Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @mediumbyriddhijain using @RepostRegramApp – In the early 90’s the Rani was on one of her annual vacations to India when she was ‘spotted’ and shot for a Bombay Dyeing campaign. She was suddenly the new girl everybody wanted to work with. It was the beginning of a very simple ideology: That life was for her. Not against her. And this soon turned into a prayer that acted like a lasso to pull the things that she wanted toward her. And whenever the road got a little bumpy, she’d hear the whispers from corners of her mind she’d painted yellow: “Keep going. You’re doing great Lisa Rani.” Prayers have a very tangible, touchable form – Love. To love, therefore, in a way is to offer tribute.
The way the Sari is draped, is a method of worship on it’s own. The gentle folds, the reassuring tucks, the encouraging pleats all streamline towards the offering of tribute to one’s body. And as the fabric kisses skin, it whispers to it “Keep going, you’re doing great…”.
