Strategically placed lights and lamps can really add to the atmosphere in your home. Here are 3 unique ways to decorate your home with these DIY lampshades.
I did not know until recently that lamps and lampshades are priced so exorbitantly! However, irrespective of the prices, my love for lamps is not going to decrease! After all, how can one appreciate the beauty of a home’s interiors, if not for proper lighting? Though concealed rights which sit conveniently in your false ceiling give the required amount of lighting, lampshades increase the aesthetic beauty of a room.
In case you are planning to go for concealed lighting for most part of the house, don’t forget to add those elements of drop lamps at specific points. If not for main lighting, they can at least be used as mood lighting which is enough for you to access a space comfortably. Once the lamps are on, you don’t need to switch on the main lighting unless you are reading, writing or working on some intricate crafts. Mood lighting is always perfect to get the evening conversations going!
So how do you do it without spending much? Check out these cool ideas to make your own lampshades and make your rooms come to life! Let us look at 3 such DIY videos now!

People say that women are the greatest enemies of women. I vehemently disagree. It is the patriarchal mindset that makes women believe in the wrong ideology.
The entire world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8, 2024. It should be a joyful day, but unfortunately, not all women are entitled to this privilege, as violence against women is at its peak. The experience of oppression pushes many women to choose freedom. As far as patriotism is concerned, feminism is not a cup of tea in this society.
What happens when a woman decides to stand up for herself? Does this world easily accept the decisions of women in this society? What inspires them to be free of the clutches of the oppression that women have faced for ages? Most of the time, women do not get the chance to decide for themselves. Their lives are always at the mercy of someone, which can be their parents, siblings, husband, or children.
In some cases, women do not feel the need to make any decisions. They are taught to obey the patriarchal system, which makes them believe that they are right. In my family, I was never taught to make decisions on my own. It was always my parents who bought dresses and all that I needed.
14 years after her last feature film Dhobi Ghat, storyteller extraordinaire comes up with her new film, Laapataa Ladies, a must watch.
*Some spoilers alert*
Every religion around the world dictates terms to women. The onus is always on women to be ‘modest’ and cover their faces and bodies so men can’t be “tempted”, rather than on men to keep their eyes where they belong and behave like civilized beings. So much so that even rape has been excused on the grounds of women eating chowmein or ‘men will be men’. I think the best Hindi movie retort to this unwanted advice on ‘akeli ladki khuli tijori ki tarah hoti hai’ (an alone woman is like an open jewellery box) came from Geet in Jab We Met – Kya aap gyan dene ke paise lete hain kyonki chillar nahin hain mere paas.
The premise of Laapataa Ladies is beautifully simple – two brides clad in the ghunghat that covers their identity get mixed up on a train. Within this Russian Doll, you get a comedy of errors, a story of getting lost, a commentary on patriarchy’s attitude towards women, a mystery, and a tale of finding oneself, all in one. Done with a mostly light touch that has you laughing and nodding along.
