My Home...

By
One of my favourite Oprah shows used to be the home make over stories, I  loved watching how they would tear down a place (which wasn't really that bad to begin with) and turn it into something stunning with gorgeous furniture and luxurious drapes. I think anything can look better if you just drape some flowy rich material somewhere near it. I remember Nate Berkus was in charge of the home makeovers on Oprah and he sure knew how to spruce up a place... I liked his blend of earthy and neutral tones, it lent a great deal of elegance and grace to the place. Wonder why they don't air Oprah these days... anyway, I just thought of giving you a glimpse into my home... 

Here's the living room and I love the way sunshine floods into it...

The rest of the living room... 

My own little space... my bedroom (check out the framed picture, its the same as my blogger header and the other is a picture of my home town).

My charming little kitchen...

The poster in my kitchen...

As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to buy it... was reading it in the shop and laughing away, its a list of things you've learned from FRIENDS, like 'Always say the right name at the altar' or 'If stung by a jellyfish, pee on it' or 'Only in prison do they CUP whilst measuring for pants' or 'Throwing your own wake is not a good way to meet women'.

So what do you think...

Now someone is quite proud of showing their home. Hmmmm. Loved your place. The new look of your blog is so very refreshing and new. Liked it as well. The B & W bedspread is so very lovely. Shall I drop in someday, dear Karen?

Joy always,
Susan

P. S: You should have also shown the place where you sit and write blog posts.

Oh Susan, you can drop in anytime though don't be surprised if the pictures don't match... the house isn't usually this clean and the pictures here are taken from two homes (the one I grew up in and the one I live in now). And in the bedroom picture, you see a little table by the side with a laptop on it, that's where I am sitting right now and typing this.

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

My school teachers...

By
So I got to thinking bout my school days recently and it saddened me that I was starting to forget a few teachers who had shaped my life, I have already forgotten nearly half the classmates... though its not my fault. Some people just don't want to join facebook, then how can you find them in this big world. Even if I do find them, there is not much to talk beyond the 'where are you & what are you doing' phrases. But the teachers are another matter, they deserve to be remembered for moulding us. I gotta hand it to the convent school I studied in, they really knew how to select their educators... all the teachers I had shared a genuine passion for teaching and above that they had strong moral values and faith which invariably shaped our lives. To them being a good person was what mattered the most and they made sure we grasped this knowledge, it also helped that I had staunch catholic parents who cemented this view. Anyway, I just wanted to jot down stuff bout my teacher

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

By
Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
