Nisha JamVwal's South African Sparkle

South African Holiday

                                                                                                                                                                                                Switzerland, Saint Tropez, Mont Blanc……… planning dream journeys bring to the imagination exotic locales, but South Africa? That it would one day be my most desired holiday destination with a poignant longing to go back? and without that craving to return to the roller coaster work and play that constitutes Bombay Nisha JamVwal fare! 


Never had I imagined this scenario when I embarked on this astounding holiday! Sometimes its just so magically escapist to run away and imagine that that is what constitutes life?!

With the overload of information in our lives, I had only distantly registered that there is more to South Africa than intricate weaves, voodoo and ebony art. Even when my itinerary was being planned to the minutest detail, wrapping up work for the holiday isolated me from knowledge and expectation. And so the heightened delight for the unexpected adventure and amazement that peppered the exploration of this fascinating country.

Love, Loss & Moving on by Nisha JamVwal

Meanderings & Reflections About Loss & Moving-on

Sometimes I wonder why
The vaulted sky
Translucently glows
Through all the lows
Frowns speck my brow
I’m wondering when
The green glen
Be a valley free
To hug a Tibetan tree
A moody dappled moon
Hides from me
A flower in bloom
Un speckled smiles
Unfettered Miles
I’d rest a while
I’d be a child
There was a before
I’d open the door
To dance ashore
Shed cares I wore
Bask in sunlight

Breaking Up Survival By Nish JamVwal

I was at the ripe old age of fifteen when ‘he’ crossed the firmament of my romantic dreams. Tall, intense, brooding, silent, – Heathcliffe, (no less), out of the pages of ‘Wuthering Heights”! 

And then my hero, this meteor in human

form, moved out of the aforementioned firmament, leaving behind an irredeemably inconsolable and bereft me. Fits of uncontrollable crying overcame at the remorse that we had not exchanged one single word in all that time our paths crossed! Ever so slowly time reconciled me to an endless life ahead, of forlorn singlehood! And then chance brought him once more to my vicinity. What had the scant month done to him?? 

Just one month had transformed him into this bashful, stoop-shouldered, chinless wonder who gagged in coyness at every mundane query!!

My Style; My Fashion Choices; Why I wear what I do; What is my style statement!

It's important to be what we are, comfortable from within with our unique choices, not frenetically focused on trends,

Not wearing aubergine because it's the 'in' colour but because you are in sync with the shade. And, of course, to suit your body type.

Nisha Jamvwal's Musing's on Dali

“Every morning, when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy—the joy of being Salvador Dali—and I ask myself in rapture, ‘What wonderful things this Salvador Dali is going to accomplish today?’”

— Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali

At this moment when i am creating something new in my life, the words of one of my favourite artists come to mind, that flamboyant artist who used bizarre dream imagery to create unforgettable landscapes of his own inner world.

ACT NOW : Bringing Change To The Indian System

To me the failure to come up victors and prove to the world that we are a world force in organizing infrastructure for the Commonwealth Games is a failure again. Nearly as poor as 26 /11

IS BRANDED SEXY & DESIRABLE? BY Nisha JamVwal

B(r)AN(d) IT

Nisha JamVwal on Slavery to Luxury Brands

B(r)an(d) it!!

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. ... said Oscar Wilde, and wouldn’t you agree when you see society ladies with buldges and protrusions in all non-required places at ‘fashionable’ soiree’s strutting designer labels meant for an entirely different body type with all the beatific bliss of feeling that they are immensely ‘right’ on the fashion front . Never mind looking horrifyingly ‘wrong’. What doesn’t seem to count is appropriateness,

Traditional Craft & Preserving a Legacy By Nisha Jamvwal

MY JOURNEY IN TRADITIONAL ART & TO WORK AT SAVING DYING CRAFTS oF INDIA

Like in every traditional art or craft form in India, that one touches upon , what impresses is the skill and dexterity in addition to the time put in. The true splendour of the exquisite series of works have to be seen to be appreciated, mere description cannot do justice, to these richly luminous forms. Yet fame and survival does not come easy to the craftsman whose lineage has managed to keep the art.

the vagaries of the centuries patronage of religion and rulers preserved and protected the art and the artist. But in present times, like so many other art forms that entails so much time and skill, this too is vulnerable and incline toward evanescence. Compromised techniques and work methods have crept in.

A Little About Nisha JamVwal by Nisha JamVwal

About Nisha By Nisha

I am an interior Architect and a columnist who established my brand in interior Design and then diversified into Fashion.



I am not a person who has lived my life to any preformatted rules. I am a prolific designer- the quintessential aesthete who has expressed my creativity in multiple forms.
My brand spans Interiors and Lifestyle along with Fashion- couture and prêt and Art. I have written books and articles ,designed the Jaipore Airport Lounge, done a thirty six episode Television Show on Star One with celebrities entitled "Home Shanti Home' where I visited the homes of film actors and politicians and artists and chatted with them intertwining their homes into the conversation. Also a show called 'Meri Saheli' where I sat in a different space of a home and gave some highlights on DIY and refurbishment with a modest budget.

A Silent Prayer For Indian Craft

My Gem


Like in every traditional art or craft form in India, that one touches upon , what impresses me always is the skill and dexterity in addition to the time put in. The true splendour of the exquisite series of works that were in the auction orchestrated by me, have to be seen to be appreciated, mere description cannot do justice, to these richly luminous forms.

Yet fame and survival does not come easy to the craftsman whose lineage has managed to keep the art. He struggles in a land where it is difficult to survive.
