[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

Creation is when the mind is not thinking. Woman is a palace of kaleidoscopic contradictions. The diadem diary of a lady. A pretty machine and kerosene. Follow the untamed path of Inception niche designer compounds with a sheen. A contortionist of clarity. Clarins 04 rougue violet ink dipped in peppermint oil. Le désir du risque asymétrique. Blood orange crescent moons lick my tongue clean in a slight domestic violence rarity. Have you been to aquamarine Martinique? Love is a sea where intellect has no key. Pure cooling rainfall overcast Balkan cornflower blue sapphire dreams. Navratna celestial deities are wherein specific gemstones are connected with the nine planets of the cosmos. Creating demigods by seeing another’s internal beauty. A history of hand beaded raw silk dupioni. A land of exotic améthýste poppy fleurs. Huille de jasmine. Vinifié, élevé et mis en bouteille par Pierre Beauger, vigneron à Montaigut-le-Blanc. A selfless kiss hands on neck inside an old world jazz collection, expect many twists. Vulnerable feelings of real tears intended on a lipstick confession. Cool, subtle, smooth. Vanquishing the jāalī screen was the most vile sacred offense. Tom Collins meeting cucumber smashed martinis a la piscine that could ruin a city. Burning stacked records of George Michael’s I’m never going to dance again. Ṣadaf in the private ballerina box teahouse. Embellished inlaid black diamond and dry polished soft pink marble paraphernalia traversing the surface of morality and decency.

Unforeseen promises do come true. Miracles in the ether virgine consciousness. A half enigmatic smile displaying disdain for brutal honesty. Deep multigenerationally secretive research on bloodline in the vault of vetiver whispering à mon sang royal. Girls daintily stringing gardenia reflected in the crystal clear amrit fountain. Popping jellied lychee crystal translucent roses in your lover’s mouth. An onyx mini panther soulmate. I need you more than I need Russian water infused in my veins. Liquid prana fresh ice peachy jing on drip like the monsoon in the desert after a 13 year asylum. Inhaling calligraphic swirling silvery memoirs with your muse alchemist catalyst. A charlatan meets a saint. A siren meets a sailor. A monarch meets a revolutionary. So? Ma belle. Obsidian summons me to his chambers. L’appel du vide. Faith is not religious. My airline is named Alma. Paradoxical Penis Envy mushrooms. A slice of heaven splashing across Monaco’s shores juxtaposed with the mysterious natural sanctuary of Jardin Majorelle. Thin georgette bias cut slips in smudged kohl lined rouge. Take it all off he demands. I oblige effortlessly whilst seething in a horcrux of glamour. Chartreuse twinkling butterflies drape my curled ringlet Venusian tresses. Extra evil Ekaterina. Whispering silk road reveries with Dorian glancing at me darkly when the veil is the thinnest. A deep scar as an endless soul labyrinth to pierce. No one can replace our nāaẓaar. Finding beauty beyond the pout. Defiling your culture and losing your mother tongue with a colonialism hangover. The dance of Shiva and Shakti. Noticing concepts most miss. A humble artiste pet in the greenhouse frothing on her knees painting the art of war: Do not wash. Joséphine wrote 3 words. How dare you? An enduring theme of the cavalcade of high society. The opposite of the extractive art of conversation. Sitāron ki kahani often called kismet. At no point did the coherence of its application in varying scales lose its elegance and sacrosanctity.

Fluffy cat naps on the shimmering moroccan blanket floating in the clouds and melting into each other’s souls. Eternal lovers seeking immortality. Luminous achromatic diamonds intermingling The Panchabhuta, also known as The Five Elements, as the microcosm of the universe cosmos Brahms and the microcosm of human beings comprise Punchabhutal Panchatatva as earth, water, fire, air and ether. Asking Īśvar for infinite bodily forms and inexplicable powers like mind reading and the power to heal heartbreak. The High Priestess. Brightly unnatural colored eyes. Siamese cats are not to be trusted. Ice blonde affairs. An enamored affixation with Jamaican amber oud midnight skin I wish to marry. A grand turquoise 1400s chandelier filled with crystal vials of wishes and secrets siphoned from the subconscious pensieve. Serpentine mazes leading to velveted royal blue curtains and metallic peridot coupes on the librarian’s terrace. Bite marks on delicate wrists from rage and paranoid thoughts that never come true.

The wise are composed of stillness, sanctity, serendipity and silence. Mr. Darcy made me want to kill myself. Liquid leather boots and satin mini skirts blasting Update by Masicka 80mph. Pale citrine glass arabesque inscribed vases decorating the white marble Sheeshah Mahel floor as I lay across your lap, purring. Never loud or out of turn. Asking intimate soft hedonism questions. Preferring the presence of Titanic violins. A true captain always goes down with the ship. Paint mapping the genealogy of Akbar and Babur across the Mughal empire splashing in the invisible Saraswati river from the Hindu Kush mountains through Tibetan ashrams they disguise as snowy wonderlands in my hidden crazy room of wilde outlandish theories. There is a reason it is called Swan Lake. Bhutan is my new pristine home where one reverse ages upon arrival. I will never climb Mount Kilimanjaro but I can get you this high with one look. With great sensitivity and dexterity, I attempt to develop an emblematic relationship with the world of naturalist in abstraction where there is no hierarchy of beginning and end, only a reflection of Yin : Yang polarity and subtle energies flow of power. Be careful what you wish for.

Decorating my chambers with mirrored gauzy diamond pillows thrown across charmeuse sheets. Meeting you in Isla de Limón paradísio barefooted under the full moon. The thrill of stolen glances in ballrooms. The heat of passion that only gets hotter by acknowledging it does not exist. Reckless wagers of sense, seduction and sensibility. Your hand slips down my chiffon shawl. Lemony basil zing oysters. Perfectly carved pear and candied walnut stuffed ravioli. An aphrodisiacal rendezvous. Astringent pour l’épiderme. Organza ouroboros cycles. A freedom from conformity and stylization occupies a dominant position in La Femme Immortelle.

Transport me through a narrow stairway to a sacred realm of unopened adventures. Burn me wild and free as all ancient gems are given unto thee. Bury me in your plush hard hands in a wabi sabi urn Mumtaz Mahel carved chalice of lapis and ruby bone. I cannot bear living without you, a lair of lucidity is pondering nothing. A marrow of magic imbued in iridescent watercolors. A sacrificial altar of sinful preconceptions under the butterfly effect. Flowing glimmers of evil in private quarters blossoming with peony petals and soft emotional weaponry of warfare.

I possess immortality because I know how to live. I possess timelessness because I know how to die. A sharp letter opener and habotai valet box, once a powerful symbol of regalia. Fine rani pink and silvery threads of continuum weaving to the crystallization point of understatedness in the quest of eternal effulgence.

Open your secret emerald heart eyes to See.

They say all precious and gorgeous things are lonely.

The Kohinoor.

Notes: An innate inclination and vast repertoire of artistic and architectural endeavors towards flora and fauna exemplifies the symbolic association of naturalist with the Paradisiacal Garden, strongly instilled in the Islamic psyche as heaven to trigger emotions of joy and wonder through phenomenal artistic virtue, venerated even more deeply for its spiritual value and mystical connection with the divine world and gems refined since antiquity. What has been revealed as a mélange of characteristics that define the Nāaẓaar genre, the gleaming juxtaposition of yin and yang where the outcome is neither bereft of its functional purpose of ornamentation nor devoid of semiotic symbolism. Such richness and expression is materialistically conveyed through a labyrinth of kaleidoscopic mediums in which the creator empathetically shows us how even the simplest pieces are complex and hold immense significance inherent to ultra femme Franco Persian Indo Russian culture and thought.

As intoxicating as The Prohibition itself.

Mon Lumière in clear. Discontinued.

Lalique Sylphide. Rarely found.

An endangered species.

The War on Beauty.

Feverish.

Illicit.

At an establishment.

Everyone looks soy.

Brutal.

I am putting my cashmere sweater back on.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

Victoria Beckham lip ink stain colour wash in flushed, lucite compact and a silk fan wearing linen cotton eyelet midis as the height of glamor.

Pristine face. No makeup. Clean.

Even evenings I want nothing.

A little boutique in Martinique.

An alias.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

Having lunch with a lovely private chef who cooked the most amazing goat dish and he smiles, “I’m from Himachal where we only eat mutton, never lamb.” The man looks like a literal goat.

I am in awe.

Be mindful of subtle energies that repeat over decades. I genuinely believe we earn our beauty and ugliness too.

Complexity is sensual as it reflects thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

We live in an age where we have become exceptionally skilled at protecting ourselves. We curate our images, guard our vulnerabilities, anticipate disappointment before it arrives, and often mistake being untouched, private, and selective for being whole.

Yet there is a quiet paradox hidden within this pursuit of self preservation: What if the very walls we build to protect our hearts eventually prevent us from experiencing the richness those hearts were created for?

This question becomes especially profound when we examine femininity and the ancient idea of purity. Across civilizations, women have often been taught that their virtue is connected to preservation: remaining untouched, unmarked, and reserved for the person worthy of receiving the most sacred parts of them.

There is something profoundly beautiful in this instinct.

To guard something precious is not the same as fearing the world. A rare jewel is not hidden because it is weak.

It is protected because it possesses value.

There is a sacredness in choosing carefully who receives access to your body, your tenderness, your trust, and your deepest devotion. To remain a virgin until you meet the person you wish to share yourself with can be a quiet devotion. It is the choice to let intimacy arrive not as a momentary hunger, but as something recognized, chosen, and received with reverence.

There is a sweetness in saving certain parts of yourself for a love that feels almost mythic. Not because you are afraid of being known, but because you understand that some things become sacred through the depth of their offering.

There is a difference between indiscriminate openness and sacred surrender.

Not everything precious is meant to be immediately accessible. Some things become more meaningful because they are approached with patience, reverence, and intention.

The heart, the body, and the soul are not casual things. They are not commodities to be distributed without thought. To choose carefully who receives them can be an expression of self respect, devotion, dignity and love.

But perhaps we must also ask: What exactly are we preserving?

Is purity simply the absence of experience?

Or is it the presence of something far more difficult to maintain?

A woman may remain untouched yet become hardened by fear, suspicion, vanity, or the endless pressure of protecting an image. Another woman may have lived, loved, lost, and endured, yet somehow carry a softness, dignity, and reverence that life could not steal from her.

Perhaps purity was never meant to describe a woman who escaped life.

Perhaps purity describes a woman who encountered life deeply and remained connected to herself through it.

A woman who has loved, desired, suffered, failed, rebuilt, and still carries a tenderness that experience could not corrupt.

This does not mean every experience is equally meaningful, nor that every choice carries the same weight. Virtue matters. Discernment matters. The ability to honor oneself matters.

But virtue cannot only be measured by what has never happened.

It must also be measured by what remains untouched within the soul.

There is a difference between being protected and being preserved.

A flower sealed away from the elements may remain flawless, but it will never know the rain. A river does not lose its purity because it has traveled through different landscapes. It remains itself because it continues to move.

The rarest form of preservation is not becoming untouched.

It is becoming unaltered at the deepest level.

To allow life to leave impressions without allowing it to become an inscription.

To experience without becoming consumed.

To love without becoming lost.

To open without abandoning discernment.

A woman’s deepest value comes from an essence that cannot be taken from her.

The Kohinoor is not precious because it has been hidden away from the world.

It is precious because, even after centuries beneath different skies, through different hands, and through empires that rose and fell, its nature remained unchanged.

Its brilliance was never borrowed.

Its rarity was always within it.

A diamond does not become precious because it has been locked away in a box.

The box may protect it, but the box is not what gives it value.

Its worth was already there.

Its prism light was already within it.

Dignified beyond measure.

The highest form of virtue then is not fragility.

It is incorruptibility despite vulnerability.

Le Sacré Cœur de la Mer.

Baccarat 1925. The finest ask for very little, simplicity preserves perfection.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

One has to consider if someone makes you feel expansive, electrified and ecstatic or are they endlessly making you feel less than? Not to be conflated with praising you without merit, but do they genuinely ask you to rise without diminishing you? The truth is painful.

Ignorance is bliss.

I would prefer to stay in the dark about anything I cannot immediately change or even accept the fact that certain things are beyond my caliber [ rare ] accept it and move on.

Often the colossal leaps you have to move through and partake in to cultivate a true metamorphosis in order to be selected or chosen is not even worth it at all if in the end you lose yourself and become unrecognizable.

There are endless options if you can open your eyes to See.

Is it even worth it?

Is it genuinely what you want?

I will never understand those who bend over backwards in order to alter their entire essence and sell out simply to have something. I would rather have nothing. Is this dignity or foolishness?

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

Venusian tresses like Ekaterina.
Ringlet bounces. Mischief.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

You cannot touch what matters without letting it touch you back. Every treasure enters through the same door as loss.

Some things retain their exquisite quality only through risk. Intimacy carries the possibility of genuine heartbreak. Trust admits the sting of betrayal. Creation must tolerate failure. Love, by its very nature, leaves something precious exposed.

Perhaps you at an airport running back deplaning a flight hearing “You’re so stupid, Rose.” And nothing happens even after you throw your entire life to the wind planning an entire escape.

Faith. Entirely insane and blind.

Have you ever genuinely put yourself out there? The rare heart will blush.

We can become so accomplished at protecting ourselves that eventually we protect ourselves from the very thing we hoped to preserve. A paradox.

The heart remains immaculate, perhaps, yet strangely untouched.

Nothing is lost because nothing was ever entirely held. You never had skin in the game, only empty words. Promises.

To love anything is to grant it a small and rather dangerous privilege. It is permitted to matter.

There is no real intimacy without this quiet surrender. To be vulnerable is to be alive. To have open tenderness is to love like a child needs another so desperately. But now everything is sterilized and true love deemed taboo lest you lose your own power.

What if losing yourself is the very thing you subconsciously crave?

To be blindfolded and handcuffed metaphysically to a higher power.

Not many can even fathom it.

Powerful men especially.

It is figurative. Not literal.

And so to desire the treasure while refusing its corresponding danger is to desire only its likeness.

A beautiful facsimile. The appearance of closeness without its consequence.

Perhaps this is why some things can only be kept sacred by allowing them to remain capable of being lost. Time.

The question then is not how to become invulnerable to what you love.

It is what deserves the rare privilege of your vulnerability.

Not everything does.

Discernment is essential. Privacy is essential. There should always remain some private country within oneself that belongs to no one else. Yet once something has revealed itself as truly valuable, protecting yourself from every consequence of caring for it delicately can become an exquisitely disguised way of never possessing the experience at all.

A perfectly protected heart may suffer less.

It also receives less.

And there is something quietly tragic about arriving at the end of a life with everything preserved except the part that was meant to be lived. Spent.

What has proved worthy of touching your essence?

Irrationality. Embarrassment. Stakes.

Do not hold back.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

Oscillating between I hate myself and I genuinely love and respect myself to the highest dignity will transmute and pressurize raw potential into the most refined of diamonds.

It is the season of hatred. Rare.

To let go of negative habits and to commit wholeheartedly to discipline.

Summer is over as soon as you decide summer bodies are made in the winter.

Physical bodies merely reflecting internal happiness and savagery states.

Body of work merely reflecting passion and zest for life.

I have seen the most gorgeous bodies be completely unbalanced and miserable on the inside as a soul.

Therefore, not all that glitters is gold.

It is perfectly acceptable to disappear into the cocoon chrysalis and emerge unrecognizable in your essence.

Or to realize that what you wanted was actually quite simple after all.

Minxlike Sphinx who rarely thinks.

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

I can feel my IQ and energy visibly drop when I move from Divinize Crown consciousness violinetta to drums which are essentially lower class. Moving from prettiest to hardcore.

There is nothing wrong with said observation. I quite enjoy being close to primal living. Like “Everybody Wants To Rule The World.” I experience music, art and dance around the world with the same level of respect and open minded curiosity. The parallels are undeniable.

À présent que la glace est rompue.
In love with my music.

@pradachurch These are the market offerings

Which is why you will never see me

[Shefali शेफाली🪞 @shefalimanoj]

When you think about your deepest darkest secrets and sharing the wildest most shameful parts of yourself — Who comes to mind? Who will never judge you? You should marry them. Genuinely.

The caveat is it is rarely the person you are in love with because you want to always impress them and seem perfect but herein lies the opportunity for the most sacred intimacy to bloom because if you cannot tell someone everything without filtration, how can they possibly be your soulmate?

You cannot only love me at my best.

I want you to love my mess entirely.

More so. I want you to see how pretty I have become because I have grown.
