### My story

Food’s never just food for us. It’s a whiff of summer at Nani’s, Alphonso mangoes, kairi, kitchen songs. We chase that feeling in every project. Even when we travel, like that Ratnagiri trip, eating Bhakri and Thecha by the chulha, real Maharashtrian style. Those honest moments shape how we style – not what’s trendy, but what feels true. That’s the heart behind our setups.
