Friday Favourites: Books, Bag, Bombay Local and General Cute.


1. Cute handmade plushie dolls. I don't think that there will ever be a time where I will not love cute toys. I am a full-grown adult but I still melt at the thought of cute dolls and things. I refuse to grow-up! These two sweeties I got from Etsy a couple of years ago from a girl in Australia who makes adorable things!


2. A cute little notebook that I honestly don't have the heart to write in. 


3. Bombay Local Trains are a beast. Crowded but fast. Full of people but the best spot for some uninterrupted people watching.  I took local trains daily for 7 years of college and then Grad school. I loved it. I know how strange that sounds but I really did...


4 & 5. Scenes from a book-shop. The Tidal Waves book-shop in Bandra. I don't go here very often but when I do, I like to browse for a bit and then get some coffee at read and decide on which books I want to bring home with me. 

Sadly, I left the Bukowski book behind! Silly me!

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
