Lisa Ray Instagram – These artful vignettes arrived in Singapore. When I first saw @rajovilla work on a commissioned cover for @bazaarindia they resonated deep in some secret place. When I looked up Joya’s work online, I understood we share parallel experiences of growing up bi-racial with strong emotional and aesthetic ties to our Bangla lineage. Anyone who has read @closetothebone.book understands how my childhood memories of summer vacations in our ancestral home in North Kolkata and another in Serampore have flavoured my life: in @rajovilla I find a visual vocabulary to express that affection and nostalgia. Look up Joya’s art and be carried away. | Posted on 11/Jul/2020 14:52:24

![Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @archdigestindia using @RepostRegramApp – The most unexpected thing about manic megalopolises high on sound and activity are the things that stay hidden behind their frenetic, bombastic facades. The things that reveal themselves to those who look long enough, and hard enough. Like the mangrove park in Mumbai which becomes a carpet of pink during the annual pilgrimage of pink flamingos. Like suddenly coming upon a by-lane in a cul-de-sac covered in a canopy of trees. Like Lisa Ray’s (@lisaraniray) quiet apartment in the bubbling over suburb of Bandra. “I walked in and I just knew. It was the large, covered outdoor space that drew me which is a bit of a find in Bandra, as well as the privacy and the building,” says the polymath about the apartment she bought some years ago. The connection was instant and over a “sleepless month—I was in Canada at the time”—the deal was done.

“I wanted a lived-in feeling for the flat, like it was an ancestral home that had been passed on,” she says. Her search for an interior architect ended in Goa, completely by luck, when she forged an aesthetic, almost cosmic, connection with the future interior architect of her Mumbai home—the celebrated author Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi (@thepostcarder).“A close friend brought me to Sid’s home [in Goa] for dinner and as soon as I walked in, I literally gasped, grabbed his hand and asked him to design my home.” Shanghvi’s visual language had an almost instinctive understanding of what Ray wanted. “I feel Sid and I share one aesthetic soul. Let me reframe that: his aesthetics have nurtured mine. I think sometimes of a story of two scaffoldings that, when they are removed, reveal the same space. The scaffolding was in my mind and Sid manifested it.” Explore the home in detail. #linkinbio
