Endless Ways To Squander

Up for some writing? Don't know. When I sit, my mind squanders. It goes everywhere except where it should be. No lazy quiet Saturdays or Sundays can help to bring it back. It goes to places I have yet to go. It talks to people I am yet to meet. It listens and it doesn't listen.

Mind: Something only the most powerful can conquer. Something that is untamed no matter how many meditations you do, no matter how many solitary evening you have. It wanders till it wants. And sometimes more than that. And as I try to write once again, it shows me beautiful places and I have to put my pen down and just look.

Dear Black

You have been the most worn colour and you have been the least taken care of colour.

About you, Henry Ford once said that “Any colour as long as it is black.” You have been there and you will always be, on the top.

Now that winters are here, you are going to be seen everywhere. And you will be always liked for making people sexy in the most minimal ways. Not only all the suits and little dresses would talk about you, you will have new admirers as well.  You will be amidst all the wardrobes,  amidst all the colours and amidst all our lives. 

Pearls

 Next to sound judgment, diamonds and pearls are the rarest things in the world.

On The Eve of Winter

Achala Nupur, Dilli Haat
In Delhi, even though you can feel the chill in the air, the days are still quite sunny. But we know that an almost full fledged winter is just a day away. So some people are making the most of the summer that is left. Achala, for instance wore a dress which was perfect for what I would say, the eve of an Indian winter.

So, how are you guys making the most of all the sun we are getting these days? Will post some pictures of Dilli Haat soon.

And All The Festivities

However dark and twisty that might sound, I have always been a lost soul during the festive season. All my life. It has only been recently that I look at these bright lights and all the happy faces and it just looks perfect. And the amazing temperature just adds more beauty to the festivals.

Diwali, the festival of lights, the festival of goddess Laxmi and the festival of India is as beautiful as it sounds. It is the day Rama, Sita and Laxman returned to Ayodhya after killing Ravana. And the whole kingdom was decorated with lights.

Hope you are making the most of this festive season. So, what did you do on your Diwali?

The Green Mile

This is that time of the year. When I want to not to work. Taking a break. I have scheduled this post. Would come back soon to reply your messages and comments. Also, here is to wish you a very happy Diwali in advance.  Hope you all are making the most of this festive season. See you soon next week.

The Animal Instinct

And I went ahead
With the instinct of an animal
And with the doubt of a girl
With a hope to find you
In the woods of my thoughts...

Never in my life did I think I would wear an animal print. Somehow I could never understand them. Saw them everywhere - on the ramp, in the movies, on the streets. But it never caught my fancy. Until now. I am trying to experiment just a bit here. Made the top myself. Hope you like the post.

It was a good evening. We discovered a cool accessory shop. We also went to a small bakery shop called 'Fresh Cake' at the DT Mega mall basement. Juree had a great chicken puff(sharing the picture here) and got a cheesecake packed which was awesome.

Juree's dress: Will have to ask :)

Divine in Blue

Divya, New Delhi
In a recent post, I was talking about the colour blue. And how it reminded me of certain things.  Not much after my new found love for the colour, I found someone who looked divine in blue. Here is Divya, sporting blue in a really fashionable way. Check out her bag and of course her hair...Lovely hair.

From now on, I have resolved to travel a bit and click more people. I just wish I was less lazy and could click more pictures because I have seen people assuming that women do not dress up in India. Well, there might be a grain of truth in this, but it is not a correct information in its entirety. Well, what do you think? Do let me know in the comment section.

In a Blue World

A fellow blogger once said that we should embrace our blues. I thought why not. It’s a bitter sweet life. And it is the bitter that makes sweet. Blue for me is a colour that reminds of this movie called Code 46. It was a futuristic kinda, concept based movie and yeah, blue does seem to be a futuristic colour. It also reminds me of the cover of the book The Great Gatsby.

Somehow I always missed this colour in my wardrobe. I guess it happens to many people. Even if it’s a colour you are fond of, one close look at your wardrobe tells you that you surprisingly have so less of it. So, what is the colour you think you should have more of, in your wardrobe, which colour have you subconsciously missed buying? 
Also, there is this wonderful Blue song you can listen to: Blue (Da Ba Dee) 
I have a blue house with a blue window
Blue is the color of all that I wear
Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
I have a girlfriend and she is so blue

And a big Thank You to Mansi for this dress:)

Buttoned Up

When was the last time you tried a shirt on your dress? This is officially autumn and and so it is the time to take out all those shrugs, throw ons and those shirts (that do not fit anymore!) and wear them in a nerd fashion way. 

Dress: Globus, Shirt: Thrifted, Bag: No idea :), All I know is that it is Juree's hard earned accessory, Shoes: Done by None

Its Your Body

“When we lose twenty pounds, we may be losing the best twenty pounds we have! We may be losing the pounds that contain our genius, our humanity, our love and honesty.”
- Woody Allen

No wonder I love Woody Allen. Everyone does.

Anyway, so when was the last time you thought about your weight? Yesterday? Right now :)

Like every other girl on this planet, I have read articles and stories about obesity and how it does matter and it doesn't. There were 2 years in my life when I was a big girl. I used to wonder, "Okay so these articles are telling me to be happy because weight didn't matter and it makes me feel good for a while and I take a proud walk, but why am I sad at the end of every day?"

Things don't change much. Once a fat girl, always a fat girl. Why? Well, even if we lose weight from most of our body parts, what about the brain? In there, most of the once upon a time fat girls are always fat. 

So, what to do? Go to your mirror? Look at yourself like you have looked at your form for the first time. If you think, you are a bit overweight, buy a pair of running shoes. If not, start a new life. People change. So have you. How hard is it to accept the fact that you look good?

Of course workout should be a part of your daily life, like brushing your teeth. But you can skip it every once in a while. But I guess its a sin to skip the thought that says you are awesome anyway. 

Have a happy weekend!

A Drive To Remember

Life in a metro comes with its own set of cons.  And on an odd weekend, anything from visiting a friend you love to going for a simple drive can change things.

Am posting a simple post. Nothing much to say. Except that I went on a drive to remember! Also, except that there is nothing like your favourite pair of jeans! I think thats a must in every girl's wardrobe.

Jeans: Pepe Jeans, Top: Van Heusen, Shoes: Carlton London, Necklace: Done by None, Other Accessories: Flea Market
