Ritabhari Chakraborty Instagram – Everyone dreams of something. I dreamt of a home – a home of our own full of art and cozy vibes. My parents separated when i was 4 and the three of us have lived in enough places since then to wonder what it would be like one day when we build our own space. Of all those places my fav was living with my grandparents and the house was called “Keya” – named after my didama. Cancer took her away from us when i was in high school. I never completely recovered from that pain. She was beautiful, elegant, poised, excellent in interiors, a teacher of south point who taught me how to be a lady in life and a warrior when life showed its edges. I know how to fold a napkin and also how to not fold when patriarchy stands in my way. She was my best-friend.My safe space.
I named my home “Keya patar Nouka” after her. After-all we all – me,my mom,my siblings everyone is an extension of Keya Sanyal and her keya bari. Didama – tomar smritite – tomar chorone amar shokol prapti, naam dak , uparjon shob dilam. Tumi chhile tai aaj amra benche achi matha tule. I salute the silent support of all mothers and grand mothers who built us – took care of us only to leave even more silently asif they were never really here. I wont let that happen to my didama, she lives in me as long as i live. Through my work,aesthetic,spirituality – everything. Keya patar noukar kichhu chobi tomader sathe share korlam ❤️
