A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

Chanced upon this today! Love it!!

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....

Enough money within her control to move out...
And rent a place of her own
even if she never wants to
or needs to...
Something perfect to wear if the employer
or date of her dreams wants to See Her in an hour...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
A youth she's content to leave behind....
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
retelling it in her Old Age....

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
A set of screwdrivers,
a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
One friend who always makes her laugh...
And one Who lets her cry...

A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
A good piece of furniture not previously owned
by anyone else in her Family...
Eight matching plates,
wine glasses with stems,
And a recipe for a meal that will make
her guests feel Honored...
A feeling of control over her destiny...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to fall in love without losing herself..
HOW TO QUIT A JOB,
BREAK UP WITH A LOVER,
AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT
RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP...
When to try harder...
And WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That she can't change the length of her calves,
The width of her hips,
or the nature of her parents..
That her childhood may not have been perfect...
But it's over...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
How to live alone...
Even if she doesn't like it...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Whom she can trust,
Whom she can't,
And why she shouldn't take it personally...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Where to go...
Be it to her best friend's kitchen table...
Or a charming inn in the woods...
When her soul needs soothing...

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
A month...
And a year... ॐ

Burst of colour!!

Celebrating the festival of colour in true Pyjama Party style! Here's a riot of colour for everyone! Happy Holi

Barbed wired fences

Like the tide sweeping to and fro on a sandy shore, there are lines that we draw and re-draw in all the relationships we have in our life, be it our family, friends, lovers, colleagues, acquaintances... Lines like barbed wire fences they dig into the flesh when crossed, leaving the sting of a salted wound, peppered with depletion and exhaustion.

 It feels like a weird concoction of amusing and confusing, how we let something go one day and will hold it against someone on another. I've caught myself doing that on more than one occasion and it continues to baffle me! 

The cacophony

She was the hurricane that hit the shore,
A whirlwind of energy about to implode,
Lighting bolts and whirring winds,
Caught in a cacophony of what could have been.

Poetry in motion- Charles Bukowski

I'm a huge fan of Charles Bukowski, through his brutally blunt words and at times dare I say crass writing, he is able to capture human emotion and infuse life into his characters. Ever since I read the Post office years ago I've be hooked.


Here is all time favourite 'Charles Bukowski poem : So you want to be a writer?  Captured in film so beautifully!!

Make everyone Go green this summer!

Come summer and temperatures begin to soar, there's nothing more calming and refreshing than adding a dash of green to your home. I'm quite the gardening enthusiast, with some plants that have thrived and of course the few fallen causalities that didn't quite make it.

The Pyjama Party range of bottle planters grew out of this passion for plants and the restrictions we have living in a metro like Mumbai. With space constraints always being the first thing to make us change our minds about growing plants, I've painted a whole range of recycled bottles with handy holders, so that you can hand them on your window grills, place them on your coffee table of hang them on your walls. Here are some of my designs, if you'd like to see more do drop me a line at pyjamapartydesigns@gmail.com or fill out the Contact me form and I'll send you the whole range

Pssstttt I can also customise a piece to best reflect you home and personal style.

What's going on in that traveller mind!

“The pleasure we derive from journeys is perhaps dependent more on the mindset with which we travel than on the destination we travel to.” -Alain de Botton

I remember reading this beautiful quote by Alain de Botton recently, unlike most of the other travel quotes I've chanced upon, this one struck a deep chord. We often find ourselves travelling to escape from our reality, we travel to be with friends, we travel to find ourselves, we travel to enrich ourselves. It's a really fun exercise, to try and go back in time and recollect  what was your exact mindset was just before your boarded that flight, took that train or hopped onto that bus.

Trust me you'll be pleasantly surprised, to find out how much your mindset influenced your travels. Some of the fondest memories and wildest trips I've had, have been the ones which weren't planned or where I was looking to take a break and escape from reality.

As the temperature rises!

Summers on it's way, it's time to rehydrate!! Purrrrr -painted bottle in the making!! Drink up!

Here are some of the other designs we have from the Recycle. Reuse. Rehydrate range of hand-painted bottles, to keep you hydrated this summer!

For the love of owls!!

Another just for fun owliee! If you haven't figured it out already I kinda do have a lil owl obsession every once in a while!
