It’s been a tough few weeks since Lakshmi Puja — dealing with severe pericoronitis, a surgery in between, and missing out on a few beautiful opportunities. Mentally and physically, it’s been draining. But as Kali Puja arrives, there’s this unexplainable energy in the air — something I’ve felt since childhood. ✨ To lift my spirits, I turned to painting — something that always brings me peace. In every stroke, I can feel Ma’s power and warmth, as if she’s saying, “Let go, it’s okay… rise again.” �
