SHIVAANI TARA DARLING

শিবানি তারা ডার্লিং ইতালির উপকূলে অবস্থিত ফ্যাশন ব্র্যান্ড এবং বুটিক শিভানীর স্রষ্টা। 27 বছর বয়সে, শিবানি আধুনিক দিনের ইতালীয়দের ট্রেন্ডিং লাউঞ্জ এবং বিলাসবহুল পোশাকে ব্যাপক প্রভাব ফেলেছে। প্রতিটি ডিজাইনের ফ্যাব্রিক এবং লেসের মধ্যে বোনা একটি অসাধারণ স্তরের কারুকার্য এবং দক্ষতার অফার করার সময় তার ডিজাইনগুলি জনসাধারণের কাছে সাশ্রয়ী মূল্যের থেকে যায়। তিনি, তার ব্র্যান্ডের পিছনে খ্যাতি থাকা সত্ত্বেও, বেনামী থাকা বেছে নেন।

Shivaani Tara Darling is the creator of the fashion brand and boutique located off the coast of Italy. At 27 years old, Shivaani has made a massive impact on the trending lounge and luxury wear of modern day Italians. Her designs remain affordable to the public while offering a remarkable level of craftsmanship and skill woven into the fabric and lace of each and every design. She, despite the fame behind her brand, chooses to remain anonymous.

not even gonna pretend to know if that even makes sense bc i also dont know bengali ☠☠

FUN FACTS ABOUT VAANI!!

VIRGO!!

introverted ash but had to learn to get over it when she was a kid because she was basically a spokesperson for her family to 'connect' with the youth for political reasons

knows how to speak begali, urdu, english (better than seth even lmao), italian, and spanish.

can shoot a gun but only because she asked for lessons as a teen. before that her parents made her do archery

RICH FAMILY!! this girl was given almost anything she could think of as long as it was 'ladylike' or wtvs. in exchange she had to do literally everything htey wanted hre to which is why she knows so many languages

oldest grandchild and has a 4 year age gap with the next sibling so yikes for her shes stuck with making sure she's the perfect sister

was her grandpa's fave grandkid which is why when she was essentially disowned she was like, literally depressed bc he owuld've had to agree to it

has always liked to draw to the point where she would doodle on all her tests up until her parents told her she couldn't or else they would just take away all her art stuff

learned how to sew from her grandma and loved to make her own clothes. her mom didn't like that though because she thought that that was something poor people did

very veryyy smart and understanding. she would've been a great politician if she wanted. strong bond with her community n everything

super protective over june because if she somehow dies then she has literally no one besides seth. yeah she has friends but definitely not enough for it to be any easier.

whenever she forgets a word in italian she gets super upset with herself bc she feels dumb in front of the people she's speaking to 😭

her middle name is her grandmas name so she tries to avoid having to write it down as much as possible bc it hurtsss

collects pens for fun and has a notebook where she writes down her rating

makes most of junes clothes

obsessed with lego. she tells herself that she buys them for june but really she plays with them more than the kid

has been invited to a ton of weddings but never goes bc a) she wants to say anonymous and b) she hates crowds of people

june's a massive extrovert though so she has to suck it up when she has friends over

was almost kidnapped likeeee twice?? when she lived in pakistan and once in italy (did not end well for the kidnapper though soz seth does not play ☠)

[themockturtlesoup]

Add on: There's no RSVP. The invitation goes like this," Please bring your entire family. Please remind your brother and his family to attend. You know how forgetful they are. Also, when you leave the house for the wedding, make sure your neighbour is leaving too because they may be late otherwise. And remember when I last came to visit you? There was this man we spoke to. Your aunt's cousin's neighbour, was he? Is he busy? Ask him to come as well."

Food options: Veg and Non- veg is a must for all Hindu weddings. Non- veg can be fish, chicken, or mutton because you have a thousand guests, and it's a great shame not to accommodate everyone.

Kids are half of the fun in a ny wedding. Who's going to cause chaos, steal food, and rob the groom's shoes if there are no kids around? You can't find any sitters for them either because the whole neighbourhood is invited to the wedding.

You are expected to wear your own wedding lehanga or saree to a wedding because otherwise you'll never get a chance to wear them again.

For Bengali Hindus at least, the wedding itself lasts or 3 days, minus ashirvad, aiburo vat, things like ashtamangala.

Ashirvad: means blessing. Confirmation of the wedding. Usually a convoy is sent to the bride/groom's house who do a blessings ceremony with gold jewelary, cosmetics and toiletries, cothings, sweets and everything you can think of. The day of wedding is fixed.

Aiburo vat: Means the meal eaten as a bachelor/bachelorette. The neighbours invite the groom/bride for a prepared meal before the wedding to celebrate.

Mehedi: The ritual of applying henna to bride and the bridesmaid. Can involve singing and dancing.

The wedding itself: 3 days, 1 and a half day in each house. The wedding day starts at dawn with Adhivas or the beginning of the auspicious rituals. The bride and groom eats before dawn then fast the entire time.

Gaye holud is a ritual to apply turmeric paste to both bride and groom.

Wedding proper: Depending on the auspicious time as per almanack, it can be anytime between evening and early morning. The groom must pay ransom to first enter the wedding hall, then get his stolen shoes back. Involves lots of religious as well as customary rituals. The bride is carried out on a wooden flat tool by 4 brothers or cousins or equivalent people and is taken round the groom 7 times followed by Shuvodristi or the auspicious look where the bride and groom see each other. The bride's father or someone equivalent (uncle) gives her hand away with fire, gods and ancestors bearing witness.

Basi biye: the 2nd day of wedding. After half a day of rituals and a tearful goodbye, the rituals commences at the groom's house where the new bride is received with auspicious sites like boiling milk (symbolises overflowing happiness), live fish (long and prosperous marriage), pot full of water, banana, paddy and durba grass (signifies happy, rich and fruitful life).

The night is called the dark night as it is believed if the bride and groom see each other on this night, they will soon be separated by death.

3rd day is Bouvat, where the bride serves food to the extended family.

Ashtamangala: On the eighth day, the groom takes the bride back to her house to visit.

Overall, South Asian weddings are not "the bride's day". They are the days when 2 families meet each other, come close and accept new members.

How to Choose the Best Saree for Attending Weddings in India

Attending a wedding in India is a grand celebration, and picking the perfect saree for the occasion can enhance your style, making you stand out. Indian weddings are known for their vibrant colors, rituals, and traditional fashion, and as a guest, your saree plays a huge role in making a statement.

Here’s your ultimate guide to choosing the best saree to wear at weddings as a guest:

1. Consider the Occasion and Season

Indian weddings often last several days, with multiple functions like mehendi, sangeet, and the reception. The key to selecting the right saree is to match it with the event’s mood and season. For daytime functions, light fabrics like georgette or chiffon in pastel shades and florals are perfect. For evening receptions, opt for heavier fabrics like silk or banarasi sarees with rich, intricate designs to make a grand entrance.

2. Choose the Right Fabric for Comfort and Style

Comfort is just as important as style when selecting your wedding saree. Indian weddings are long, and you want to feel at ease throughout the ceremonies. Silk sarees, especially kanjivaram and banarasi silk, are elegant yet comfortable for the main wedding event. For lighter functions, go for chiffon or organza sarees, which are easy to drape and carry while keeping your look sophisticated.

3. Explore Trending Colors

Colors play a big role in standing out at weddings. While red is traditionally reserved for the bride, wedding guests can explore a wider color palette. Jewel tones like emerald green, royal blue, and burgundy are great for evening events, while lighter shades like pastel pink, lavender, and soft gold add elegance to daytime functions. Metallic shades like silver and copper also create a luxurious look.

4. Focus on Embellishments and Design

When attending a wedding, your saree should strike the right balance between subtle elegance and festive grandeur. Look for sarees with intricate embroidery, mirror work, or zari detailing. Heavy pallu sarees with unique motifs add a royal touch to your look. To avoid upstaging the bride, steer clear of overly ornate bridal designs and instead focus on understated glamour.

5. Draping Style Makes a Difference

How you drape your saree can make all the difference. The traditional nivi drape is classic, but experimenting with regional draping styles like the Gujarati or Bengali style can add a cultural touch. Wearing a saree with a belted pallu or an innovative blouse design can modernize your look while keeping it traditional.

6. Accessorize to Complete the Look

No saree look is complete without the right accessories. Statement jewelry like jhumkas, bangles, and necklaces can elevate your outfit. Pair your saree with a chic clutch or potli bag and finish off with embellished sandals or heels.

Why Choose Navya by Nirali for Your Wedding Guest Look?

At Navya by Nirali, we understand the need for unique sarees that balance tradition with modern trends.

How Kolkata Sweets Became a Symbol of Celebration and Joy

Kolkata, the cultural capital of India, is renowned for its vibrant festivals, rich heritage, and delectable cuisine. Among its many culinary delights, Kolkata sweets stand out as a beloved symbol of celebration and joy. From the bustling streets of the city to the grand festivities celebrated across the nation, these sweets have woven themselves into the fabric of Kolkata's identity. This blog explores how Kolkata sweets have become synonymous with happiness, festivity, and togetherness.

A Rich Culinary Heritage

The origins of Kolkata sweets can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the city emerged as a cultural and economic hub. Influenced by the diverse communities that settled in Kolkata, sweet-making evolved into a refined art form. Traditional recipes were handed down through generations, and sweet shops flourished, offering an array of confections that captured the essence of Bengali culture.

Among the most iconic sweets originating from this city are rasgulla, sandesh, misti doi, and chanar payesh. Each sweet carries a unique story, reflecting the creativity and passion of local artisans. Rasgulla, for instance, is celebrated for its spongy texture and syrupy sweetness, while sandesh showcases the finesse of fresh chhena, molded into delicate shapes and flavored with cardamom or saffron.

Sweets as an Integral Part of Celebrations

In Kolkata, sweets are not merely desserts; they are an integral part of every celebration. Whether it’s a wedding, a festival, or a birthday, Kolkata sweets play a vital role in bringing people together. During festivals like Durga Puja and Diwali, families and friends exchange boxes of sweets as tokens of love and goodwill.

The significance of sweets in celebrations extends beyond their taste. They symbolize hospitality, warmth, and the joy of sharing. In Kolkata, offering sweets to guests is a cherished tradition, reinforcing social bonds and fostering a sense of community.

The Art of Sweet-Making

The craftsmanship involved in creating Kolkata sweets adds to their allure. Master sweet makers, known as "misti walas," dedicate years to perfecting their craft. They meticulously select the finest ingredients, from fresh milk to fragrant spices, ensuring that every sweet is a masterpiece.

The process of making sweets is often elaborate and requires great skill. For instance, the preparation of rasgulla involves curdling milk, kneading the chhena, and boiling the balls in sugar syrup until they reach the perfect texture. This attention to detail and commitment to quality has earned Kolkata sweets a reputation that extends far beyond the city’s borders.

Innovations and Modern Twists

While traditional recipes form the backbone of Kolkata sweets, innovation has also played a crucial role in their evolution. Contemporary sweet makers are experimenting with flavors, textures, and presentations, resulting in unique offerings that appeal to a broader audience.

For example, you can now find fusion sweets that combine traditional ingredients with modern twists, such as chocolate sandesh or mango rasgulla. These innovations have made Kolkata sweets accessible and exciting for younger generations while still honoring their rich heritage.

A Symbol of Togetherness

Kolkata sweets have transcended their role as mere culinary delights to become symbols of joy and togetherness. They evoke nostalgia and memories of shared moments with loved ones. The act of savoring sweets together fosters connections and strengthens relationships, making them an essential part of life in Kolkata.

During festivals, the city comes alive with the vibrant sights and sounds of celebrations, and sweets are at the heart of it all. From roadside stalls to renowned sweet shops, the aroma of freshly made sweets fills the air, inviting everyone to indulge in the spirit of festivity.

Conclusion

Kolkata sweets embody the city’s culture, traditions, and celebrations. They are not just a treat for the taste buds but a representation of love, joy, and community. As Kolkata continues to evolve, these sweets remain a cherished symbol, reminding us of the importance of sharing happiness with those around us. Whether during a festival, a wedding, or a simple family gathering, the sweetness of Kolkata sweets will always be a testament to the city's rich heritage and the joy it brings to people's lives.

You've written about attending Indian Wedding before and I was wondering if I could ask you a question about attending one.

I am not Indian but I am invited to a Bengali-Punjabi wedding. Both sides are Hindu but there seem to be issues with every event because of the different customs. It's so bad that the two mothers are not speaking and using intermediaries which is not helping.

Do you have any advice for keeping the peace? Or preventing the bride from losing her shit on her mother or mother in law?

oh wow this sounds fun but also very stressful. The wedding I went to recently had a Kannadiga bride and a North Indian (UP-ite) groom so similar vibes but there was no drama— they'd agreed to split the rituals in what they felt was an equitable way, and because the northies had come down to Bangalore for the wedding, everyone understood it was the bride's family's turf (not to mention they were the ones paying for everything) but we were all very welcoming to the groom's family.

I feel like what you're describing is the sort of thing that needs to be figured out beforehand because yes, the two cultures do wedding rituals differently so they should have figured out how to split/do both. And barring that, the moms really need to suck it up and stop letting ego get in the way of their children's happiness.

Honestly there's not a lot you can do but if you know the bride well, then I'd just be there for her so she can vent, and if she has a specific idea of what she wants that radically differs from one or both sides, then maybe(?) advocate for that on her behalf but ultimately, the Indian wedding ethos is that the wedding isn't just for the bride and groom, it's for the FAMILIES— which I respect but that's also how you get situations like this where the parents are being unnecessarily dramatic for the sake of their family honor or whatever.

UNIQUE WEDDING CEREMONY FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF INDIA

Weddings hold so much importance in India. It’s not about people meeting but the commitment of being together forever with each other no matter what. Weddings are great celebrations and denotation of solemnization of the coming together of two people.

India is a diverse country and so are our wedding rituals. Just like the language, our rituals change with different parts of the country. And all of them hold some importance and blessings. It is such a delight to be a part of these rituals as they are the sign of piousness and purity of a relationship.

Here we have some of the wedding rituals from different parts of the country and what they stand for. Each one of them is unique and holds a different meaning.Aiburo Bhaat-West Bengal

Also known as the traditional bachelor party in Bengal, it is the last means to wed-to-be eat before marriage. It is served to both the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be.

The meal is actually an authentic Bengali meal that has specially made fish with Bhaat(rice).

Accompanied by the elders singing wedding folk songs and dancing creates a happy and loving surrounding, giving the blessing to the bride and groom.

Ganesh Maatli/ Ganesha Sthapan-Gujrat

Throughout India, it is believed that any Shubh(auspicious) thing should be started with the worship and blessing of lord Ganesh and that is what Shree Ganesh is called.

Following the same path in Gujra Ganesh Maatl/ Ganesha Sthapant stands for welcoming and worshiping lord Ganesh before starting the marriage rituals. With that, they ask for a happy beginning and protect the upcoming joy from anything bad.

Kashi Yatra-Andhra Pradesh

Okay, so this one is pretty fun. Kashi Yatra means visiting Kashi means a lot in Andhra Pradesh. So in this ritual, the groom on the wedding day pretends and teases the bride side that he will leave everything and go to Kashi to worship lord shiva and leave worldly pleasure.

To stop him the bride’s brother convinced him to stop and marry his sister. It is actually a fun ritual and involves lots of jokes.

Saptapadi Ritual-Maharashtrian

Saptapadi Ritual is a Maharashtrian wedding ritual that is done while taking the seven rounds with fire in the center(Saat Pheras). In this ritual, before the pheras, the bride places her right foot on top of seven betel nuts which are decorated on top of the small mold of rice.

After the seventh round is completed the bride places her foot on the grindstone and the groom holds her hand symbolizing that no matter what the groom will support her in her tough times and the bride to be strong throughout their companionship.

Dwar Chakai-Marwari

Dwar Chakai is a Marwari ritual in which when the baarat finally comes to the wedding venue the groom hits the well-decorated entrance with a neem stick. The rituals symbolized the neem stick as an auspicious plant that will keep the wedding and mandap from any kind of negativity.

Pin it

It is a kind of fun ceremony as the bride side tries hard to make it difficult for the groom and once the groom is done the mother of the bride pulls the groom’s nose and puts a tilak on his head to welcome home for the wedding.

Kangnabandhana and Kanyadaan-Bihar & East UP

Kangnabandhana and Kanyadaan is a wedding in Bihar and east Uttar Pradesh where the priest ties make a bracelet of cotton thread with mango leaves and haldi and tie the right hand of both bride and groom together. Making the relationship official and taking blessings from god.

The barber then cuts the toenails of the bride and groom inside the mandap symbolizing the negativity gone. Then the bride’s mother and father gave away the bride’s hand to the groom denoting that not she is his forever.

Bor Baton & Leilenga-Manipur

Bor baton and Leilenga are a fun wedding ritual from Manipur. For Bor Baton, the young brothers from being bride’s house visit the groom’s house to convince him and invite him to the wedding. Also accompanied by lots of gifts and fun chat.

Simultaneously in the bride-to-be’s house, the bride with her bridesmaid weave her Garlands for the garland ceremony by herself along with the main priest chanting holy mantras to keep away the wedding from any kind of negativity and blessing it with god.

Ab Shehrun-Kashmir

Ab shehrun is a beautiful Kashmiri wedding ritual in which the bride takes bath to cleanse herself from any negativity for the fresh start of her new phase of life. Usually accompanied by her mother and sister. The elders of the house bless the girl for a good and positive start.

After that, the bride gets ready in her traditional outfit also known as Pehran and then takes blessing from god by offering two rakath.Sparsham Ritual-Kerala

Sparsham Ritual is a wedding ritual from Kerala where the groom and bride sit together on the floor facing each other. Their heads are met and then the bride puts rice in the holy fire symbolizing their holy meeting. After that, the groom puts the right foot of the bride on the grindstone symbolizing that she has finally left her house and now she has entered her new family with him.

Kalire Ceremony-Punjabi

The Kalira ceremony is a well-known ceremony performed at every Punjabi wedding. In this beautiful kaliras are tied to the chooda of the bride-to-be. It is also encrusted with some betel nuts and dry fruits.  he bride then goes to the unmarried girls and shakes her kaliras above them. It is said that if the betel nut or a part of kalira falls on any of the girls that she will be the one to get married next.’

please more desi supernatural?

just for u anon i love u sm

*disclaimer: i am desi! i am not sikh! lmk if anything is inaccurate or offensive! also in this au mary was a bengali hindu but died before she could teach sam and dean much, and john doesn’t care enough to keep their culture alive.*

this is a bit of a different take bc im picturing desi/half desi sam and dean who were raised by good ol’ white american john. their cultures were demonized (quite literally) and they’re not only distrustful of the more supernatural parts of their culture, they’re distrustful of other brown people, because they’re so cut off from knowing other people of color at all. (kinda related: if ur a poc in a majority yt area u are stronger than any us marine)

so im picturing early seasons sam and dean, before cas, before hell, before any of it. a hunter calls them up and tells them about a case in queens. it sounds like something john cleared up twenty years, and despite dean grumbling about new york traffic, they get in the car. 

for the case: im thinking a ghost’s terrorizing a family owned indian restaurant in queens. why? i don’t know. ghosts don’t like spicy food. someone’s colonizer ancestor. it doesnt matter

what does matter is sam and dean pull up to this restaurant after 12 hours of driving, after an hour and a half of carefully maneuvering the impala. they go inside just before the restaurant closes, ordering a thali to split and waiting until the place is empty. in my head, they know they’re too young, too scruffy, too openly sad to pass as fbi agents, so they pretend to be college kids, introducing themselves as sam and dean chowdari, asking what they can do to help. 

the owner and his wife - mr. and mrs. shergill, sikh, celebrating their 37th wedding in april, kept saying they’re going to move out of the city and never really meaning it - recognize these desi half-starved college kids in the same way they recognize their children, in the same way they’d recognize themselves from 40 years ago. 

they give them a glass of leftover lassi each and answer their questions, and well, when the boys help them ward the building, what else was there to do except invite them upstairs for some tea and dinner? it’s past midnight, they’re young men, they must be hungry. we have some leftover saag aloo and rotis, it’s really no imposition at all. where are you sleeping? you don’t know? i’m certainly not going to let you sleep in that car of yours. we’ve got a pullout couch and our son’s old bed should be big enough for you, sam. 

so sam and dean are spending the night in this apartment that still has plastic on the remote. doilies on the side tables, that one blanket on the bed, spices in a round steel tin, plastic bags under the sink, a picture of guru nanak watching over dean on the couch. they feel comfortable and taken care off and at home in a way they never have, in a way they were never allowed. 

eventually, they take care of the ghost. they go to the gurudwara with the shergills, they eat langar, they load up the impala with murukku and hand-me-downs from the shergill’s son. they promise to stop by the next time they’re in town, and mr shergill spends an hour telling dean the best ways to go to avoid traffic. they head off into the sunday night sunset, a devdas cassette tape tucked between the classic rock.
