Wedding shopping...

Image
By
My sister was here recently and we scoured the city for clothes and ornaments for her upcoming wedding. Here are a few pictures from her brief visit...  
This was our breakfast everyday, plain juicy mangoes... summer's saving grace.
Met the cousins at St. Thomas Cathedral...
Where a memorial mass was held...
to honour...
our beloved grand parents, Ubald and Pauline Kostka who exemplified a beautiful life in God. 
Celebrated Michelle's birthday...

Shopped for sarees...
The white wedding saree on display...
shopped for more sarees...
Tried on all sorts of gold ornaments...
Visited cotton street and got yelled at by this man... apparently my superior bargaining skills raised his hackles. 
Nice place to buy running material...

Took respite in a slice of cheesecake...

and a smoked bacon sandwich.

All in all it was a great couple of days...

The dude yelled at you and then you actually took a pic of him? ha ha.. He does kinda look pissed off. I should have done that as well - would have been perfect to put up in the blog :D

Ganesh, yeah that earring cracked us up... can't believe people actually buy such stuff.

Gibsy, yeah... I kinda thought he would throw something on my head while I was clicking that picture. Anyway, I took it and walked away quickly.

Mahesh, do come for the wedding.

Veronica, thanks... I guess you will know more with my recent post.

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....

Amethyst in Chennai - A Review

By
After Sarangi , we stopped by Amethyst another boutique store at Whites Road (quite close to Express Avenue Mall), Royapettah. This is a cool posh place hidden from the bustling din of the main road, and the entry way itself seems to transport you to another time and place far away from the cacophony of a busy city life. Once you step into this land overflowing with (wild) shrubbery, you'll find a flower shop, a jewellery cum clothing store and a colonial styled coffee hangout place. The entrance... with shrubs on either side. A giant urn among the shrubbery.  A little fountain in the garden... The jewellery and clothing boutique is located upstairs and even though the whole arrangement looks nice and inviting, I couldn't really find anything worth buying here.   An art piece at the store... The clothes seemed drab and messily complicated, like some new age fashion for the artsy / socialite types. It's not something your normal next door perso...

Raining on a Sunday.....

By
Last Sunday was beautiful, it was pouring the entire day and we couldn't go out anywhere, though we did go to church, and came back soaking wet. We (Tonio, his cousins and me) decided to spend the evening baking a cake. This is the nut cake and the strawberry cake we baked. I was actually surprised the nut cake came out well, cause I made it without a recipe. I had to give it away to people though, cause Tonio doesn't like nuts and I didn't want to eat the whole thing and put on weight. I can't wait to go back home and start baking again for Christmas. P.S: The baking utensils I am using here were given to me by Judith Aunty for my wedding and I love them. On an unrelated note, I read this in the paper today. "Dhoni has reassured us that he is no Samson and that locks or no locks he can still plunder runs". He does look even more dashing with his new haircut.... doesn't he?
