Hello, wonderful readers! Welcome to the inaugural post of my blog, where I embark on a journey to blend my passion for South Asian wedding rituals with my love for user experience (UX) design. Think of this as your weekly dose of tradition meets innovation—a match made in digital heaven!
Why This Blog Exists
Life threw me a curveball when I was laid off from my previous job. Instead of dwelling on the setback, I saw it as an opportunity to pursue something close to my heart. Having experienced the vibrant tapestry of South Asian weddings firsthand, I realized there's a gap in accessible, user-friendly information about the rituals and what couples can expect. This blog aims to fill that gap, serving as a guiding light for brides, grooms, and anyone interested in understanding these rich traditions.
