Sleep May You, In Beam

I tried to write a song
For the heartbeats that skipped
For the lovers' farewells;

Words, endless words for company
Till breath is silent.

Mystical Creature!!!

She strolled by the beach quietly, in her own world. A fascinating sight.

Goa, India, 2011.

Rabbit Digs A Hole

Life is changing,
The world is changing;
We are no more who we were,
Just another name forgotten.






Some more street styles from my travels, China 2010.

Two Girls. Some Beers. More Fun.

Something my friend and I conjured up one night, in bubbling high spirits. It was worth the hangover next day. Smile!!!

Young Hearts Forever

National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), where I studied my design, had their annual festival last month. Sad to say that the current students aren't as inspiring and original as we were during our days. I managed to capture a few which I thought caught my attention anyway.



Well, I usually dont agree leggings teamed with keds/ballet pumps/flats...but I think these girls managed to look cute and pretty somehow.

Very typical Indian guys who fall in the metro-sexual category. Indian girls should make an effort to dress up more, as they have amazing features and confidence.

A very decent shot of us, since my friends are faculty members at NIFT, and have to maintain decorum and roles of professors. Renee (far right) looks beautiful in an Indian sari. Anupreet (centre) looks dazzling in an Indian suit (I think it was anarkali).

And please please dont ever try this. even at home, no matter how cool you think you have managed some innovative DIYs. And most importantly, please know your body type before stepping out in some awkward ill-fitting outfit.

One Cold Day We Sing

The Waves Are Haunting Me

Lost You Are, in a Heartbeat!!!

You Know What All Girls Say...

Some cute teens chilling in the sun, before the freezing snowy winter set in.

A Night With Yves Larock!!!

HE IS A GREAT DJ. HE ROCKS MY WORLD. HE IS SEXY TOO.










THE MUSIC WAS CRAZY. THE CROWD WAS CRAZY. AND SO WAS I.

(My laptop died down on me for some days so I had been MIA. But am back now and cant wait to see what all of yoo have been upto. Smile!!!)

A Bright Sunny Day For Work!!!

Of course, I didn't go to work dressed like this!!!

tee shirt: had painted it in school...can't believe my sister still had it with her for more than 10 years...
skirt: off-shoulder top that I cropped into a skirt. Voila!!!
vest: recent purchase off flea market
accessories: from everywhere...just can't get enough of them...

Sometimes You Sink In With The Ship

That Thing Is Good & Delicious

Oh What Bliss!!!

I was in three minds - which colour to paint with...white, magenta or...well YELLOW it became. It was good fun. More coming up. Wink!!!

White Weekend!!!

It was a damn working day on an off weekend!!! Just screwed up my whole 'chill-out weekend' plans. And I had to work late too - left work at 20.00...can u believe it??? So I have decided to make it up by visiting the usual hair spa tomorrow. I am mischievously thinking of a color.

This is what i was about to wear to work today (rebelliously casual) but changed my mind as the weather got a little too breezy for this flimsy tunic. So I wore a slightly longer black tunic instead which didn't look that great. So no snapshot of that. Oh and I have to admit that I am in this phase of spotting the Whites wherever I go - white shoes, white shirts, white belts, white skirts...reason why I haven't bought anything recently, since I don't want to end up with a one-color wardrobe yet I end up falling for all the whites at the stores.

The neck beads are antiques belonging to one of our ancient-ancient Naga cultures (I will confirm the name soon) and it is beautiful. And this flat sandals are a recent purchase. It was too pretty for the price.

Ignore my ugly feet!!!

Street Style #1

I have been contemplating on posting street styles but honestly, taking the city I live in, it is a little more than difficult to come across people who stand out and look good and be original too. The problem here is you see many replicas of one another, unlike Bangalore and Bombay, where it is more cosmopolitan and multi-cultured. Yet, I shall continue my quest.

This is a photograph I took from my backdoor view. Love the sunset color.

Street style #1 - This is a picture of my sister which she sent some months back. I thought I should start my street style with something that I find trendy and amongst 'most-wanted' things on my list. I love that bohemian-ish bag with all the details, and her winter boots. Wish Delhi was that cold in winters, if it meant being able to wear such sexy boots!!! Love the whole look.Way to go 'sistah'!!!

Everything under the Sun

It's cold. It's warm. It's chilly. It's windy. It's hot. It's gloomy. It's everything at the moment. Except rain. And when that thought just came to my mind it started pouring heavy tonight all of a sudden. This is how the weather is at the moment. In Delhi. And what's bizarre is this weather just wouldn't let you make up your mind whether you should dress warm (and when you do that the sun suddenly scorches down on you!) or wear something light (and the sun just wouldn't show up!). So I have been playing it safe by ingeniously dressing up to tackle any of these maddening climatic transformation - by simply throwing in some light and warm clothes together. Bet everybody is doing just that!

This is a beautiful handmade scarf from China. It's somewhat got weight because of the extensive detailed and intricate bead work. And though it looks very sophisticated, I can do it up to look casual at times.

This is what I wore out yesterday to meet some friends. The weather was gloomy throughout and by the time I was home, there was a slight drizzle of rain. Well, I got my shorts and a white shirt in case it gets hot, and my leg warmers and this exquisite scarf to keep me handy for the cool breeze.

Snow White

It was a sunny morning when I woke up and had the whole day to myself. So I thought why not do the one thing thats been on my mind for a couple of days - go shoe shopping!!!Now let me tell you that I usually go for anything in flats - funky but flat shoes. But lately, this thought of owning a pair of them sexy high heels has been raging in my head over and over, and I thought 'why not?'. It took me the whole day, not forgetting irking many salesmen from many many stores before I finally landed on this gorgeous from Mango. It was exorbitantantly priced (according to me) but I just could not deny myself such a beauty. It should be worth the buy. Hopefully.

Pretty Frills

It was on-the-spot visualisation that prompted me to make this frilly butter roses headgear last night. Its the first attempt so its somewhat tacky. Well, all I have to do now is get various materials and experiment more. I already have an idea for a crazy neck piece that should convince me to go to Chandni Chowk one fine day to pick up beautiful beads and knick-knacks. Hey, fun just got started!!!

Reminds me of Little Bo Peep.

Just Another Day

I am running out of clothes as I am still travelling and therefore stuck with my limited set of wardrobe...well another belt pouch of mine. Not so hot but lovely colour. Cool Goa shopping 2007. Well, looks like I will be missing out on that fun this year.
