This is stunning, Deepika! It took me back to my childhood days but also encouraged me as a mother, to keep up with my own weekend ritual of self-care and connect with my kids :)
It takes so much na- both time-wise and to quiet the guilty voices in the head that beckon to do everything else first! Thank you, Sanobar. I hope the rituals nourish and sustain you and the kids.
Loved your piece, Deepika! congratulations🎉I loved all your sensual details.
It took me back to my time in an Ayurvedic Center in India when I had a full body abhyanga massage with delicious herbal concoctions and 4 massage therapists, 8 hands. I’m still writing that piece for my memoir :)
So beautiful, incredibly transporting - I was in so many moments with you, and they were all calm, scented and filled with love. Thank you for this piece :)
Congratulations Deepika! And thank you for transporting us to the most comforting place of all! This got me remembering all my mothers and grandmothers, and their labour of love ❤️
Thank you, Karthik. All the invisible work of women and such little room for leisure in these stories. I'm so happy to hear it reminded you of places of comfort with the women in your life.
You have a gift for describing the small moments. The ones that escape notice but mean so much. You have given besan-coconut oil-rosewater and coconut oil-curry leaves the respect they deserve! I have come back to this a couple of times since I read it first. 💖💖💖
What a gorgeous piece, Deepika! It played in front of my eyes; you transported us through and through! Loved how you brought out the essence of the Sunday afternoon ritual here :)

My daughter loves the head massage I give her, Deepika and i love that! It's so comforting (for me as well!)
