Richa wrote, “I took a small undeclared break of sorts from SM. Sigh! Had to. Needed to. Now back. Somewhat. Between becoming a new mom and trying to remember who I was, it’s been bananas. I feel like giving birth is also birthing a new me. (sic)”

Expressing gratitude to her followers for their patience during her time away, She added, “But first, thank you to those who stayed through my hiatus.
