Padhne se pehle: kitaab pehle Palakkad, Kerala ke Pranav M. Balasubramaniam se milaati, jo bina haathon ke paida hue par kalaakaar, gaayak aur para-khiladi bane. Kya unke kaam aasaan hain? Kin gunon ne unhe safal banaaya? Phir Kathiawar kadhaai ka ek namoona dekho aur socho: kya iske charan pairon se ho sakte?

Ila ka kamra (apne shabdon mein): Moti Vavdi gaon, Bhavnagar (Gujarat) ke ek chhote kamre mein chamakdaar cushion, chaadar aur takiye sundar design se bhare. Inhe Ila Sachani banaati, ek khush-mizaaj mahila jo Kathiawar kadhaai mein maahir hai, ek shaili jismein bahut hunar chahiye.

Uski chunauti aur parivaar: Ila Amreli ke kisaan parivaar mein aise haathon ke saath paida hui jinhe wo aam tareeke se use nahi kar sakti thi. Wo doosre bachchon ki tarah chitra banaana chahti thi. Uski maa aur daadi, dono kushal kadhaai karne waali, uski madad ke liye ek-chitt thi: unhone use pairon se pattern banaana sikhaaya. Maata-pita ne pairon se khaana khaana aur baal sanwaarna bhi sikhaaya. Sui mein dhaaga daalna sabse kathin tha, par dridh sankalp aur chhote bhai-behan ki madad se wo kam umar mein maahir ho gayi, aur doosri shailiyaan bhi seekhi: Kachhi, Kashmiri, Lucknawi.
