If you work just for money, you’ll never make it. But if you love what you are doing,and always put the customer first, success will be yours.” A concept of selling your products was born on the potluck day which I had on 4th May 2016 at my home with my students, from there it has bloomed to a beautiful flower as "Creative Hands." We had an amazing 2 days sale on 6th and 7th August 2016. A big thanks to Trivandrum City and also to all them who ran behind this to make it a su ccess.

I wish I could see my little brothers more. We used to fight all the time during our childhood but now that I don't see them very often I cherish the time I have spend with them.  — with  Marvin Stephen Gomez  and  Martin Stephen Gomez .
