TWO-BROWNGIRLS

#MIDWEEKINSPO:

It’s been a bit all over the place this week as I was just recovering from my cousin’s wedding in London and trying to settle back home in getting some work done!

But there are a few things that I’ve come across to keep me grounded and inspired… here they are:

1. I absolutely love this photo shoot with Kiran Rao for the latest issue of Elle India! The shots capture her chic style perfectly and she effortlessly breaks the stereotypical women that we see in the Bollywood industry. I haven’t had a chance to read the full interview but from this preview it sounds like she’s a hard-working, passionate woman. 

2. One train journey down to London I was meant to be working on an article but instead I ended up watching Salaam Bombay on my laptop. I remember meaning to watch the film after I got hooked on Mira Nair’s films (hello, Mississippi Masala!?) and finally got round to it. It really hit me! What a film is all I can say. I super-recommend it to anyone - let me just say it poops all over Slumdog Millionaire. 

3. Last but certainly not least I loved this short video feature on incredible Bharatanatyam artist Seeta Patel. Seeta was born, brought up and trained in the UK and she has gone from strength to strength with intense passion and dedication. Catch her on the 25th September at London’s Sadler’s Wells - the Friday show has already sold out!
