What Our Better Halves Think About Our Blog

1 August 2017 · 2 Comments

By now our readers know us and know a lot about our lives. But my husband, DJ is of course a big part of my life and most readers don’t know a lot about him. Or about Madhan, Satarupa’s husband or about Akshay, Bidisha’s boyfriend. We thought it was high time we introduced them. So here is a little bit about them and what they think about the blog!

Bidisha’s boyfriend – Akshay

The best thing – Akshay boasts about my blog to anyone and everyone he introduces me to. It’s adorable and makes me feel so proud! Being a writer himself (he is a writer/director  by profession and you can see his short film here), he always lets me know if I have made a grammar mistake and leaves a heart on the posts he likes.

Quite a few times he has sat down with me to help me with my writing. The funniest being when I was writing my Gillette shaving post and he was sitting and working by my side and giving me ideas!

Unfortunately, we are yet to reach the stage where he is my photographer (Instagram boyfriend in other words) but that is just a matter of time and of buying a camera. Poor Akshay he has no idea what he has gotten into!

Satarupa’s husband – Madhan (Maddy)

When we first started the blog I don’t think any of us realised how much work would be involved. I borrowed my dad’s DSLR camera for the pictures (which I still haven’t returned :D) and Maddy would take all my photos. I’m literally the worst model, when we first started I hated posing or having my picture taken in public. I would only take pictures in front of a white wall in our apartment. Maddy would insist on going outside and taking the shots in natural light and made sure I got used to it eventually. So much so that I can now actually work with other photographers and have gotten quite comfortable with it.

Apart from the pictures and the writing there’s quite a bit that goes into starting a blog. I remember setting up the actual website, the poor guy stayed up all night with me fixing all sorts of issues with our site and patiently helped out with all my crazy requests. Today I feel like we’ve found the perfect balance when it comes to the blog. Though he doesn’t read all our posts he proofreads all of mine and gives me great feedback. He patiently takes my Instagram outfit photos till I’m satisfied with the shot. Though he complains that I don’t let him eat his food or drink his coffee till I finish taking pictures of it. I know he doesn’t really mind 🙂

My husband, Dhananjaya (DJ)

I remember when I told DJ I wanted to start a fashion blog, he was really supportive. That also may have been because I bored him so much about shopping and clothes and fashion articles and news, an outlet for this interest seemed like a good idea. Although yes, he was annoyed since he wanted to start a cricket blog (which he did and you can can check it out) but I kind of stole his idea and made it a fashion blog instead!

Overall he is kind of indifferent to the blog and yes, he doesn’t read it – atleast not the fashion and makeup articles unless they are about men’s fashion. And honestly, I don’t really expect him to. He does look at the pictures for some of the posts and comments on how great the pictures are (since he took them!)
And he is amazing with the photography. Some time back he told me we really need to improve on the blog photography and I told him I needed his help. He researched cameras (and then we kind of stole a friend’s camera). He then looked into the kind of lens we need and we went and got it. I definitely think our pictures have improved a lot after that. You might already know but DJ takes most of my photos. I am a horrible model, extremely fidgety and impatient so it definitely helps that he takes the photos because I would definitely not be comfortable otherwise.
The one thing he hates is my Instagram obsession. I am obsessed with Instagram. The amount of time I spend on Instagram really annoys him. So that is something I definitely need to work on!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! Do you have any questions for us or for Akshay, Madhan or DJ? Let us know and we would love to answer them. Also I cannot believe it August already! Please come say hi on our Twitter, check out our Instagram and like our Facebook page. Till next time!
