DAY 5965

Jalsa, Mumbai June 17/18, 2024 Mon/Tue 2:52 AM

🪔 ,

June 18 .. birthday greetings to : Ef Nitin Churiwala from Chennai .. and .. Ef Dipti Deshmukh .. 🙏🏻🚩❤️

💍 .. wedding anniversary greetings to Ef Maggi .. for June 18 .. 💐🙏🏻🚩❤️

A decisive manner .. a firmness of opinion .. a wealth of acceptance from those that give .. is a boon to the mind and heart of them that deliver the closeness , that another shall never !

Its gives strength to the self of course , but also to the other that has the same plain as you ..

I am in strength .. as I experience the accept .. I believe that the strength is a universal feel of all .. humanity is the same .. and they feel the same ..

There can be crossroads .. traffic .. breakdowns of the machinery .. but eventually the matter of the matter is always is pertinent and pure .. purity never deceives .. it cannot .. because there is no substitute to it .. if there is , it is then impure .. !!

In the age of young .. in the winter of the North .. Mother in her limited means made clothing to protect us from the cold .. it was rough, blanket like - for that was what was available at the means of limitation .. it was such a discomfort to wear it .. but it was insisted .. and Mother was not disobeyed .. the pant was most in discomfort ..

we would complain :

माँ, बहुत गड़ता है !

but we had to bear it .. until one fine day a solution occurred ..

before wearing the गड़ता हुआ पतलून , I would wear the cotton pyjama that used to be our night dress .. and then wear the pant over it .. no one knew , and the गड़ना बंद !!

Now , with the advent of superior quality .. superior warmth protection .. there is only remembrance .. the discomfort , details itself more on whether it is keeping with the latest social wear, fashion etc., ... and yes by the prayers and blessings of the elders the limited means , converted to a mere 'means' ..

And at 82 .. the most wearable wear and with the comfort of the self is indeed the 'pyjama' .. the 'chudi daar' the 'salwar' ..

Soft , gentle on the body .. and conditioned for ventilation .. 🤣🤣🤣 ..

It's only short coming is the 'nada' नाड़ आ ' ... shortcoming is now a cliché , for the showing outside beyond the confines of the top, the 'kurta' was moment of great mirth tease and laughter :

ए , तेरा नाड़ा दिख रहा है !!

and convulsive laughter 😆

BUT .. now they tell me , the showing of the 'nada' is fashionable !!

😳

aahhhh .. what next ..😜

get to bed dear Ef .. it is coming on to 3:18 am of the 18th June ..

My love and care ..❤️

PART 1

THE GIRL IN JASMINE AND GOLD

Simon Riley hated weddings. He especially hated being flown across the bloody globe to attend one.

India—loud, sweltering, bursting with color and chaos—was everything he despised. The moment he stepped off the plane, the noise hit him like a punch to the head: shouting porters, car horns that never stopped, music blaring from every direction. And the crowds—people pressed together like sardines, smiling, talking, brushing past without apology. It set his nerves on edge.

So, of course, Soap was marrying an Indian woman. In Chennai. With three full days of ceremonies, rituals, and celebrations.

It was Day Two. The Nalangu ceremony—some sort of pre-wedding games and blessings—and Simon had reached his limit. His crisp cream kurta stuck to his back. He’d been dragged into three different group photos. Someone smeared turmeric on his face earlier. There was cardamom in everything.

Soap was in his element, laughing easily with the bride’s family, his smile wide and golden in the sunlight. Price and Gaz were nursing cold drinks under a cloth canopy, chatting like they were on vacation. Simon, meanwhile, lingered at the edge of the festivities, arms crossed, his skull mask tucked away in deference to the occasion—but his expression was no less unreadable.

Then he saw her again.

He’d first noticed her the evening before, at the welcome dinner. A young woman in a pale, silken saree—delicate threads of gold embroidery running along its border, draped carefully over one shoulder like a veil of moonlight. She hadn’t spoken much, if at all. Just smiled politely, murmured thank-yous, and stuck close to an older couple—her parents, likely—or hovered near a gaggle of aunts and cousins.

Sanjana. That’s what someone had called her.

Her eyes were always downcast in public, flitting upward only in short, uncertain glances. She didn’t laugh loudly or pose for pictures or jostle for food at the buffet. She folded her hands in front of her and stayed still, like she was trying not to take up too much space. Her hair was pinned into a low bun, jasmine flowers tucked at the side. She looked soft. Shy. Quiet—a word Simon rarely got to associate with this wedding.

And yet she’d been everywhere. Helping the older women carry trays of food. Offering water to guests. Fixing other people’s sarees. Always in the background, yet unmistakable once you noticed her.

He had noticed.

Maybe it was the way she stood apart, even in the center of things. Or the way she watched the world with large, solemn eyes—like she was absorbing everything and giving nothing away.

Either way, he'd been observing her for nearly a day now.

Then the opportunity came.

The late-afternoon sun had dipped low enough to cool the air, and most of the guests had retreated under the shade of the mandap tent. TF141 had found a quiet corner with their own stash of drinks and an empty fruit platter. Simon sat slightly apart, arms draped over his knees, watching the gathering from behind his usual stillness.

And then Tara, the bride, appeared—resplendent in her green silk saree and full of the kind of energy only brides could summon after hours of rituals.

She led Sanjana with her, gently holding her by the wrist.

“Sanjana, just check on the boys, yeah?” Tara said brightly, with the tone of someone assigning a harmless errand. “Make sure they’ve got water, snacks—whatever they need. I’ll be back in two minutes.”

Sanjana looked like she’d rather melt into the floor.

Simon watched as she stepped forward, silent and obedient, clutching the edge of her saree blouse with one hand like it gave her courage. Her bangles clinked softly as she moved.

She didn’t meet anyone’s eyes. Not even his.

But she was here now. Right in front of them.

He leaned forward, just slightly—enough to listen.

this is going on ao3 once maintenance ends. T rated, no major content warnings. Daniel reunites with Armand in India

Turns out twenty first century India’s full of vampire fanatics, whose enthusiasm for Daniel’s book had spawned an impromptu press tour.  He’s traversed the length and breadth of the country, giving interview after interview to pretty young journalists with more chutzpah than sense. 

The first time he felt Armand he’d been traveling from Bangalore to Chennai, on an ancient train with peeling paint. He’d jolted awake in his private car, the rumbling of the train a distant murmur compared to the borrowed blood roaring in his ears. It was like a string within Daniel had been pulled taut. He turned in the direction of Armand - to where he knew, instinctively, Armand was - and felt something within him reach out.

Miles and miles away, he felt something respond in kind.

One rented car and two nights of dubious dirt-road driving later, Daniel found Armand in bumfuck nowhere, Tamil Nadu. He floated in front of a temple whose summit seemed to touch the sky, his cheekbones illuminated by the full moon above them.

“Armand!” Daniel got out of his car with all the grace of a raging bull. “What the fuck is this?”

Armand kept staring at the temple, suspended in midair. A faint breeze made Armand’s hair and the hem of his black kurta flutter. Despite everything he’d learned about vampires in the last six months, Daniel wondered if Armand had heard him. 

“I remember this place,” Armand said, so quietly Daniel wondered if he’d hallucinated it.

“You remember this?” Daniel strode towards Armand, stopping when his head was under Armand’s sandals. “From when?”

“I was a child.” Moonlight made the whites of Armand’s eyes gleam. “I prayed here, with my parents.” 

He floated to the temple’s entrance. His big toe kissed the carving upon the threshold. “I knelt upon this stone.”

He floated into the temple itself. Daniel had no choice but to follow him. He watched Armand come face to face with the idol nestled within the center of the temple. 

“I remember the smell of the incense,” Armand said. He cupped the idol’s cheek. “I remember the garlands the priests hung around this god’s neck.” 

He grasped the garland around the idol’s neck now, and rubbed one of its jasmine petals between his fingers. “When I was a boy I wondered if the garlands were as soft as they looked.” He smiled, his teeth a flash of white in the dark. “Now I know.”

Finally Armand turned towards Daniel. His eyes glistened with unshed tears. The smile receded from his face, inch by inch, until Daniel was face to face with the expression Armand had worn right before he bit him.

“Will you interview me?” Armand asked. “Will you let me tell you what I remember?”

Pride in Every Pin Round Table Lapel Icons of India

Across generations and borders, symbols have spoken louder than words. Among such iconic representations in India, the Round Table Lapel Pin stands tall as a marker of brotherhood, leadership, and community service. From Delhi to Chennai, Kolkata to Bengaluru, the Round Table Lapel Pin India movement is more than an accessory—it's a legacy of values worn with pride. At the heart of this creative and cultural journey is The Second Project, a brand that has become synonymous with premium lapel pin craftsmanship for Round Table India.

A Symbol with Purpose

Round Table Lapel Pin India is one of the country's most respected social service organizations, bringing together young professionals committed to nation-building and community development. For members, the lapel pin is not merely a fashion item. It represents personal achievement, belonging to a distinguished circle, and dedication to impactful change.

The lapel pin often bears the emblem of Round Table—its circular symmetry standing for equality and unity among members. Whether pinned to a blazer, jacket, or traditional kurta, it communicates a strong sense of identity and purpose. These pins mark occasions, roles, contributions, and are proudly worn during meetings, social events, and formal ceremonies.

Crafting Icons with The Second Project

When it comes to designing the Round Table Lapel Pin India, The Second Project brings unmatched creativity and attention to detail. Known for its high-quality metal craftsmanship and innovative concepts, the company has collaborated with several Round Table chapters across the country to create customized pins that match the spirit of each region and chapter.

Every pin is a result of thoughtful collaboration, where members can choose specific shapes, finishes, materials, and inscriptions. Whether you're looking for antique gold plating, matte black designs, or colorful enamel accents, The Second Project delivers styles that reflect heritage and modern elegance.

The company uses fine-grade materials like brass, stainless steel, and copper, and offers advanced techniques such as laser engraving, 3D molding, and soft enamel filling to bring each design to life. The result is a wearable piece of art that holds deep personal and organizational meaning.

Personal, Professional, and Proud

The demand for Round Table Lapel Pin India has grown not just among active members but also among 41ers, alumni, and supporters. Whether it’s for celebrating tenures, welcoming new members, or honoring specific service projects, these pins have become key memorabilia.

Across India, The Second Project’s lapel pins are known for their durability, finish, and symbolic appeal. Members appreciate how their custom designs capture their stories—be it their chapter name, region, year of service, or even meaningful quotes.

In cities like Mumbai and Hyderabad, members often prefer sleek and minimalist designs. In contrast, chapters in heritage-rich towns lean toward traditional motifs and classic finishes. The Second Project accommodates both ends of this spectrum, with designs that can be bold, elegant, or subtle—based on what the chapter desires.

More Than Just a Pin

The lapel pin also serves as a perfect gift and collector’s item. During annual Round Table India conferences, inter-chapter events, or charity drives, custom lapel pins are exchanged as tokens of goodwill and memory. The Second Project packages these pins in smart boxes, making them suitable for formal presentations and gifting.

In fact, many senior members collect these lapel pins over the years—each one telling a story of service, unity, and personal growth. Displayed on pin boards or in framed memorabilia, they form an evolving timeline of one’s journey with Round Table India.

Final Thoughts

Wearing the Round Table Lapel Pin India is a badge of pride—a sign of dedication to values that uplift society. In every corner of the country, this simple circle speaks volumes about leadership, friendship, and purpose.

With The Second Project leading the way in craftsmanship and custom design, each lapel pin becomes more than just metal—it becomes a cherished symbol of who you are and the legacy you build with every step.

Feeling Invisible Online in Mogappair? The Brand Drive Can Be Your SEO Superhero!

Let’s face it, in today’s digital world, if your Mogappair business isn’t visible online, it’s like having a hidden gem of a restaurant with no sign out front. People are searching for businesses like yours every day, but how do you make sure they find YOU? That’s where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) comes in!

Think of SEO as a magic trick that gets your website on the first page of search results, like skipping the long line and getting seated right away at a popular Mogappair eatery. But with so many SEO companies out there, how do you find the best SEO company in Mogappair for your business? Don’t worry, we (The Brand Drive) can help you navigate this!

Wait a minute, what exactly is SEO?

Imagine you’re craving some delicious South Indian filter coffee. You’d probably grab your phone and search online, right? Well, SEO is all about making sure your website shows up at the top of those search results when someone types in keywords related to your business. So, if you have a fantastic bakery known for melt-in-your-mouth cookies, you want your website to appear when people search for “Mogappair cookies” or “best bakery in Mogappair.” This way, more people discover your delicious treats, visit your website (or your bakery!), and potentially become loyal customers.

Why is SEO Crucial for Your Mogappair Business?

Let’s say you run a vibrant clothing store with unique hand-woven kurtas. With good SEO, whenever someone searches for “Mogappair traditional clothing” or “where to buy kurtas online,” your website pops up at the top. This means more people see your amazing collection, and you get more fashion-forward customers through your doors (or adding your stunning kurtas to their online shopping carts).

Finding the Mogappair SEO Company That’s Right for You

Now, onto the big question: how do you choose the perfect SEO partner for your Mogappair business? Here are some key things to keep in mind:

Mogappair Expertise Matters: Not all SEO companies are created equal. Look for one with a proven track record of success in your local market. After all, you wouldn’t want someone who specializes in Chennai SEO strategizing for your Mogappair business, would you?

Results Over Tactics: You want an SEO company that focuses on growing your website traffic and sales, not just technical jargon. Remember, it’s about getting more customers, not just fancy SEO terms.

Open Communication is Key: A good SEO company will keep you informed about their strategies and progress in plain English. You should feel comfortable asking questions and getting clear answers, no need for confusing SEO mumbo jumbo!

Long-Term Vision: The best SEO companies focus on building a sustainable strategy that keeps your website ranking high for years to come. They’re in it for the long haul, not just a quick SEO fix.

10 Must-Have Ethnic Ensembles for Festivals: A Chennai Girl's Guide

Festivals in Chennai are more than just celebrations; they're an expression of cultural vibrancy and traditional richness. As a Chennai girl, navigating the myriad of festivities requires not only enthusiasm but also impeccable ethnic fashion sense. From Pongal to Diwali, and from Navratri to Christmas, each festival brings with it a unique opportunity to flaunt the perfect ethnic ensemble. Here's a comprehensive guide to ten must-have ethnic outfits that will make you the epitome of elegance and grace at every festive occasion.

1. Saree Splendor:

No other attire exudes the timeless charm and grace of a saree. For Chennai's festivals, opt for vibrant silk sarees like Kanchipuram or Kanjivaram. These sarees are adorned with intricate motifs and rich borders, adding a touch of regality to your festive look. Pair them with traditional temple jewelry or antique gold pieces to complete the ensemble.

2. Lehenga Love:

For a contemporary twist to traditional attire, a lehenga choli is a perfect choice. Opt for bright hues and embellished fabrics that reflect the exuberance of Chennai's festivals. Experiment with different blouse styles like off-shoulder or crop tops to add a modern flair to your ensemble.

3. Anarkali Aura:

Anarkali suits are a timeless classic that never fails to make a statement. Choose floor-length Anarkalis with intricate embroidery or embellishments for a majestic look. Team them up with statement earrings and a sleek bun for a touch of elegance.

4. Salwar Suit Sophistication:

For a comfortable yet stylish festive look, opt for a salwar suit in vibrant colors and rich fabrics like silk or chiffon. Experiment with different silhouettes like straight-cut or A-line suits, and don't forget to accessorize with jhumkas and bangles for a traditional touch.

5. Palatial Palazzo Sets:

Palazzo sets have emerged as a popular choice for festive occasions. Pair printed or embellished palazzos with a matching kurta and dupatta for a chic and contemporary look. Complete the ensemble with statement necklaces and embellished footwear for added glam.

6. Regal Sharara Sets:

Sharara sets are making a comeback in the fashion scene, and for good reason. Opt for intricately embroidered shararas paired with short kurtis for a royal yet trendy look. Accessorize with maang tikka and jhumkas to channel your inner royalty.

7. Fusion Fervor with Indo-Western Gowns:

Indo-western gowns blend the best of both worlds - traditional elegance with contemporary flair. Choose gowns with Indian motifs or embroidery in luxurious fabrics like velvet or silk. Complete the look with statement rings and a clutch for a glamorous touch.

8. Dazzling Dhoti Pants:

Dhoti pants are not just for men; they make for stylish and comfortable festive attire for women too. Pair them with a crop top or a short kurta for a chic and modern look. Add a statement belt and oxidized jewelry to elevate the ensemble.

9. Chic Kurti and Skirt Combos:

For a fuss-free yet stylish festive look, opt for a kurti and skirt combo. Pair a vibrant printed or embroidered kurti with a contrasting skirt for a pop of color. Complete the look with kolhapuri sandals and silver jewelry for a bohemian vibe.

10. Contemporary Classics with Crop Top and Skirt Sets:

Crop top and skirt sets are a versatile choice for Chennai's festivals. Opt for matching sets with intricate embroidery or mirror work for a contemporary yet traditional look. Style them with statement earrings and a sleek bun to let the outfit take center stage.

In conclusion, mastering the art of ethnic fashion for Chennai's festivals is all about embracing tradition while adding your unique flair. With these ten must-have ensembles in your wardrobe, you'll be ready to dazzle at every festive occasion, leaving a lasting impression with your impeccable style.

Indian Sarees: Regional Varieties, Craftsmanship

Sarees possess a transformative quality, gracefully enhancing a woman's appearance by concealing any perceived flaws while accentuating her best features. Throughout history, Indian women have embraced sarees as a traditional attire, with the exception of Punjabi women who prefer salwar kurtas due to the colder climate. In Assam, the Mekhala Chadar, a variation of the saree split into two parts, is popular. Despite its cultural significance in India, the saree has not spread widely to other countries, except for Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, with historical ties between Sri Lanka and India dating back to the days of the Ramayana.

Regional Varieties of Sarees in India

Different regions in India specialize in unique saree varieties influenced by climate conditions. For instance, in extremely hot climates like West Bengal, cotton sarees are preferred, while regions like Tamil Nadu are renowned for silk sarees like the Chennai Kanjeevaram known for intricate zari work. Karnataka excels in silk, chiffon, and georgette sarees, while Madhya Pradesh and Coimbatore are famous for handloom cotton sarees. Andhra Pradesh produces exquisite sarees due to its consistent climate, with traditional cotton sarees like Gadhwal, Venkatgiri, and Pochampalli. Dharmavaram silk from Andhra Pradesh is highly esteemed for its superior quality.

Specialized Sarees from Different States

Each state in India showcases its unique saree craftsmanship based on climate and cultural influences. Rajasthan, known for its desert heat, produces vibrant block print, Laheria, and Muthara sarees, along with bandhani sarees. Gujarat and Rajasthan share expertise in Bandhani sarees due to similar climatic conditions. Uttar Pradesh is famous for Benarasi sarees, a staple in traditional weddings, crafted with intricate designs using bamboo tools. The artistry of Madhubani paintings, traditionally seen on walls and paper, has now extended to silk and cotton sarees, adding a colorful touch to traditional attire.

Madhubani Painted Sarees

Madhubani paintings on sarees feature elaborate designs on the pallavs and borders, often depicting themes like Radha-Krishna or Sita-Ram swayamvar. These paintings are typically done on tussar silk sarees, known for their thickness and glossiness, making them a popular choice for their affordability and availability. Care must be taken while ironing these sarees to avoid damaging the intricate artwork. Incorporating a Madhubani painted saree into your collection adds a vibrant and artistic flair to your wardrobe, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of India.

Is VIP Darshan Worth It? A Devotee's Perspective

Tirupati Balaji Temple is one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations in India. Every day, thousands of devotees flock to the temple, each with a deep spiritual connection and a desire to seek Lord Venkateswara’s blessings. With such a massive influx, waiting times for the regular Darshan can often stretch for hours. This is where VIP Darshan comes into play—but is it really worth it? Let’s explore this from a devotee’s perspective.

What is VIP Darshan?

VIP Darshan, also referred to as Special Entry Darshan, is a privilege offered to devotees that allows faster access to the sanctum sanctorum. With limited tickets available, this option ensures a shorter waiting time, personalized guidance by temple staff, and a smoother Darshan experience.

The most popular type of VIP Darshan is the ₹300 Special Entry Ticket, which can be booked online via the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) website or through trusted providers like Tirupati Balaji Package.

Advantages of VIP Darshan

Reduced Waiting Time

Regular queues can often take 6–10 hours, especially during weekends and festive seasons. VIP Darshan significantly cuts down the wait time, allowing devotees to focus more on their spiritual journey.

Convenience for Families and Elderly

For families with young children or elderly devotees, the VIP Darshan option offers a hassle-free experience. The reduced physical strain makes it especially appealing.

Access to Special Rituals

VIP ticket holders sometimes get the opportunity to witness special rituals or Break Darshan, which are otherwise inaccessible to regular devotees.

Time Efficiency

For those traveling from distant cities like Bangalore or Chennai on tight schedules, VIP Darshan ensures that they can complete their pilgrimage within a day. Several packages from Tirupati Balaji Package are designed to cater to such needs.

Is It Worth the Price?

The ₹300 Special Entry Darshan ticket is reasonably priced, considering the convenience it offers. However, for those opting for other types of VIP access through donations or recommendations, the cost can be higher. Devotees often debate whether this expense aligns with the spiritual essence of the pilgrimage.

From a devotee's perspective, the value of VIP Darshan lies in its ability to provide:

More time for prayers without the exhaustion of standing in long queues.

A stress-free experience, especially for those traveling with specific time constraints or physical challenges.

Things to Keep in Mind

Follow the Dress Code

Traditional attire is mandatory for VIP Darshan. Men must wear dhotis and shirts or kurtas, while women should opt for sarees, salwar suits, or half sarees.

Plan Ahead

VIP tickets are limited and sell out quickly, especially during weekends and festival days. Booking in advance through trusted platforms like Tirupati Balaji Package is highly recommended.

Respect Temple Etiquette

Remember that VIP Darshan is not just about convenience; it’s an opportunity for a peaceful spiritual experience. Maintain decorum and show respect to the temple staff and fellow devotees.

A Personal Perspective

As a devotee, the choice of VIP Darshan often depends on individual circumstances. While some feel that the extended wait in regular queues adds to the spiritual experience, others believe that VIP Darshan allows them to focus on their prayers without distractions.

For me, the convenience and peace of mind offered by VIP Darshan were invaluable. Booking through Tirupati Balaji Package ensured a seamless experience, from travel to Darshan, making my pilgrimage truly memorable.

Final Verdict

Is VIP Darshan worth it? The answer is subjective and varies for each devotee. If you’re short on time, traveling with family, or simply seeking a stress-free Darshan, VIP Darshan is undoubtedly worth every penny. However, for those who value the traditional pilgrimage journey and don’t mind long waits, the regular queue remains a heartfelt option.
