She enjoys her morning coffee
and an Indian breakfast some
day's poha, other day's parathas
or idlis, all comforting tastes
that have become familiar
during her visits.
Mieko begins her day early,
lacing up for a morning jog
through the peaceful gardens
and quiet streets near her hotel.
This daily ritual grounds her.
By mid-morning, Mieko heads
to the company's workshop, her
second home in Jaipur.
The moment she steps inside,
she's greeted with smiles and
warmth from the team designers,
pattern masters, embroiderers,
and workers who have been with
her through many collections.
For Mieko, these greetings
are more than courtesy,
they're exchanges of shared
energy, respect,
and creative excitement.
