2. Many species have curiosity,
but only man nurtures creativity and innovation.
Out of this comes art and craft.
For obvious reason there is cultural diversity.
For everyone appreciating this diversity itself is
a fulfilling entertainment and education.
I am presenting this cultural diversity
of human civilisation using my collections.

3. Paper comes in various sizes and colours, plain and printed,
singly and as books.
Except for rare occasions, most of paper is wasted after use.
But as a medium for creative expression it has a long history.
Paper art is also used very effectively in education.
In recent times scope of paper art has increased enormously,
abetted by modern technology.
Folding, cutting, gluing, moulding, stitching and
other simple operations can do wonders,
