This one’s is going to be my tribute to the matriarchal community into which I was born. Strong, sometimes cold and distant, yet rootingfor the best outcomes for my musical growth. It was a nun who spotted talent at 4 and told mum to put me for lessons. I was 15 when I played this piece and I marvel at my teachers and mentors at the time, all women from my hometown Mangalore. It wasn’t the men pushing me harder, it was these stoic, unflinching ambitious women, taking it upon themselves to find accomplished pianists to determine whether I was too young to be playing these pieces maturely. They would then ask, ‘well is she doing justice to the music’. I thrived in those times; to be initially underestimated and then watch expressions move from apprehension to beaming pride. My piano teacher the wonderful but temperamental and oh so strict matriarch, pacing furiously up and down would be outside my examination room, beads in hand saying the rosary. They couldn’t express love through touch and warmth. But in all that gruffness, today I see how much they loved and how much they gave to us little girls with stars in our eyes, hoping one day we would shine as bright as we could. Thank you to all my Mamas, you shaped me and I will always be grateful. by @pinat

A humble tribute to my favouritest band in the whole wide world 😍 Toto has been with me since my teens, the soundtrack to every joy and every heart ache. I feel their music so deeply and of course don’t get me started on Steve Lukather 😍 hope you like 🌸

My first attempt at cheesecake 😍 what seemed to have started off rocky ended with this delightful and frikkin delicious beauty. I did a half and half. Blueberry and mango and they’re both tart and pair perfectly with the cheese😋 very proud of myself I must say 🫂 (AI used to just clean up messy crumbs on the cake board 😋) taken in Mumbai - मुंबई by @pinat

My first in and out journey but we managed to make the most of it! Was so immersed in it didn’t take too many photographs. Thank you @lifeofpritomgohain for these beautiful portraits you took 💕 and for all my bandmates for making this such a fun experience!! Ps: we had some mystical strange things happening at night, on further research it turns out that the hotel was once a prison! taken in London, England by @pinat

I recently got diagnosed with severe endometriosis and adenomyosis.
Also have to get my uterus removed.
The first two days were super rough. With one surgery just about behind me, a diagnosis that I needed to get my septum cut to improve my sinuses and now this, I crashed. The exhaustion of keeping this body up was too much to bear. Also sitting with the fact that now I’ll never have my own kids, not that I ever wanted them, but the romantic notion that I could if I wanted, felt nice :) Till I started reading about how much of the body is affected by chronic inflammation, my sinus included. Realising I’ve been living in a state of fatigue and sluggishness for many years now, and feeling enormously guilty somehow believing I wasn’t taking care of myself the way many people were.
The last couple of years I’ve been working hard to correct things, drinking the morning waters, eating a low carb diet, snacking on the right things, strength training as much as my energy would allow. Yet not seeing results, again the way most people would. Now understanding that my body’s been trying to plough through with a ton of inflammation strapped to my back. Two steps forward, three steps back.
The enormous relief (and some amount of fear, surgery and needles scare the fuck out of me), that I will finally have my life back in full, post surgery has me looking forward to life! No more lower back and pelvic pain, histamine overload and some other gross functions I shall not mention.
Thank you @angadudaymusic and @choipots for the lovely doc recommendation (she is amazing💕) and for those with this debilitating experience, I lovingly encourage you to visit a specialist. This area was so under researched in the past and to a large extent still is. Pain pills to manage mind numbing pain, most barely work and stupid advice of ‘move better eat better etc’. How do you run when you can barely manage a crawl. We’ve come a fair way in this department with still a long way to go. Progress nevertheless.
Onwards and upwards 💕🌸

Ps: a photo of that fringe haircut I look forward to getting 😍 by @pinat
