Reggae inspired headphone
I had an old headphone lying around with a busted mike. The audio was pretty good though. I used some scrap leather I had around and sheathed the speakers with it to give it some renewed oomph. The soft suede leather feels good to my ears. The future version will have detachable covers for washing….

Kaa in bengali this flower is named as noyontara . We have it in our garden at kanpur .
@vineeta you are welcome :).
@samrat that is interesting to know. do you folks know about the medicinal properties as well?
Anand, this is a perennial flowering plant that is known almost all over the world for its medicinal properties. It is called periwinkle in English. And, Samrat has already given you the Bengali name. It has three varieties- the pink, blue and white variety. I have never seen the blue one- only heard about it from my American friends.
hey sush, i recall ‘periwinkle’ from old classic novels. I think I have seen the pink variety as well. Haven’t seen the blue one.
