Taking the effort for anything makes people pass it many a time.
Be it the effort to communicate clearly ,be it the effort to live life to the fullest.
The last on the list would be the effort to dress attractive.
People always mistake that if someone is taking the effort to dress well, then it’s to attract others.
Not always.
Many of us dress attractive to feel good about ourselves.
For me ,when I style and dress well, I kinda get a kick out of the look that i have created.
The image I see in the mirror makes me look at myself as if it’s another person.
I feel happy and attracted to that image that I see.
I wonder if there are others who feel like this .
Would love to know Whatz the emotion that you feel when you dress well.

Whatz a Co ord set ?
A coord set is an ensemble where the garments in that look are coordinated with each other bcos of perhaps the same fabric or matching print or colour.
But generally it’s bought as one set where everything is already coordinated for you .
What about making a coord set out of garments already existing in your wardrobe.
Here I have put together a coord set where each garment is from a different time ; having picked the skirt ,the blouse, and the dupatta from different places at different times.
It’s so magical when all of this falls in place so beautifully.
Do you assemble coord sets ?

Once upon a time,
there was a lil gal
Who grew up on an island,
there was something about the wind there that made her love poetry and nurture lil dragonflies.
Having lived a rustic life made her fall in love with every lil thing around her
and still makes her awestruck with tiny flowers and the dew on the grass blades!
Life was and is always in the small lil details that go unnoticed!

Life in black and white and a dash of yellow !
When i decide to style , the print, pattern, colours , textures all start to whirr around me and makes me very excited.Therez also a certain uncontrollable speed with which my brain works while choosing items to put together.
After the acceleration, it all finally settles down like a neat jigsaw puzzle and I just feel very content .
And then I just wear it !!
How do u do your styling?

Am wearing a mul checkered saree with a striped blouse with crocheted earrings and metal earcuffs.
The glass yellow bangles and the black n white shoes complete the look .

WENT TO A CONCERT SOLO!
Whatttt!!!
Yeah! I would have never imagined that I would go to a concert all by myself till sometime back ; not bcos I am afraid or uncomfortable, but just bcos I have never kinda thought about it .
But now that I don’t have my army (my immediate family) around me , I am beginning to open up to things.
And why not?
Plus I realise it’s a huge kick when you go out all by yourself and do things.
You learn that you don’t really need any company to experience and enjoy things.
I used to wonder how it would be alone to watch or go somewhere and not share the happiness.
That was always my top concern.
But now I realise, that you are not alone;you are sharing that joy with strangers around you.
Therez always a sense of community with people standing or sitting beside you and watching the same thing with awe and joy!
So there is a bonding that you share with people witnessing the same spectacle.
Went to watch percussionist Marcin perform ; his first time in India…. Omg.. what do I say !
I was like Julia Roberts witnessing the opera in “Pretty woman” for the first time.
Marcin Marcin is marvel to hear and a spectacle to watch.
He is not like going to a normal concert.
I could feel it in my spirit and I was so overwhelmed that I could feel my blurry eyes with tears!

Btw, I chose to wear a saree as that’s my most favourite attire and what a contradiction of a costume to wear to a guitar concert !

Have always been such an evangelist of Brocades.
The rich texture created by weaves always add character and grandeur.
The suit that am wearing here was converted from a Brocade saree which I picked up from Kanyakumari on my last trip with my Papa before he became a shining star in the sky.
Wearing this makes me go back to the times with my father who was my first Guru into textiles and embroidery.
He was the most balanced version of both the masculine and feminine in a guy.
The man who would cook, clean, garden, stitch, do hair for school , do makeup for me for dance , paint, sculpt… the list goes on.

Having grown up to such men in the family including my big brother, I have always had clear perceptions and expectations from men .
I have also had the privilege of meeting some fantastic guys in life who knew their female essence.
I am also raising a lil warrior at home to understand women in all their essence , to embrace their feminine energy, to empathise with their struggles due to biological reasons.
The world would be a much better place if mothers would take care to bring up their sons in the most appropriate manner to respect, include, engage and empathise with the women in true partnership.
The true essence of a man should be that of the Arthanareeshwara; half woman, half man , I feel as every man carries a woman inside and vice versa!
Whatz your take ?

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there”
Rumi

Only if we could all practice the above.
This is completely non judgmental.
If we could embrace our differences and respect each other for whoever we are , how much ever weird we find each other., not put down each other for our ways, our clothes, our opinions and just about anything that we find different in each other.
Only if we can stop being selective sinners!
Embrace ,Respect, Include!

Btw , am wearing mother of pearl carved jewellery paired with Swarovski crystals.

Exploring the north east was always on the list .
Started with Assam and Meghalaya.
The vibe is totally different.
Going into the villages of Kaziranga was mind blowing.
The forests, the tea estates, the tuk tuks or whatever u call it , the momos, the shrunken goats, the farm lands, the open spaces, the wilderness, the wind… all hit me on a different level.
Nagaland is next on my mind!

Wearing a tiered top , with linen shorts , n sneakers and the warm sun on my skin making it golden brown 😊
