tENA durrani gayatri the sonnet Tena Durrani’s new digital print line features rich vibrant prints in flattering and classic silhouettes. Aptly named ‘The Gayatri Sonnet,’ the collection pays homage to the fashion icon Gayatri Devi, a modern woman ahead of her time. The line intends to personify her understated glamour, drawing on Mughal architecture and jewel tones. It encapsulates the grandeur and romance of the Mughal Raj with a contemporary twist.

All you will be able to think about at the beginning of the week is your financial situation -- how much cash do you have on hand, how much stuff you have around the house that could be easily liquidated -- but you really don't have to get so drastic about it.

Just stay the course and don't spend much money this week and you should be fine. Perseverance is a major theme for you right now, and it is an important thing to keep in mind when it comes to your family, too (even when things get tense and emotional, as they might this weekend).

On Monday you wake up with a lot of energy -- at last! Now get out into the world! Meet strangers and make plans and look fabulous! No one is more ready for romance than you are.

Unfortunately, on Thursday, you're going to have no time to think about your love life, what with all the stuff you have going on at work. But this weekend, you'll go to a party with some friends (and if you don't have a party to go to this weekend, start looking for one now) and you'll have an unbelievably good time. Plus, you might meet someone.

Last week was last week. This week's totally different. Suddenly you feel like you're in a kind of magical maze, full of strange obstacles and weird messages along the way. Stick to your intuition and pay no heed to anything that tries to convince you to steer off the main path. By midweek, you'll have found the doorway out into the real world again, and you'll be so relieved to be back in familiar territory. Toward the end of the week, you're going to spend a lot of time chatting with friends and you're going to start thinking hard about future plans.

Someone you know is in the mood to throw a dinner party, but they're just a little shy about initiating it on Monday. Tell them that you'll be in charge of the guest list. You like to bring people together and it's one of the many things you're quite good at.

Sure, it's kind of crazy to throw a little get-together at the last minute, but this whole week is going to be about spontaneity. More and more you find yourself breaking out of the shell that has been holding you back lately, and the new you feels so good. This weekend, be assertive. Go after what you want.

It's Monday and your career is top of the list. Lately you've been having trouble with the boss, but by midweek you find a way to deal with the situation. In any case, it's just work, and it will all blow over soon enough. And even though your week will start off haltingly, the second half of the week will more than make up for the first. Thursday and Friday you'll be surrounded by friends, and the weekend will be relaxing and warm.

Travel has been on the back of your mind lately, but suddenly it's all you can think about on Monday. The idea of going somewhere faraway is intensely appealing, and it would be good for you in ways you couldn't possibly realize.

Even if you don't have the resources to plan a major trip right now, plan a minor one, possibly for midweek or week's end. Plan a trip to another town nearby for dinner. Be inventive. This week is all about meeting new people and doing new things. The more of that kind of stuff you do, the better, especially over the weekend. People love having you around.

The world is a beautiful place, especially at the week's outset. Nature has a way of putting its best foot forward. There's just something in the air, some signal from the physical world that you should pay attention to all the life that's going on around you, especially midweek. In general, you will sail through your days in a kind of magic cloud of energy. It'll be fun but when the weekend rolls around, you'll feel a little limp from all that high feeling. Take a day or two at home to rest and recharge.

The important thing in any relationship -- romantic or otherwise -is to remain open-minded, especially on Monday. It's crucial to remember that you're both in this together, and that for it to work out you both need to be getting something out of it. And that, of course, requires compromise.

(You know all this. But sometimes revisiting the basics can be helpful.)

Midweek, someone is going to try to get you to agree to a business deal that just seems shaky -- and it is -- and over the weekend you're going to be so relieved you didn't go for it. A lot of good stuff is coming your way.

It's funny when you randomly start thinking about your relatives for no particular reason. Your family life is certainly interesting, and there is a lot to learn from what your parents and your parents' parents have been through, especially at the start of the week. The more you discover about them, the more you find you have in common with them -- even with those relatives you never met. But expect all that to slip your mind instantly later in the week: A sizzling affair on Thursday or Friday completely rocks your world. You'll have to take the weekend to figure out what this new development means.

On Monday or Tuesday, you may want to cancel whatever dinner plans you have, stay at home and make something for yourself. It may sound like a small thing, but that kind of attention to yourself and your house is crucial during times like these. Toward midweek, expect the pressures at work or in the family -- whatever it is that currently has you tearing your hair out -- to achieve a kind of frenzied pitch. It's going to be exhausting, but you will survive it like a champ.

This weekend, blissfully, you'll be completely distracted by romance.

Monday is all about the small things.

In fact, the next couple days are going to be all about the small things. As you well know, sometimes it's the little stuff that matters most in the end. You have your eye on the big picture, and you know every step it's going to take to get there. By week's end, though, everyone else around you wants to stand around and talk about their ideas.

That's perfectly valid, but it's also a tad frustrating. If you find yourself the solo sailor of the ship over the weekend, don't let it get you down. People are standing by to help you.

The intersection between fun and romance is a great place to be on Monday.

You always knew you wanted to fall for someone who knew how to have a good time, but you never knew exactly how good it would feel. Let this special person know just what you're thinking by midweek.

Communication is a central theme especially toward the end of the week. For too long you've bitten your tongue around a certain flighty friend, and you just don't have time for that any more. Thankfully, over the weekend you'll find yourself surrounded by people who really know how to connect with others.
