Hi there,

This is Asmita, founder of The Slow Studio. 

I was really looking forward to sending this email to tell you about a special sale we’ve been planning with much love over the past couple of months, but I reckon that can wait.

It’s a transformative, stressful and hopeful time in India right now, all at once. The youth is making its voice heard and the old order is resisting hard, as old orders usually do. The news cycle and reels are relentless and I’ve averaged 15 hour screen-time days in the past week (Not proud). 

It’s been exhilarating and exhausting in equal measure. I hope you’ve been taking care of your mental health and switching off from the news cycle intermittently, like I’m consciously trying to do. 

Some rituals that have helped me slow down:

• No screens an hour after waking up and an hour before sleeping.
• Switching from caffeine to fresh fruit to start the day.
• Calling friends and family instead of quick texts. 
• Taking my dog on long walks and seeing her frolic in rain puddles. 

Apart from the above, sticking to somewhat of a routine has helped.

Since I don’t feel like sharing brand updates right now, I just wanted to send across this quiet check-in. I’ll take a couple of days to do some digital R&R and tell you about our upcoming sale soon. 

Until then, I hope you take care and go easy too this week. Stay safe, stay informed, but not constantly wired if you can. We got this.

Jai Hind
