Submission 11 . . Theme: Navarathri - unfortunately, I didn’t create this in time yesterday but I am happy to share it today, on the last day of Navarathri. Sorry the rest of this ended up being longer than I had planned(see below). Essentially I just wanted to say you are divine as you are and your superpower is just being you. ⭐️💕 . . For those of you who don’t know, Navarathri is the celebration of 9 goddesses, all avatars of the eternal mother. It celebrates the power of self-realization over ego. The story below is as I was told it and I am sure there are may other versions. . . It is said that there once was a demon who was so powerful, that the Gods could not defeat him. They came to Shiva and asked him to defeat the demon. Shiva replied “I cannot but Druga can.” The Gods could not believe it, for Druga was the embodiment of the mother. She was gentle and sweet, she was Amman. Shiva asked her, and in the form of Kali defeated the demon. She returned light and self knowledge To the world. (I never fear Kali because of this story and I will tell you more about her later). . . . These nine days we celebrated these goddesses who bless us with power (Druga); Wealth (Lakshmi); and Education (Saraswati), I wanted to remind everyone that we carry them in us always. So whatever fears we have, always remember that they dwell in us. And if you were blessed enough to share your gifts (writing, art, music), don’t doubt the joy you bring to others by just sharing it :) . . . 📸: unknown . . . #scotialovesbooks #140characters #140characterchallenge #140characterstory #navaratri #navaratri #tamil #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram

#ScotiaLovesBooks Submission 9 . . Theme: Brown Skin - My hardest topic to date, I don’t know if I did it justice. Maybe since there is so much to say, I could not figure out what I wanted to say. This is version 1001… Fashion, culture, race, appropriations, they all intersect and growing up looking at the role of the sari in it, just seemed like a fitting piece on brown skin. . .

#ScotiaLovesBooks Submission 8 . . Theme: Sisterhood - A bit of wishing in this one. I am always grateful to the many women in my life who have showed me what being strong and resilient means. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them and here’s my ode to the powerful and beautiful women! . . PC: Pixabay (if anyone knows the artist, please let me know.

#ScotiaLovesBooks Submission 6 . . Theme: Autumn — The theme was a bit harder this time for me. Maybe cause fall can be so many things. It is about transformations, rest, healing, death, re-birth, and the colours! Oh man, the colours. I heard poets like to get married in the fall. I think I know why :) . . .
