In a county that’s suddenly become obsessed with saree draped AI images, I can proudly say that I drape without getting them pre-stitched, wear them on and off (and not just festivals), and can identify and appreciate the weave and work of many, even if not all. Most importantly, it does not require a social media tend to make me appreciate my own heritage…

reminding the world
that everything
comes to an end.
And if it’s something
that you treasure,
then it ends faster.

There’s this scene in a movie (don’t know which one it is) which has inspired a bunch of reels, and for once, all of them are correct. So, that one scene has Nawazuddin Siddiqui helplessly shouting “Aakhir chahiye kya aurat ko”? So here I am, adding on to the list -

1. Safety
2. Clean, safe, and accessible toilets outside of our homes and offices.
3. Basic courtesy, civic sense, and etiquette.
4. Less judgement, more co-operation.
5. Skin and haircare products that actually deliver, without burning a hole in our pockets. It is injustice to pay 400/- bucks for a Kajal pencil that lasts way less than a pencil does.
6. Size inclusive clothes.
7. Just like that off days.
8. Coloured cars on roads. Greens, magentas, purples, pinks, powder blue.
9. Taste without calories.
10. Men free zones (apart from washrooms, spas, and parlours).

something that you

To be honest,
one cannot be sure of
