Dance your dance like no one else - An attempt at visual poetry

What we have seen, and continue to see in weddings inspired this attempt

Our collaborative creative process is such that there is no specific starting point, especially because we don't know what form things will take. Last evening, after finally being home together after months on the road with time and freedom for our creative energies to play, it has taken a form of visual poetry inspired by photographs of moments we have shot across weddings

As Ekta came to me with a curated bunch of visuals, I started writing. And things started coming together such that every line of the poem corresponded to the visual accompanying it, and it built over time. So that is how you read it. One line, with a visual, and then the next line with the next visual.

Mehandi & Shivam's destination Indian wedding at The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur

Mehandi & Shivam are opposites in so many ways, and yet so similar in some.

Mehandi can light up any room she is in, spreading so much love around, it is unbelievable. On the other hand, you will find Shivam in the same room, in the middle of his closest friends, trying to stay out of the spotlight.

And then Mehandi will find him and pull him onto the dance floor, and you will see what love is.
