german winter!

thought i should share with you some quick photos from my trip to frankfurt. it was really cold when i got there..-16 degree C. took a long walk along the frozen river and it was beautiful!! see above pics from the walk :)

dream house no.2

umm i have posted about a my dream house before..here is another one..very different but yet i find there is a certain similarity.

i love eliza jane's Buenos Aires house. its wild, colourful and rustic. what i particularly love are the white walls with bold use of colour accents either in the doors or textiles...awesome!

a terrace with a hammock!! it'll be awesome in Delhi's winters to lie in the hammock outside when the sun is out! and look at those gorgeous colours above...i must must buy mittens before i leave for Germany on the 10th. Heimtex Fair in Frankfurt beckons!

A Very Happy New Year!

my first post in 2009 yippeee!
so lets begin with thinking about the year gone by, things done right and things done wrong. things that changed and those that didn't.

what did i do? i moved from gurgaon to delhi..it was a big change for me since i had gotten used to living alone in gurgaon and going back to delhi meant going back to living with family.. i redid my old small bedroom in the house where i live with my mom, grandmom, uncle and his daughter. my dad got posted to ahmedabad and that was the entire reason for this change.
its been 2 yrs in my present job...and its a big thing for me not being too bored here, even though the money isn't that great.
i learnt to stay committed to my boyfriend who left mid year for Singapore to further his education. three of my cousins got married and i had lots of fun prepapring and then attending the weddings..and well i started blogging in 2008 :)

all that i could have done but didn't in this year gone by is a lot and i must mention it here before its too late into 2009.
i could have started on my own and become an Independent Designer..but i didn't have the guts
i could have finished watching all the great movies my boyfriend left behind for me to watch
i could have read a lot many more books
i could have become more sensible with money
i could have learnt to control my tongue and temper and to think before i speak
i could have lost some more weight :)
i could have travelled...its a shame that i didn't travel at all last year.
i could have blogged some more...i could have added a co blogger..
i think i should stop here as the list has become too long..and i'll pat my back if at the end of 2009 i convert some of these "could haves" into "have done"..

a very happy new year!

The Wedding Season

Hi there!

i haven't posted in over a month now...its shameful i know but i have been really busy with three of my cousins deciding to get married within days of each other! so now i am back to routine and will hopefully be posting more regularly. all three weddings were a lot of fun and i finally got to wear the saree i had designed...yay!!!

heres a picture to show you how i looked in it and the link to the saree i had visualised on my computer..this post takes you to the raw material for my saree :)

The saree complete with a blouse costed me rs 7500 which is not so cheap but i think is worth it.

all the wedding shopping and endless trips to the boutiques for fittings etc was very exciting and i will be doing a post on that soon.

see ya!

Finally!

an interesting turn of events today...some excitement after very long...yayee yay!!:)
Lots of thoughts and questions rising inside...

ps: a heartiest and warm welcome to new readers!
