I got back from a much-needed break a few weeks ago. And while I did absolutely nothing the first few days, by the end I was itching to do something creative. So I made three dresses in two days! I will share them with all of you here in time. I sort of had my […]
Recently I was invited to a Sangeet ( pre-wedding celebration) and had to dress up. Well if you know me, you know I live in black kurtas and jeans. But black is considered inauspicious at celebrations and I had to wear colour and a ghagra as well! So this is what I came up with. […]
That very rare occasion when it isn’t paint that’s coloring my hands… …Henna/mehendi. It is so mesmerizing to see someone apply mehendi instinctively. There was no pre-planning, no structure and no fear. The mehendi cone was an extention of her arm which seemed to be an extention of her mind. Free flow of form and […]

Another new year rolls in and brings a future rich with infinite possibilities. So what am I going to do about them? I really don’t know. But I am looking forward to a fresh start. This is also the tenth year running for my blog. It has been a personal diary of sorts. It started […]
