Indulgences

By
I love going through home decor magazines and wasting time at home decor stores, I can never get bored there. Sometimes I think we should have been born with tags like engineer, mechanic, driver, celebrity etc. to really know what we were meant to do in life. Mine would have read interior designer... of course I realised that quite late, and became an engineer who now dabbles in English literature. Anyway, I think everything works out for the best, God knows what He's doing.
Coming back to my indulgences, I picked up these two candle holders recently...

I love this one, light it everyday when we say the rosary at home...
This one is pretty too, but not all that useful... keeping it in the showcase.
This quilt was love at first sight... bought it a year back, but didn't feel like using it cause it's so pretty and soft and wonderful. Well, that's all for now.

I love the candles. I also love the bedspread--but especially that first candle with it's intricate splashes of light and design.

Yeah Beth, those intricate splashes of light and design is what drew me to it.

Gibsy, I bought the comforter in Fountain Plaza in Egmore, I don't remember the shop name... but its right at the entrance.

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....

I hope the world doesn't end in 2012, I have a whole lot of books to read...

I heard bout Flipkart.com from Anju and that site has changed my life. All the books that I have been searching for since centuries, are now sitting prettily on my book shelf. Landmark is a thing of the past now... in fact Landmark is not what it used to be anymore, they do not seem to have stock on most of the good books. So I am deliriously thankful to the creators of flipkart, I seriously love you guys... continue with your fabulous work. Talking of books, here are a few people who have enriched my life with their recommendations of the written word... My brother Manoj for buying the ' The Partner ' by John Grisham . Now I hadn't heard of Grisham before so the book was just lying there at home. One day I got bored and picked it up, that was the start of my love affair with Grisham and legal thrillers in general. This was the first John Grisham book I read and it was in a word mindblowing. I couldn't set the book down, my heart was racing away with Patrick Laniga...

So here I am sitting in office on a Saturday and wondering what to do…. I don’t mind sitting here though, everybody is so relaxed and nobody ever works, or maybe they do work, only it doesn’t seem like that. It’s actually quiet and peaceful; I guess everybody is pretending to work… like me. I have a huge list in my head about the things I want to do tomorrow, and going to the library tops that list. I just finished reading “Circle of Friends” by Maeve Binchy and I loved it. It’s a story about two girls who grow up together in a convent school and when its time to go to university in the big town of Dublin, they discover gradually that they can depend on each other and their convent school upbringing to see them through the trying times. It was beautifully written, and it struck so close to home. I picked up another M&B book along with this Binchy book and I am going to return it tomorrow without bothering to complete it. I read the first few pages and I wanted to find that author a...
