Srividya Ravi

Some days, the brain cells and body cells are clearly not on speaking terms. Today was one such meeting gone horribly wrong.

All I wanted was a quiet corner, a book, hot chocolate with an unreasonable amount of whipped cream, a few bars of chocolate and for the world to collectively forget I exist.

But my brain cells, being the overenthusiastic, unsolicited motivational coaches: “Vidya, it’s all in your mind. Get up, get moving, get dressed!”

The body cells: “Vidya, don’t fall for this scam. We’re not in our 20s anymore. REST.

After 30 minutes of intense negotiations, the strong headed me obviously sided with the brain. Because apparently, listening to my own body is also not an option.
So, up I got and picked this Mysore Silk for the GI Tag Bingo box.

But this one? Absolutely special. ❤️ This was Mom’s very first saree, bought long before she even got married.

The only silver lining to an otherwise please-don’t-perceive-me-today kind of day.

And the drape? Oh, I could practically hear Mom rolling her eyes from wherever she is. Experimenting with her precious Mysore Silk? HOW DARE I! 😂 Pretty sure there’s a complaint being filed somewhere upstairs.

Anyway, done yapping for the day. Brain cells can celebrate their victory. Body cells and I are retreating to our shell, where we shall be accepting no visitors, no questions and absolutely no unsolicited motivation.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be in a committed relationship with my hot chocolate. Please respect our privacy.

PS: The green-for-blue was A’s idea. He said something about Mother Earth and colours and all that… my brain just went, “Not today, please!”
