Colors of happiness - Absolutely amazing experience with Sidhant, Vaibhav and the whole team of Dye it Yourselves (DIY) at Sodhani Biotech. A big shout out to the team for the effort they took in setting up this workshop solely for us and spending the entire day with us answering all sorts of questions. We chanced upon DIY in TA and initial communication was not very prompt. So we had given up hope and then Vaibhav got in touch and we decided to take the plunge and book a full day workshop for Tie & Dye and hand block printing. Received the location on the prior evening and we set out in an Uber. We ended up somewhere deep inside an industrial belt (at least it felt so) and the internal sceptic (myself) was having a field day ridiculing me for this adventure. Anyway, after a drive that seemed to never end, we reached and was met by Sidhant and Vaibhav. The game changed from that point onwards and boy, we are so happy we went. Sidhant gave us a very good introduction to natural dyes, their uses etc. and also told us about his entrepreneurial journey. He patiently answered all questions that my 11 year old asked and really made it a pleasant experience. Vaibhav led us through the workshops, often acting as the interpreter, helper, guide and coach. A big salute to Salim ji who did the Tie & Dye workshop and to Manish ji who did the hand block printing workshop. A huge shoutout to all of them and in particular, to Sidhant, who took time out of his schedule and spent a lot of time through the Tie & Dye workshop. He gave suggestions on colors as well as the use of multi colors to make the outcome look nice. A big credit to the team that they did not cut any corners throughout the workshop and really allowed us to enjoy the experience thoroughly. Nothing was off limits and they were all working together to make our day memorable. We understood later that they had stopped doing these workshops of late and our request rekindled it. Really hope that they continue to offer this experience. To all Jaipur visitors, we would say that this is truly one of the best experiences to avail during your visit. End of the day we left with cloth bags carrying the designs we created, articles of clothing we ourselves dyed, many packets of natural dyes, lots of knowledge and hearts brimming with happiness.
