Hi there I am Sanchayita!
Amidst nature in the mountain state of Meghalaya, I grew up in the lovely capital town of Shillong. A setback came upon our family when my dad suddenly fell ill with paralysis and mom had to take charge of the family. Bringing up 2 very young kids while managing a teaching job and caring for her children and husband. She is my first inspiration of resilience, when I watched her work so hard- managing the job, taking private tuitions, knitting woollens and attending morning college to complete her Graduation.
Being the elder kid, I was expected to step in from the age of 6, growing up faster than most, learning resilience and responsibility. While most kids enjoyed their play time, I had to take care of my little brother and focus on studies a lot more. Be it waking up at 3 am to prepare for the scholarship exams which could wave off my school fee or prepare for Medical Entrance test. My biggest heart break was when despite clearing the NEET test without any professional coaching, I couldn’t secure a medical college seat as mom couldn't afford the fee. She was not keen on asking for help from any of our relatives or take a loan as she was already overburdened. While I respected her decision, it was a crushing moment for me as the admission door closed on me.
This is the time when many like me settle for basic graduation even if they want to go for higher education. I took up my first job to support my family at the age of 19. This is the time when I asked my mom to resign from her teaching job to complete masters in Bengali language which she always wanted to do.
While I too wanted to learn new skills, get higher education, travel, go for those Mountain Treks - that I absolutely love, financial restrictions kept me constrained.
Knowing how it feels to settle for basic, even when you have the capability to pursue something beyond, I always wanted to be there for someone who faced similar challenges like me. However I didn’t know how to go about it or where to start from, for a very long time.
When I got married, I met another strong woman in my Mother-in-law, who brought up 2 strong children while fighting with cancer. Fuelled by their sacrifices and resilience I was determined to break the cycle of struggle.
But there was always a phase of "What to do?" as we are always taught to be happy with a white collar job. However I always wanted to something beyond.
I started learning about Silver and it's healing properties, how it calms the body and mind and relives anxiety. When I became a mother myself, anxiety was at it's peak and I could really feel the difference when I started wearing Silver everyday. I was determined to bring the underrated Silver jewellery to many mothers like me, who struggled every day through anxiety and challenges.
This became the inspiration of my jewellery collection from the Heirloom of Strength- Bhramari: the Queen Bee, as a tribute to the journey of every strong woman.
