Memories And Daniel Wellington

I was nine. I remember my father wearing that extraordinary watch every morning before he went to court. Every evening as he took it off, I would slip into his room and try it on. It was of course too big for me then. But I loved it.

I firmly believe a watch is the best gift you can give to anyone. When you gift a watch you gift something that stays for as long as you want a gift to stay. There is something very personal about gifting a watch.

Anyway, so many years later, I have laid my hands on something that looks exactly like that watch I grew up admiring. It is a Daniel Welllington watch and it is called Classic Sheffield Lady. Love the classic design of Daniel Wellington watches. For me, these are the cleanest designed watches ever. 

The story behind Daniel Wellington begins with a trip half way around the globe where Filip Tysander, the founder of Daniel Wellington, met an intriguing gentleman from the British Isles. The man had the inspiring ability to be genteel but still relaxed and unpretentious. He had an impeccable style and loved to wear his watches on old weathered NATO straps. His name? Well, Daniel Wellington, of course.

Filip Tysander and Daniel Wellington became friends. Filip was so inspired by Daniel's life stories and his timeless style that he decided to name a new brand of watches after him. The idea was to capture every bit of Daniel in these watches.

Daniel Welllington is a Swedish brand and they are delivering to India now. See their collection here. Let me know what do you think.

Will Be A Hundred Next Week

And just like that I did 99 posts. I am happy. In case you are wondering about the first picture, yes, that is to precisely show the happiness.

There are times when I plan to take down the blog. There is hardly any time to write these days. There are times when I have no one to take pictures. And then there is someone. I would like to thank Achala, Juree, Shilpi, Mehak, Sanjeev X Sharma, Abhilasha and Vishal for taking the pictures. This blog would not exist without you people.

Coming back to almost 100 posts. I do not know how I have done it. I do not even have 100 clothes for God sake! And to be able to write 100 posts, well that must be someone else doing the 10 minutes, have-to-write something, its Friday, I am doomed, I have nothing, kind of thing.

No matter how little time I give to this blog, I would very much like and intend to continue it. Hope you guys like it. Not just for friendship's sake. But truly. At least once in a while. That would mean a lot to me.

Here is to almost 100  posts! Thank you everyone. There will be a contest on the blog next week! Stay tuned!

Denims Can Wait

Sanjeev X Sharma and I used to talk about photography when we were in the same office. And we hardly talked otherwise. Then I left that office and started losing touch with people except for some. As far as Mr. Sharma was concerned, I never thought I would stay in touch with him. 

But there are friends with whom you talk just once in a few months or meet once in a year and pick up from where we left off. He is one of those. Sanjeev has been into photography for really long and we have been friends for longer. But this was the first time we met and took some pictures for the blog and I love the result!

Coming to outfits, Neha always asked me to buy palazzos but I don't know why it took me so long to buy them. One thing is for sure. I love my denims. I really do. But palazzos are a boon in Indian summers.  Denims can wait.

And thank you Mehak Mann for having us.
