My passions! jewelry and more

Life has changed manifold since the last post. Looking back, days went by in minutes. The Queen celebrated her 60th anniversary while somewhere someplace Cheyenne'11 celebrated its 10th. Instagram has made the world a smaller place (literally, with its 1:1 size). Rupee weakened against the dollar. Segways are introduced in India. Did you say 4Lakhs?! Somehow buying a ticket to Germany, renting it for 15Euros/hour, returning back gives me more utility. Leisure is now a luxury while day dreaming is no longer an option.  Lessons learned. When asked, talking about yourself is boring. At the same time, summing up 20yrs of your life under the scrutiny of judgemental eyes,  in words that could give a complex to Obama is no less challenging. And then the lesser important ones like, the fake Longchamp bags doing the rounds is blasphemy to a loyalist. And whichever fashion guru said ‘wear what you feel’ certainly hasn’t tasted ...

Summer's here & it's so hot in bombay. Current obsession: whites & pastel shades. Either which ways, it does reflect in whatever i make. Thought i'd share a design from my new collection.   NEWS OF THE WEEK : For all those people who were waiting for Richard Gere to finally go senile, congratulations, you need not wait any longer. The man is in need & I'm sending him a dvd of Pretty Woman to revive his memory, or maybe he's just doing modesty... wrong? He called it a 'silly romcom' His raison d'etre- 'it glorifies the wall street financiers' Sorry Richard, you got it all wrong...

  Just when i thought i've had my share, 

The title is an influence of the recurring nature of Ks in ms.Kashyap at Kochi in Kerala while the former was just her, kidding. Never mind I missed my much sought after icon, Anna Dello Russo just by a week, I was still looking forward to Kerala. For a north Indian going down south is an adventure in itself especially if months of tedious monotony(read: an arduous cycle of waking up to worldly pursuits & going to sleep) have tired her. So I was back again in this exciting place. The cinema leaves me inquisitive & the food is sumptuous leaving me ravenously appetitive... Inconsistent as it may sound but ships in Kochi go to & fro like it’s nobody’s business! The continuous flow of integrated logistics all through the night, quite apparent from my window had me rapt. I was busy counting ship containers being lifted by cranes as tall as buildings. How something as mechanical could be this beautiful! Then again here was someo...

I’m the kind of person who finds her foot in the puddle more often than not! It’s called waking up on the wrong side of the bed! Days when... --- I, already having run into a news reporter in my bid to speak to a corporate bigwig, I raced to meet this formidable man in my heels later realizing that if my speed per footstep had increased even by a fraction, I would've, much to the entertainment of media and corporate guests, had a head-on collision with HIM! --- I happened to meet my professor after a few years only to realize that having asked him “You’re STILL teaching at xyz classes?” is not the least bit polite. --- I, in my sheer innocence (& a little bit of blindness) usually end up mistaking a random guy as a salesman while in the store! --- in a Q&A round, telling an international singer to do an album with Gareth Gates, just because I was fond of him. Yes I was 11 & I was telling HER, Tata You...

(luckily minors can't be charged or we'd be guilty for an offense) One of the few days when my mom is grateful for the OCD that strikes in me, I take to cleaning my drawer, which like always, brings out fossils. But this time it was different... I couldn’t bring myself to throw this valuable fossil. It reminded me of my childhood spent with partner in crime- my sister! For most part of my life that I’ve lived with my sister we’ve fought just like other siblings on trivial things …and there it was in front of my eyes, so easy for me to grab… for she would never know about them going MISSING… But it became meaningless now for I didn’t have to share it with her… (in economic terms- their marginal cost had reduced to nothing) We would scrupulously divide our odd number of jelly sweets so that neither of us (even by God’s intervention) got a millimeter extra. What love! Those were the small things in life… nonetheless they created memories. Which brings me back to why I started th...

Never seen you shine so bright Never seen so many people wanting to be there by your side & when you turn to me and smile you took my breath away ...lady in red  The whole idea of a woman wearing red is so glamourized… how some dresses can give us wings to fly! So when a lotus-eater like me starts dreaming, you know that her mind will dangerously wander to other things- ball gowns, red carpet gowns, cocktail dresses, prom dresses, sundresses, dinner dresses... starting an all together new list of wants. And I make this list after a hearty session of shopping. Considering that i'm skilled at finding the levity of any situation, i'll say it’s ok! people commit bigger sins. 1. The Exculpable Red dress I’m talking no ordinary dress here but only ‘Valentinos’. A red gown can serve as an excuse for ANYTHING! Even if you're the one that stole candy from a kid. From the designer whose red gowns are his magnum opus. They can even make a mannequin dance. ...
