But when I read her recent posts about how she believes in enjoying simple pleasures in life, I couldn’t stop myself from requesting that she write an article for us!

Bithika Gupta: Born in Mumbai but growing up in North Delhi, I am really happy with the fairly new trend of Ganesh Chaturthi being celebrated in Delhi in a bigger way. Love meeting my best friend, Gannu, in different looks at my friends homes. During one darshan I decided to drape my mum’s saree in a Navari inspired style. Totally enjoyed it… we experiment a lot with western attires – so let’s do that to the saree as well.
Heena Dureja: After gaining weight during pregnancy, I lost a lot of my confidence too and haven’t been able to get back in shape as much as I tried! It’s like a circle for me. But bringing Ganpati home was such a calming experience. I took out some sarees and dressed up for my Gannu ji and felt somewhat at peace with my body!
