To paraphrase Elizabeth Stone,
“To have a child is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
These words perfectly exemplify Vaibhav & my feelings right now. Our heartbeat, our son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi was born on May 14th. Having arrived early, our little miracle has since then been cared for by tireless nurses and doctors in the Neonatal ICU.
A sudden appendectomy during my pregnancy and a subsequent and very severe bacterial infection could have led to sepsis and proven to be life threatening. Thankfully, the timely care and intervention by our doctor ensured the safe birth of our baby via an emergency C-section.
As we watch this tiny being, this Zen master in awe and wonder, we learn from him, in all humility, the true meaning of trusting the universe and of parenthood. And to not be afraid, and so we humbly take the lead from his resilience and courage. We do not have enough words to thank all those who continue to help us live this story of hope and faith and create a safe, healing, nurturing space for Avyaan and I. He will be home soon and his elder sister Samaira and grand parents are waiting to hold him in their arms.
To our well-wishers and fans, I just want to say – your concern has always meant a lot to me and if it was possible to share this news before, we would have. Thank you all for all the love, light, faith and prayers. We extend them back to everyone who is struggling to hold on to hope right now or is praying for a loved one.
We see you, we hear you and together, we will get past this time 💖🙏🏻💖
~Dia & Vaibhav India
Throwback to one of the most memorable and magical times we shared together 🐬

There is no one like her. Absolutely no one. What an extraordinary woman. An artist par excellence. Those eyes and that smile 🤩 Her craft will inspire generations of performers. Was lucky to have the chance to witness her magic in person…
Watch her recite “Mujhse Pehli Si Muhabbat” today 💛
“Aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein muhabbat ke siva
Raahatein aur bhi hain wasl ki raahat ke siva
Mujh se pehli si muhabbat
Mere mehboob na maang” – Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Rest in Glory Surekha Sikri 🙏🏻✨ India
My Hero.
My Angel.

It’s important that we check in on ourselves during such times. This poem is a reminder to ask yourself, ‘How are you?’

“Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Doesn’t this look like Nebula?
Witnessing sunsets is something we love. The hues in the sky, the shapes and movements of the clouds, the play of light and how quickly and magnificently everything transforms… it’s all a reminder of how magical every present moment is 🦄🦋🌅

Climate change is real. And the effects of #ClimateChange are impacting us all. Together we can and must take action. I am so proud of my school friend Radhika for making Solar power accessible to us. We can make a difference by choosing solar to power our homes. @freyr_energy is making it easier for people to go solar, paving the way for a brighter future 🌏💙🌳☀️

In this Pandemic, our lifelines – our cook, our security guards, cleaning staff and many more need our support the most. They make our lives comfortable daily, but how do we make sure they are safe?
While we get ourselves vaccinated, they may face certain challenges with the vaccination process and it is now our duty to help them get vaccinated.
Because no one is safe until everyone is safe!
