mini bindra rubaaiyat -ekhayyam
Designer Mini Bindra’s luxurious collection titled Rubaaiyat-eKhayyam is an ode to famous poet Omar Khayyam’s Rubaaiyat, which is a collection of short poems on love. Hence, the couture line too is an amalgamation of short sub-collections of beautiful fabrics fused with her modern design sensibilities. She presents a contemporary take on traditional silhouettes with fitted bodices paired with voluminous gharara pants as well as draped dhoti ensembles, enhanced with Persian motifs beautifully ornamented with pearls throughout the collection. The intricate embroideries highlight the palette in muted shades of cream, beige, black and gold with the occasional use of Persian red.

On my Mehndi/Rukhsati i wore a Sania Maskatiya coral peshwaaz. I didnt want to do the typical red and since it was mehndi/rukhsati combined i thought of going for a bright colour. I chose Sania Maskatiya because out of all the desigers i went to, she took my order on a very short notice and was very humble and understanding about it and also because i personally love her designs. Any event, i know i can go to Sania and her team will sort me out.

A temporary setback can seem like it’s insurmountable on Monday, but once you understand that it’s a learning curve — and one you can leap over if you put your considerable energy to it — things clear up by Thursday. The nice thing about getting this lesson out of the way now is that you’ll see a dozen different ways to make this knowledge work to make your life easier, especially on Friday. Just beware of information overload over this weekend. More isn’t necessarily better when it comes to getting the 411.
Just when you think you know someone or have a certain area of expertise, something happens that shows you the opposite may, in fact, be true. On Monday and Tuesday, be surprised by nothing. The more you realize that you can only know the partial truth of any one person, place or thing is what, curiously enough, begins to give you real wisdom. Friday, Saturday and Sunday are filled with communication, and some of it from unusual or intuitive channels. Simply listen without judging, then take what works for you.
It’s normal to want praise, especially on Monday. After all, every human being needs acknowledgment that their work is well done. But on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you realize that your acknowledgment of your wonderful efforts is what counts the most. Don’t forget to praise and reward yourself for everything that you do and that you do it so well. Friday and the weekend are flirty, fabulous and fun. Dress up a little no matter what the day’s tasks entail. Running chores can be much more glamorous that way.
Persistence is a virtue, but on Monday and Tuesday, you might actually be better off realizing when something’s a dead end. That way, you end up on a route that’s quicker and more interesting. Wednesday and Thursday are great times, however, to put your shoulder to the wear and persevere no matter what. If there’s too much information coming your way on Friday, then say so. This weekend, pick and choose your words with care. If you’re not sure exactly what to say, then say nothing or ask for more time before you reply.

Boldness is a virtue, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Say what you mean and mean what you say — you’ll find it all deeply liberating. By midweek, you realize that discretion is very much the better part of valor. When you’re not sure what course to take, doing nothing is more productive than recklessly plunging into action. Be creative about the ways you communicate on Friday and the weekend, especially when it comes to your feelings. A touch of humor — but not too much, or you’ll come off as defensive — works wonders.
Asking yourself what makes your life simpler right now really gets to the heart of the matter on Monday. On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday you realize that ‘simple’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘easy,’ and that it may, in fact, mean making a tougher choice in order for a better payoff down the road. With your newfound insight, that makes it easier to deal with. Your composure makes you an example to someone unexpected over the weekend. If they ask you for advice, be honest without being preachy. They’ll appreciate what you have to offer.
It’s easier to play it safe than be sorry — or at least that’s the way it seems to you on Monday and Tuesday. However, you might actually be making your life harder than it needs to be in the long run. On Wednesday and Thursday, embrace the concept of short-term pain in order to make some big long-term gains and you might see that those pains are brief and not really painful at all. Friday and the weekend are a good time to talk it out with family and friends, or with yourself and your journal, if that’s more helpful to you.
You can be blind to your own best qualities, especially on the first two days of this week. That’s true of anyone you know, actually — it’s hard to see the best in yourself. View your personality as if you were your dearest friend. Surprised at how much there is to like? You shouldn’t be. Thursday and Friday, speak your mind, but add a little extra helping of charm. Your audience will get the message, and they’ll appreciate that special way you have of putting things, too. The weekend is relaxed, mellow and loving — a great time for family.

The impulse to change or somehow improve oneself is part of the human condition, and you’re likely to feel that need this week, especially on Monday and Tuesday. Remind yourself that in order to change, first you need to really see who you are. That’s not always an easy task. If you succeed, you’ll find that change happens naturally in an evolutionary way, not because you force the issue. Friday and Saturday are great times to talk about all that you’ve been going through. Sunday, concentrate on being with your family.
Your physical environment has a great deal of impact on your mental and spiritual health. Is your home chaotic and disordered? No wonder you’re not feeling at the peak of your abilities. Use the first half of the week to treat yourself well: Tidy your room, wash dishes regularly and cook healthy, delicious meals. By Friday, you’ll be ready for a mental challenge whether it comes in the form of a lighthearted, flirtatious debate or deciphering the instructions for a lovely but puzzling piece of kitchenware. This weekend, tell your family how much you care about them.
Instead of automatically saying no, why not take a chance on Monday and Tuesday? That means being open to the possibility of failure, but it also means being open to success. If it doesn’t work, that’s simply a sign on the highway of life directing you to your actual destination. Thursday and Friday are simply teeming with opportunities. If you’re not quite sure what you want to say yes to, take a deep breath and say so. Use the weekend to contemplate your next mood. A journal and a quiet spot can be useful to sort out your thoughts.
On Monday and Tuesday, find ways to encourage yourself in a positive, consistent way instead of operating on a punishment/reward system. Believing in yourself leads the way and shows others they can believe in you, too. The middle of the week is a great time to slow down and think about ways to build on all the ground you’ve gained. On Friday, talk it out with yourself before you engage in a discussion with someone else — you’re a whiz at communication, but you have to edit the information to make sure it’s truly effective. Slow down so you can enjoy the weekend.
