Tradition Meets Trend in My Living Room 🌿✨


 

In this mechanical world where everything is machine-made, Hast Shilp holds a special place in my heart. ❤️

The vibrant wooden parrots and beautiful wall decor from @hastshilpchennai didn’t just fill up space — they added life, warmth, and personality to my drawing room. πŸ¦œπŸ’š
Every guest who walks in pauses to admire them and says: “This feels like home.”

There’s something incredibly grounding about handmade artifacts.
Each piece carries the mark of the artisan — their time, energy, and soul. It’s not just dΓ©cor; it’s a feeling. Whether it’s the earthy texture of hand-carved wood or the vibrant hues of folk art, these touches turn a house into a home.

πŸ’‘ My decor mantra:

  • Let one handcrafted piece shine 🌟
  • Blend rich textures like wood & jute
  • Add a culture corner with dolls, bells, or torans
  • Pair clean lines with artisanal warmth
  • Choose local, choose handmade — always πŸ’«

“The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” – Wendy Wunder

🧑 How Gunvantam Farms Changed the Way I Eat and Live


          

I’ve always believed that what we eat shapes not just our bodies, but our entire energy and quality of life. But it wasn’t until I discovered Gunvantam Farms that I truly experienced what “real food” tastes like.

🌾 Pure, Stone-Milled Goodness in Every Bite

The first time I tried their Sona Moti wheat flour, I could feel the difference in my rotis—softer, more flavorful, and incredibly filling. It’s milled on granite stones (not those harsh emery stones), which I later learned preserves the nutrients and taste. For the first time, my family started complimenting the chapatis—and it wasn’t my cooking, it was the flour!

πŸ₯„ Cold-Pressed Oils That Smell Like Memories

Their cold-pressed mustard oil reminded me of my grandmother’s kitchen—the aroma, the taste, the warmth. It’s unrefined, chemical-free, and loaded with health benefits. I’ve stopped using store-bought oils entirely now.

🌱 You Can Feel the Intention in Every Product

Every grain, every spice, every jar of pickle from Gunvantam feels like it was made with care. There’s a rare kind of honesty in their process—from how they farm in Lali, Haryana, to how they eliminate middlemen and deliver directly to customers.

Their commitment to sustainability, genetic diversity, and chemical-free practices makes me feel good not just as a consumer, but as a responsible human being. I’m now making conscious choices, not just healthy ones.

🌿 More Than a Farm—It’s a Lifestyle Shift

It’s not just about the products. It’s about the stories, the values, the simplicity they stand for. I follow them on Instagram @gunvantam_farms for regular inspiration—and I’ve even started educating my kids about where their food comes from.

πŸ’š My Pantry Favorites:

  • Sona Moti Wheat Flour – unmatched taste and softness
  • Black Wheat Flour – a nutrition powerhouse
  • Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil – the heart of my everyday cooking
  • Desi Pickles & Spices – bursts of nostalgia and flavor

πŸ“Œ Real Food, Real Impact

Since switching to Gunvantam, I feel lighter, more energetic, and above all—connected to my roots. My kitchen now reflects not just health, but heritage. πŸ’«

If you’re thinking of making the switch to cleaner, purer food—I cannot recommend Gunvantam Farms enough. It's food that feeds the body and the soul.

🍫 Thee Fudge: A Sweet Surprise Straight from the Heart

 

  "Some gifts are wrapped in paper. Others in love and cocoa.”

It was my husband’s birthday—a day I always cherish it and try to make extra special. This year, something magical happened. Just when I was wondering how to make it even sweeter, Thee Fudge arrived at my doorstep. And let me tell you, it was just in time.

What better gift than something handmade, pure, and filled with love? These weren’t just fudge pieces, they were little bites of joy, crafted with care and tradition by a lovely couple, Delsha and Kureshad Katrak.

Their journey started in a cozy kitchen, but the love packed into each square travels far beyond. When their baby boy Yehaan was born, their dream took shape—and in 2025, Thee Fudge was born too.

Each fudge is a story. A moment. A pause in the rush of life.

Thee Fudge isn’t just about sweets. It’s about slowing down. Connecting. Celebrating love and legacy. They use the purest ingredients, follow sustainable practices, and pour their hearts into each batch.

🏑 Vision

To bring fudge back to the family table—connecting generations with one delicious square at a time.

Indulge in a luxurious variety—from Classic Chocolate to Salted Chocolate, Nutella, and Kunafa Fudge, each piece melts in your mouth with rich, handcrafted goodness. Whether you're craving Raspberry, Oreo, or Roasted Almond, every bite is a celebration of tradition, love, and flavourful innovation.

🎁 Looking for the Perfect Gift?

Trust me, if you're looking for something personal, thoughtful, and delicious—Thee Fudge is it. Whether it’s a birthday, a celebration, or just a little pick-me-up… it fits every occasion.

I’ll say it again—some sweets just taste like love. Thank you, @thee_fudge01, for making my husband’s day extra special… and our hearts (and tummies) full. πŸ’–
