"Life is this painting which you are making, the only difference is you can’t erase it”says the young artist Raazgi from Bag this! The youth is getting trendy and so is the art, pop art is something that every youngster would like in his or her wardrobe. With such a trend, it wouldn’t be justified to not talk to an enterprising youngster. Ms.Raazgi Haidri, a mass media graduate from S.I.E.S College (Nerul) is a pop artist. She is currently working for a radio station as an assistant programmer. Raazgi loved painting from the very beginning, she has always loved painting and colours have always inspired her enough to take up the brush and do something with the colours. A creative youngster with creative ideas and creative paintings has her own outlet called ‘Bag this”which customizes tshirts, shoes, bags for their customers. “Painting is always preferred over printing; it gives a personal touch” says Raazgi. When asked about selling her designs, she has a quick reply which states that she makes her designs and sells it. She markets it on Facebook, it started with just 2 members she and her sister and within an year it is around 600 which is an achievement. Raazgi agrees that there is good scope for pop art since the target audience is the youth and the youth is always trendy! Hand made things are cheaper, trendy, better ad customized, it is new and innovative.
Bag this’started over an year ago, and the idea came up when her sister’s friend commented on their painting and then it clicked that this could easily be done. Trend for her is anything that you think people will notice in you and can follow! Raazgi has a clear vision about what she has to do and she also sees where the generation is going today, “I’m today’s generation, we are quick and smart. We adapt very easily. We are ready to experiment, the only problem with today’s generation is , everybody wants to be perfect, in trying to go proper, o be perfect people are afraid to commit mistakes, when you don’t commit mistakes, you don’t learn, when you don’t learn ,you don’t grow ! I have committed a lot of mistakes and today I see myself and Bag This growing!!
