on television and promised to make a few things, but never really got around to it.

For children these days, DIY craft is more fun and accessible. There are two-storied hobby supplies stores and online delivery of any material is a thing. We lived in the age of Camel. Now, kids watch 5-Minute Crafts on Instagram. That upcycling is a big narrative in the content makes it interesting for entrepreneur Deepa Nankani Javeri and her seven-year-old daughter Mishka. "She has been making dresses and accessories for her dolls using balloons, reusing bottles for night lamps and planters, and making crop tops from her old T-shirts. She even paints my nails, and has taught me how to use a flat iron for making curls. It's addictive in a good way," says Javeri.
