For my video on Hon’ble President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji, I came across this photograph from 2023.

Smt. Mamata Banerjee aka Didi looks genuinely warm and welcoming here.

It appears she may have presented a Jamdani uttariya, a gesture that beautifully reflects Bengal’s rich textile heritage. #jamdani

Moments like these make you pause and reflect on how public interactions evolve over time.

Wonder what happened to her lately, is it because she stopped taking Carbs?

On a lighter note, while the world is busy championing protein, I’ve realized I’m far less pleasant without my share of carbs, fats, and the occasional sweet some things are just essential for balance :)

Politics is often seen as a man’s world, which makes it all the more meaningful to witness two powerful women sharing such a moment of grace and warmth.

Kangana Ranaut's Kangana Ranaut saree :- Ghicha silk with Bandha/Ikkat

Ghicha is a type of spun silk, an indigenous Indian technique of turning discontinuous,damaged,discarded Silk cocoons and material into magic!

Wild-spun silk has long been India’s indigenous, non-violent “Ahimsa” form of silk production practiced even before organized sericulture began.

While everyone is celebrating a "Saree over Lehenga anyday" this is not a saree!! It looks more like a Mekhela Sador i.e. 2 pieces instead of a continuous 5.5/6mtr fabric OR an interpretation of the half saree
