Benaras Bliss: A Garden House Odyssey from Mark Twain to Satyajit Ray

Wondering what’s common between me, Dr. Annie, Beasant, Jawaharlal Nehru, Rabindranath Tagore, Sarojini Naidu, Mahatma Gandhi and his goat of course? Well, we all had the pleasure of staying at the same property, at different points in time, of course! Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like, had I been born in a…

#BringIndiaHome with UCOI

One fine day, I was taking a walk down one of the quaint lanes of Hindustan Park when my eyes met a little birdie’s. I felt an instant connection. And the rest, they say, is history! Presenting UCOI, Unifying Crafts and Design. At the surface level, it may seem like just another home decor store,…

Staycation at Fortune Park Panchwati with my bff

Ever since I have made a foray into the other side of 25, my life has undergone a lot of changes. While I enjoyed nudging and partying with random strangers till the wee hours, at least four times a week earlier, it has now has been replaced by a quieter scene with the people for…

A LIT evening with Desi Lantern

Honestly, I wanted to open this post by picking off a travel quote from Google by a famous person I have never heard of, but would have had to use #Wannabe alongside, so I let it pass. 🙂 Having just returned from a long and beautiful vacation to Europe, I was facing some terrible post-vacation…

A post demonstrating five quick and easy ways to translate your favourite summer pieces into your Winter/Autumn looks.

Northwest at my fashionable best- I

The Meteorological Department is not your Mother, and hence, should not be trusted upon, blindly. The much predicted rain showers didn’t happen, and it was not me, but the sun that was having a ‘blast’, when I headed Northwest to the city of lakes, Udaipur. Day 1: White is definitely one’s most obvious choice for summers and…

Bumming in Bhutan

A tiny little creature resembling a human being will be spotted in a few of my photos. I did not intend to have her in this post because she is my BFF with who I took this trip to the beautiful Bhutan, but because I don’t have any more outfit pictures to share other than…

Layering in Leh- Doosra Hissa

Before you start judging me on ‘Doosra Hissa’, let me clarify, ‘Part Deux’ is kind of mainstream, and hey, this did grab some eyeballs right? Moving on, while my body is definitely feeling the sweltering heat, my mind is still lost in the tranquility of Leh. So words are pouring themselves out, instead of me having to…

Layering in Leh

With my hometown being Calcutta, some cold breeze gushing through my face is always so refreshing. Leh was however MUCH more than I had asked for.  Layering for winters is not something that comes naturally to us tropical dwellers. Who is to be blamed considering the small so-called winters most of the country experiences! With…
