Here’s me using this app like it’s 2018 : fake candids with questionable filters, midweek vanity that harms nobody. Ah good times 🥲

God’s favourite child in 2025 ✨🧿

Art becomes more meaningful when it carries a piece of the person who lives with it. This mural was painted hand-in-hand with Mithila, a gift of a client, who has never touched a paint brush in life before. The beauty you see here is a direct reflection of the wood, brick, warmth, curiosity and delicious food that fills this home, grateful to have been part of this 🦢🤍 And with that, we wrap up an important year, where every project was a reminder of why we do what we do. Here’s to a 2026, with more art, more milestones and a more consistent Instagram game 🪄🎆

This mural that I painted for @fearless.art at Fort Kochi as a part of the 200 metre wall was very close to my heart. The mangroves have always held deep personal metaphor in my own journey. People in my life who come from places of pain and oppression are also the ones holding together entire ecosystems. We collaborated with mangrove planters for whom planting of the mangroves is an act of resistance both against casteist violence and extractive forces. They believe that the blood of their ancestors flows through the mangroves. I felt deeply honoured to be able to paint those who do this important work for generations. Deeply grateful to all the ten artists, each of brought their own stories while depicting the coast guards, fishermen communities and the mangrove planters. @_nisha__devi_

Padagusiya nilavigudhu, Mankuthimma 💛 Last night in old home. Farewell party. I’ve often not had the space to value and celebrate endings enough. Leaving summer intensive’23 midway was one such. The amount of fomo I had on hearing this audio, I swear to god! This poetry is one of my first introductions to the language I now claim to have “professional fluency” in. It surely contributed to the chaos that led me to having the last 10 months of life. Dancing to this was a closure I promised back then, but this wasn’t bad timing at all I suppose. The house was a hard earned gift to little Nisha. I have felt the safest and closest to myself here. Nothing felt as difficult because I had my home to return to. I had a never ending to-do list in the house. I didn’t visit the neighbourhood park that I planned to do on the first week of moving in. But I striked off dancing to Mankuthimmana Kagga Shabdam. Thank you @aayanadance @pallavi.manjunath for showing the light ✨ Music : Aayana School for Movement and Madness 🌈 Wearing @the.rareattic @kathabyrareattic 🪶 Here’s to living fully, to the end ✨♥️ #touchwood

A random dump from a trip that felt like a fever dream, a trip that took months to recover from but changed my life for good probably. Privilege is always a bargain, and I have denied it to delusional amounts. Having grappled with this idea forever, it took me more than a year to process and probably be okay with it. So here’s to bonuses in life, the acknowledgement of it and probably fucking owning it 🕊️♥️ Side note : I looked great and had a ball of a time, the place had so much art and stories and I’ve dreamt of this since I first learnt “London bridge is falling down” so ofc #doitforthestories #dontpickme

A commemorative post for fav rain experience ☔️ #loveponchos

Leaving this chaotic practice video of @manishkumar_aayana ‘s supreme choreography here, only coz we’re celebrating Devi today ✨🔱 #akhilandeshwariarmy

Posting this before the overthinking spiral kicks in for the day This song in @devzart voice can never leave one’s head, here’s an attempt (failed) to get it out 🌊

@aishu_2317 and I share a special friendship as old as me. I rarely remember us fighting over anything, probably because we never wanted the same things. And yet we have fully respected, loved and cheered each other on. We have been present even when we didn’t fully agreed or understood the other. As we were sitting in cubbon and imparting our treasured childhood knowledge of Gulmohar nails to the next generation, I cannot help but be proud of how we’ve evolved into our lives in our own ways with so much grace and strength. I am so proud of the mother she is. I wonder what the little girls who had the master plan of running away from home and getting married to each other as sisters would feel about this all. Most important note : being an aunt is a blessing. All the friendship, love, sisterhood, motherhood, etc that I’ve ever felt for Ais is now felt in multitudes towards these two precious little humans🧿🧿🧿♥️ #home
