6 yards of pure heritage , craftsmanship, tradition that symbolises femininity, grace and the embodiment of Shakti … A Saree always ensures to make every woman beautiful and I surely am feeling it 🥰
Sitting amidst the beauty and ruins created by man, I couldn’t help but think of these lines -
“…I sit, eyes closed, senses fully alive
to natures beauty that surrounds me
I feel it with all my senses alive
My tired body and mind revive
While I meditate silently in joy...” - Temple Bless by Arti Chopra
Saree - Pure Kanjivaram silk of over 12+ years from mothership @sreekalaomanakuttan
Blouse - Almost a decade old by @rajattangriofficial
Earrings - Around 15 years from an exhibition
Proof that we often find treasures amidst time, tradition and craftsmanship we often take for granted 🩷
“Eating butter while reading Butter.”
Food was never meant to be feared.
It is Culture, Memory, Pleasure and above all Nourishment. 💓
Read a book 📖 . Eat the bread 🥖 . Order the soup 🍲 .
And please stop punishing yourself for enjoying a meal. 😇

March was a month of magic, movement and meaning ✨
It reminded me to live with intention, to choose growth over comfort and to protect my energy with clarity.
Experience adds Depth and Every moment demands to be present in the PRESENT. 🎁
Grateful 😇🙏🏻🦋

For a long time I apologized for things that never required an apology.
My feelings.
My boundaries.
My need for space.
My refusal to tolerate disrespect.
Somewhere along the way many of us were taught that being “good” meant being agreeable, quiet, and endlessly accommodating.
But shrinking yourself to make others comfortable slowly erodes who you are.
Growth sometimes means disappointing people.
Setting boundaries.
Walking away.
& Most Importantly “Choosing yourself”.
That does not make you selfish; It makes you honest to your soul, aware of your needs and deserving of the best.
“Believe in yourself and the Magic of the Universe.”
…March, I move forward clearer and stronger. 🙏🏻😇🧿
A week into March yet I can Thank February enough
February was not just another month; it was a time of reflection, clarity, and quiet transformation. It reminded me that growth often begins with uncomfortable truths, that peace is more valuable than approval, and that solitude can be a powerful teacher.
Some things were released, some lessons were embraced, and through it all I feel a deeper sense of purpose and gratitude.
I step into March with renewed energy, stronger boundaries, and a heart that is clear, focused, and inspired.
