Designer Masaba Gupta stranded in Bali

Fashion designer Masaba Gupta says she is stuck in Bali due to an ash cloud from a volcanic eruption.

"Stranded in Bali thanks to an ash cloud from a volcanic eruption. Still no power in our workshop since two weeks. But hope is magic? Hope so," Masaba, known for quirky designs, tweeted on Thursday.

Mount Raung near Banyuwangi district, which has been back to life since June 29, shot columns of ash up to 2,000 meters into the air last month and spread to southeast and south of the crater, according to reports.
