beautiful things do NOT necessarily come from places where nature has been bountiful. In many regions of India, Mother Nature's harshness has taught the people to churn out beauty out of nothing. Kutchh in Gujarat is one of the harshest regions for a man to survive. But, the beautiful handiwork of the people there tell a different story.
