                Originally written for Ciceroni

Summer is here! The world smells of roses. The sunshine is as bright as the powdered gold spread all over the place. The birds are chirping as loud as they can. It is one of those March days where the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold everywhere, but, in Ahmedabad's case, the winds are as hot as the sun.
It is time to stuff those woollen clothes in your wardrobe and make some space for the lovely delicate summer separates you have been waiting for.
Here are some of the styles that you could opt for this season along with the names of brands & stores from where you could find your piece of elegance.

1) Kurta

Cotton absorbs the sweat from your body and allows it to evaporate into the air. This makes it the perfect fabric for summer because it keeps you cool. Avoid synthetic fabrics as much as possible because most synthetic fabrics do not breathe. So when you sweat, the sweat doesn't dry off like it should.
We recommend grabbing a cotton or a khadi kurta along with an ankle length legging. You can also opt for a Pakistani pants to go with the kurta. Colours like white, yellow, beige and other light hades can keep you cool. You could also pick up a dhoti pant to pair it up with your kurta.
You can either take sets or mix and match according to your style. Ray-ethnic, Keri, Khadi Bhandar are the places where you could find these.

2) Saree

Florals are a summertime staple, and with options ranging from super subtle to bright and bold, they’re easy to carry. Try opting for a solid coloured sleeveless crop top which has been a trend this year. Or you could also opt for a linen saree by pairing it up with a cold shouldered top and statement jewellery.
You can find a huge variety of sarees either in Kalpana Saree store or in Sanskruti.


3) Angarkha Top

Show off your love for the Gujarat's traditional style by opting for special angarkha style top with tie-up detail. You can pair it up with a denim jeans or narrow pants or culottes.
You can find these styles from the label Namaste NYC - India


4) Dress

It is summer, the time of the year where you can escape with brighter, bolder prints and designs, an ideal time to give stripes and florals a shot. You can also try different prints, as well—like paisley, polka specks, and tribal prints which make perfect pattern for a sundress.
Pair your summer dress with caged flats and retro sunglases.

I will meet you there

Outside the rims of morality, sanity and reality, there is a ground in the universe that is beyond time and space, I will meet you there. Where the day never ends and where the night is always fresh Where your lies won’t matter and my love will not fall short Where intentions and preferences are people  And where the only work to do is spread happiness Where humanity is a bit more human  And where everyone embraces your imperfections and flaws gracefully Where silence will be louder and actions don’t need to act Where nobody judges you or your ways Where everyone adores you for who you are Where curses turn to boon and blessing are given to all Where rainbows are not overturned and where rainbow resembles dignity Where scepticism, greed and pain don’t exist And there is no entrance for animosity Where you get coffees filled with passion and pursuit  And where everyone has their own sunshine in the veranda Where sunshine’s are nothing but pixie dust filled with benevolence  And where ev

In Frame: Shubhashini, Abhyarthana, Janice, Kira, Priyanka P, Priyanka A, Sheril, Dipali, Komal, Dhara, Jaivika, Anandpyari, Mihika, Ruchie, Swati, Dhruva, Sigma, Sneha No, you do not qualify in the standards of how and what the society describes and means beautiful. Some say it’s colour. Some say it’s figure. Some say it’s height. And for some, it’s flawless skin or hair. Some say getting married, others say lasting marriage, some say being a mother is beautiful. Guess what you are none of the above mentioned is true. Absolutely none of them. And till today it did not seem to be a problem because you were good at other things like being talented, independent, being courageous and kind most of all having a heart! Well, at least that’s what your parents said to look for in everyone else— to look for kindness, love, compassion and forgiveness. Until today when an Advertisement made you want to question about yourself— your looks and your confidence. When a TV actress you

Star Dust

Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  What if we are made up of the ashes and dust of the stars, And we are here on earth to learn how to shine, So that when we return back to nothingness, We know how to twinkle. And probably then we might realize that it's just the beginning of a new end.  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  They say soulmates are made in heaven What if it's true?  What if soulmates are the ones that have some essence of the star ash that you were made up off?  What if you can only fall in love with someone who has an identical spirit of that star ash?  But then, in that case, why do we sometimes forget to live and love ourselves?  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  And we just don't know it yet...  Everyone says we are made up of sand and clay.  But what if the truth is unknown to us?  Oh, what if it
