As you may all very well know, Chamko Rani has been travelling in between the lines of the universe along with The Travelling Studio. At times The Travelling Studio is a pen and book, an ink pot, dip pen and sheets of paper or at fortunate times, a scanner, editing software on a functional laptop, a camera and the whole army of watercolours and brushes. An extremely important member of The Travelling Studio is an old leather make-up kit which I believe/intuit belonged to a British stage actor who lived in Bandra.
(inspiration yantras : asymmetrically repetitive floral patterns with names of people who send inspiration to the Chamko Rani Travelling Studio.) 
On ending his career and finding no successors along with the crunch of space in Bombay this actor must have decided to give it away in recycling... where you find, entry stage left... Chamko Rani promptly making a purchase. The make-up kit was transformed into a stationery kit. A founder of the House of the Cult, Mr. Tee Ru unknowingly and perhaps unwillingly
and in fact unconsciously donated another inseparable element to The Travelling Studio. Which is the No. 1 Galvanized Trunk. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictorial documentation to offer on this marvelous subject, because both these inseparable elements rest in the House of the Cult. We at Chamko Rani Art Periphery (as opposed to art centre) hope that they will find their way to their rightful place, aka The Travelling Studio in the very near future.
