My Christmas this year is milk for Ava and cookies for me.. 🎄 Breast feeding is not an easy task, in fact I find it mentally and physically exhausting. 😮💨 But, the bond you’re forming is absolutely beautiful and truly worth it… 💖 People give you lots of advice what you should and shouldn’t do, but reality is: Do whatever works best for you and your baby. 👼🏻 xx
My heart 👼🏻💖
Oh the bliss of motherhood.. 🥰 aka the five minutes in between complete chaos! 😮💨😅👼🏻
The most important role of my life… 🥰👼🏻 #mommy to @avabhindi

Christmas in Australia means sun kissed skin and backyard bbqs! 🎄 What’s your Christmas like this year? Hot or cold? ⛄️
Many moons ago (who keeps count in a pandemic) I discovered that my creativity has many outlets and one of them is gardening. Watching the planted seeds come alive and bear flowers and fruits is so satisfying! 🌻👩🏻🌾 What have you discovered about yourself during the pandemic?
🥳 Little Ava is 4 weeks old! 🎊 And already out-achieved all goals! Even went from size 5×0 to 4×0! 🥰👼🏻 We are so in love with her! 😍 Even when she screams for boobies at the top of her lungs (with this training she might become a singer one day). Ahh the bliss of #parenthood 😮💨😅 who would have thought the human can survive without sleep for four weeks, and a lifetime to go. 💖
There’s so much to learn from the Australian native flora. Especially how it constantly resurrects itself in the hardest conditions. 🔥🌿
Today’s inspiration for the garden… ✨ Magical fairy lights. Christmas is just around the corner and this year more than ever do I want to decorate our home to look festive and magical for our little daughter Ava’s first holidays… 💖👼🏻🎄 What’s your favourite holiday decor item? COMMENT here ⬇️
💖 my two angels. 👼🏻🐶
A book I could read to my daughter daily 💖 May she always know the spiritual wardrobe she was born with is so much more precious than the fancy clothes she could one day buy… 👼🏻

For men and women in India, society and popular culture promote unrealistic beauty standards when it comes to skin colour, weight and body hair. Whether you’re famous or not, body shaming is a reality for many of us and social media doesn’t make it easier. It is estimated that Indians spend about 80,000 crore rupees on beauty each year. We also rank as having the fifth-highest number of plastic surgeries in the world. The beauty, weight loss and skin-lightening industries in India are burgeoning but at what cost? 🧐
On this week’s episode of #LoveMatters on #BodyPositivity, we hear from yoga instructor #natashanoel on her journey towards cultivating a healthy body image amidst the noise of beauty standards. 🤩

@sreemoyeekundu and tell us if you love being single or are looking for a partner in the COMMENTS here! 💖
India is seeing a rise in unapologetically, happily single women. More than ever, they’re choosing to prioritize a “relationship with themselves” and are eschewing being financially and emotionally dependent on a boyfriend or husband.
In this new episode of #LoveMatters, we hear from a listener dealing with societal pressure to settle down while trying to honour a relationship with herself first. And who best to talk us through the stereotypes, struggles, triumphs, and celebrations that come with choosing to be a single woman in India than #sreemoyeekundu? Sreemoyee is the best-selling author of Status Single: The Truth about Being a Single Woman in India, a columnist, & founder of the community Status Single. She breaks down the myth that being alone means being lonely.

What do you think about inter-religious relationships? 🤓
This week on #LoveMatters I chat with a very inspiring couple: Actor Shruti Seth @shru2kill and director Danish Aslam @dontpanic79 💖 about their interfaith marriage! LINK IN BIO!
Backed by popular demand, in the season finale of #LoveMatters we dive back into the topic of interfaith relationships in India. In a country where the personal is often political especially in the realm of marriage and religion, I chat with the beautiful Bollywood couple, actor Shruti Seth @shru2kill and director Danish Aslam @dontpanic79 about their interfaith love story, navigating scrutiny on social media & how children give us hope. Our listeners on the episode today, are a young musician couple who married outside their faith and are negotiating judgement, fear and stereotypes in their personal and public lives.
Also, check out episode five of the show with @niloufervenk of the @indialoveproject, where we started the conversation about interfaith love in India.
Thank you to all our listeners and guests for joining me and sharing their incredible experiences and stories on #LoveMatters season one. I would love to hear your feedback on the episodes [email protected]. It would be great if you could rate the podcast on your listening platform.

Great chatting to disability rights activist, the wonderful @viralimodi_ 💖 on #LoveMatters this week’s episode! LINK IN BIO!
Ahead of the International Day of Disabled Persons on December 3, we’re talking love, dating and disability on the latest episode of #LoveMatters.
I speak to disability rights activist @viralimodi_, on her experiences of navigating the world of dating, relationships, and sexuality as a person with a disability. We also hear from our listener Shagunn, who, like her peers, wants to date and meet people but finds herself being labelled as desperate because she has a disability. In this episode, Virali hits back at the stereotypes of disabled people as asexual, dependent and needy, as well as the lack of accessibility in public spaces. For Virali’s the most important thing for anyone is to be unapologetically yourself and show up to make a difference!
