I finally found the bat shit crazy piece for my dining wall, and I’m absolutely thrilled with how it turned out! It’s one of those moments where creativity and a little bit of “juggaad” (a great term for makeshift or innovative fixes) come together to create something totally unique. The Backstory of My Juggaaaad Wall Art […]
Many people ask me why I don’t just buy new things but instead work with random pieces. Well, it’s the exploration of potential that fascinates me. Every random or discarded piece has some hidden value (of course, some never do, but that’s rare!), and watching them transform into something meaningful is simply amazing. For me, the […]
As a 5-year-old, I gingerly held my mother’s hand and entered Naru Aunty’s living room. That day is unforgettable, it was when I first encountered my lifelong companion and now best friend: Dance. The “dance class” was a small room, barely able to accommodate a few kids. I was apprehensive, not knowing anyone in […]
Slowly, the garden and light begin their tango, and I am merely the audience. I set the props here and there, just enough, and they come together and fade in passionate embraces, sunlight kissing leaves and flowers in delightful exchanges.

Of the many avatars I have in this lifetime, this is perhaps the oldest. Before I was a lover, a wife, a mother, or a corporate lead, I was, am, and shall always be a dancer. I dance for no specific purpose, except that it chose me. We all think we choose an art form, […]
There’s something magical about the winter sun setting, casting a soft, golden glow through the evening light. Yesterday, my home was the stage for a photoshoot with @studioalaya_proj, and photographer asked me an intriguing question about my perspective as an artist. It got me thinking deeply about the relationship between skills, craft, and the emotional […]
So, it’s my birthday! And honestly, Valentine’s Day never meant much to me till it became a full-blown commercial circus. Now my birthday’s got this Overdose vibe, flowers that cost a bomb, red everywhere, packed restaurants, and those ridiculous heart-shaped balloons. But anyway, here’s the thing: birthdays make you stop and, for a change, celebrate […]
Sometimes, if we truly pause and look, we find a fleeting moment that quiets the mind. It’s just for a split second, but in that brief moment, everything feels perfect, like nothing more is needed. The mind, of course, quickly returns, rushing in with commentary about how beautiful the moment is, adding context, thoughts, and […]
In the backyard, there’s a magnificent tree that generously casts shade over most of the space, except during the season when it sheds its leaves, allowing sunlight to stream in. Because of this natural cycle, the majority of plants here are shade-loving varieties, thriving in the cooler, filtered light. Here’s a glimpse of the […]
One of the lessons I’ve learned through container gardening is that when you load a pot with 4-5 different plants (thriller, spiller, filler concept), it actually reduces the need for maintenance. Less space for weeds, more beauty in one pot. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Roopasri Vittal (@museonmagic) But there’s a […]
