Rebellion in Saree

There is a hidden rebellion in Saree... and this image is from Miami ... the Wynwood kitchen and bar...
How both likely and unlikely... contradictions of all kinds... :)

Similar to one in my mind... This is the woman I could be anyday...

Mora

I had been wanting to post this for a while... When I first saw Mora creation... it felt something like my mom's and grand mom's work... These two ladies have collected weaves from all over India to create sarees unique and handcrafted...

So that's what Mora is... but its beyond sarees its about conserving a whole generation of weaves that are endangered in a very beautiful way...

I wish t have a Mora someday...

teen style and more

A lot of people relate style with superficiality... a lot other think that these people have got it all wrong...
I have been very curios about the new age much more informed teens... and their take on styling...
This girl elevated my respect to the new age teens and style both...

the philosophy of coexistence comes back to us in all form imaginable... salute to the effort.

the world that is ours

All good that happens and propagates is bound to become a wave… there is something quite remarkable about every small bit that is put here… my salute to the effort to preserve the expanse of existence at least in pictures… photography is just one way for a greater cause… having said that I am sure you will be able to see the unmatched skills and power of right execution of it…
