As the Chief Operating Officer of the Chandigarh wing of the Jewellery Design and Technology Institute (JDTI) in Sector 35,Ritu Malik is a mentor for her students,even as she switches between administrative and creative jobs with ease. Jewellery design is an intrinsic part of my work and keeping abreast with trends,technology and education methods make me busy all day long, says Malik,who is also a prolific writer and a columnist. The best part of my work is that not only I enjoy it,its also creatively challenging, she says.

Interestingly,once she is back home,her five-year-old daughter keeps her back on toes. She loves to see me assisting her in her artwork and drawing out stuff, says Malik.

Come weekends and she takes on a new role,that of a puppeteer.

Yes,its a lot of fun, quips Ritu,quite a professional at organsing puppet shows for her daughter and her friends. I plan out stories and themes and then enact it for kids, shares Malik,who finds the process very de-stressing. When you are with children,your guard is down and the fun just doubles up, she adds.
