ashwini + new york city, NY: walking rain-wet and crowded sidewalks in patent leather heels. dark claw-clipped hair. the smell of smoke, coffee, and wet leaves. the constant sound of movement. frenetic energy wherever you look.

mrigashira + venice, ITL: emerald waters and terracotta skylines. birthplace of masquerades and deadly intrigue. gossip and vanilla gelato in the slow hot summers. winter floods and spiced wine. moonlit slow dancing and sweet nothings. a city slowly sinking, taking all of its secrets down with it.

bharani + las vegas, NV: sequins and feather boas. hotel hallways and flashing lights. crystal chandeliers and kismet. an oasis in the desert. city of life and death. because what happens in vegas stays in vegas.

rohini + bordeaux, FR: light-dappled skin and silk sheets. wine tastings and vineyard weddings. cotton, linen, and lace. abundance through generational perseverance. old houses with even older traditions. names lost to time carved into tree bark. the scent of sun-dried laundry and green growing things.

krittika + st. moritz, CH: clean air and wind like a knife. designer ski suits and champagne. freshly-fallen snow glittering under the sun. roaring bonfires under the stars. healing and highland hospitality.

ardra + bangkok, TH: stone temples and glass skyscrapers. floating markets and rooftop cafes. lush water lilies, nourished by monsoon waters. typhoons, terrifying to behold, bringing both destruction and renewal. dew-glittering and fog-veiled mornings, evenings neon-bright and heady.
