"One part business, two parts design, a handful of ideas and a lot of garbage."
Update: After weeks of struggling to find a way to put this online, I come across a link to access the article on The Hindu website.
A few weeks ago, I met Poonam Bir Kasturi, the woman behind Daily Dump, for an article. This is what came out of it.

She was an extremely passionate person, and I liked what she said. Presumably because we seemed to share a proclivity for free flow of ideas and information.
Composting techniques and designs under Creative Commons licensing - what's not to approve of, I ask!
It was also refreshing to talk to someone who was doing something incredibly innovative, without money as a motive, but far from the NGO altruism.
But, Poonam has me thinking about this again: is a makeover the best way to promote a product or even an idea? Is 'pretty' and 'upmarket'- and every other aspirational word we could use - becoming the only way to sell anything?
(I'm just thinking aloud, I really don't know yet.)
Update 2: Am also mighty chuffed with what Daily Dump has to say about being interviewed by me :D
