Off Traveling.



Hello! 

I write this post sitting in my parent's cozy home. I traveled for over 6 hours to get here, here is a tiny town in North of West Bengal. It's quaint, charming and full of family. I haven't been here in over two years and it's wonderful to be back! 

All I've done since being here is eat, drink tea, be spoilt rotten and sleep! 

It's properly cold here...since it's close to the hills and I love it! LOVE IT! I am wearing fuzzy socks, sweaters and wrapped in thick shawls. It's blissful. Bombay has no weather. So I am glad to be amidst winter. Yay! Yay! 

Blogging will go on as usual...hopefully...I have extended family here on both sides of the family so we tend to be very busy when we come here. Meeting people and spending time with family. But I intend on blogging the best I can. I also want to document my time here and the trips I plan to make while I am here. 

Se you soon! I am off to drink some coffee and eat some cookies :)

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...
