Late Mothers Day appreciation post for all the Mothers in my life - the Grand Mother, the Mother and the Mother to my kids.
Also got to take our annual 4 generations pic on Mothers Day this time.
Here’s the BEHIND THE SCENE of:
Closing the Art de Vivre Exhibition | 100 Years of Art Déco 🍸
On 21 February 2026, Business France hosted the Grand Closing Evening of Art de Vivre à la française at the Embassy of France in India, marking the conclusion of France’s participation as Country of Honour at India Design ID 2026, under the France–India Year of Innovation.

The evening brought together French and Indian designers, creators, and business leaders in a celebration of cultural and economic dialogue.
Honouring the centenary of Art Déco—born in Paris in 1925 and deeply reflected in Mumbai’s iconic architecture—the exhibition highlighted French savoir-faire at the crossroads of tradition and innovation, reinforcing art de vivre as a powerful bridge between France and India. ✨🇫🇷🇮🇳

Super proud to have both Emma and Isabelle be elected into the first ever junior school council @maneckjicooperschool as Jr. Head Girl (Emma) & Jr. Blue House Captain (Isabelle).
And to hear both of them sing alone and hear Emma speak so confidently was the icing on the cake.

Jazz has always been a dance with time: restless, resilient, and endlessly reinvented. @thedanceworx_official captures this restless spirit in The Blues Note: A Jazz Testament, choreographed by Creative Director @ammithkumar . Rather than simply recreating eras, the performance channels the living essence of jazz, tracing its evolution through high-energy movement and expressive storytelling.

Staged in the intimate setting, the show brings the audience close enough to catch every breath, every stomp, every charged pause before the music surges again. The choreography moves fluidly between form and freedom, celebrating both individuality and collective rhythm. Grounded grooves, sharp isolations, and echoes of social dance traditions create a rich ambiance that’s always in motion.

With this performance jazz becomes an experience living in the body like a pulse that carries resistance, release, and the joy of discovery. The result is an evening that is a testament to a form that refuses to stand still.

Early mornings, late nights, constant coordination, and the people working quietly behind the scenes to make sure everything runs exactly as it should.
Here’s a glimpse of the work that happens off stage:
When audiences attend a performance, they see the final result: the artist, the setup, the movement, the emotion.
But a single performance can involve weeks or months of preparation: technical rehearsals, stage builds, equipment logistics, coordination with venues, and careful synchronization between artistic and production teams.
The success of a performance is rarely the work of one individual. It is the result of collaboration, discipline, and a deep respect for every role involved in bringing the production to life.
Behind every standing ovation are dozens of professionals who quietly made that moment possible.

Absolutely grateful and fortunate to experience another side of New Zealand than just Auckland. Definitely one of the most chill 36 hrs I have had in close to a year and glad to have conference buddy @shrey26_ with me.
Thank you @ged_paul for the incredible dinner, catching all that fish, showing us your beautiful home & venue and taking us on a tiki tour of The Bay of Islands.
Experiencing this would have been impossible without the support of the @asianewzealandfoundation and Craig Cooper who was such a great host and guide. 🙏🙏🙏
