La Gallerie du 19 M- Sunu Diggante

Image
 One Friday afternoon in summer, feeling worn out from working from home and dealing with everyone else's issues but my own, I decided to head into town. My plan was to spend some quiet time away from everything and everyone, doing something just for me. I chose to visit the "Sunu Diggante" (What Binds Us) exhibition at Le 19 M, held at the Museum Théodore Monod in Dakar.  For those who don't know,  Le 19 M  , created by the famous fashion house Chanel, is a building that brings together several artisans specializing in fashion-related arts in France, such as embroidery, feather making, hat making, and weaving. Over the years, Chanel has acquired several houses with these specialties to revive French savoir-faire and avoid outsourcing. The building's name combines 19, Coco Chanel's birthdate, and M, representing the French words for fashion (Mode) and Métiers d'Art. Le 19M is more than a building; it's also a gallery.

Time Pass

 One of my favorite Indian term is "Time Pass". I have heard of it while watching Bollywood movies. It is defined as the “action or fact of passing the time, typically in an aimless or unproductive way.” according to the dictionary from Oxford Languages. Today, I want to use the term in context of relationships. In recent years, I have discovered that some relationships are just time pass for people. You enter in a relationship with someone fully knowing that you have no intention of being serious. It means you are fooling around with that person but your ultimate goal is not to settle down whether to get married or to be a in a monogomous long term relationship. This is not a problem when both parties involved agree to the terms. It becomes an issue if one part of the couple is more serious than the other. You date someone hoping to get hitched only for that person to consider you time pass. It is frustrating. Top - Numero Uno Jeans - Mango Bag - Gracias boutique Sandals - D
