ADORNED LIVES

Colour is of an important significance in the lives of people in india. "When a girl is born a simple red odhani is wrapped around her suggesting her auspicious birth. The colour gets yellow as the girl reaches puberty. When she gets married it is encircled with a bright red orange dot on the centre and as time passes the same dot on her odhani turns brown suggesting she is a widow. "
Travelling around diffrent parts of the country helps me decifer the various walks of life adding colour and spice to your being.

peek -a- boo


heat outside but they know where to find their chill zones.


more fashionable than what we are supposed to be people in these small villages of india lead simple lives with basic amenities finding joy in the smallest of things. they are more fashionable, more happy and enjoy lives to the fullest. In contrary we are running after mad frenzied careers, money, families, responsibilities and what not. its seriously time to look back , rethink, rejoice and rewind.
Cause what is this life if full of care.........we have no time to stand and stare................

  3. If a state is as colourful as gujarat, no wonder fashion is everywhere, incl villages.

    Absolutely loved the peek-a-boo pic.
