Project 365 2015: Week 18.

Hello! :) 

I am a little late getting this post up this week. I normally have these posts up on Thursday, but this last Thursday I was feeling a little listless and tired and I had to cook dinner and didn't have the energy to getting this post up. 

So here it is a little late but here never the less. 

This last week was a good one. 

Lots of reading. 
Chilling.
Hiding from the heat-wave.
Mango eating. 
Ice-cream treats. 
Comic books. 
Gossip session with my mom.
Movie watching. 
TV show season finales. 

All good things. 

Now let's see my week in pictures. 


Day  120: Our pile of stationery. My sister and I pile all our planners and journals in one place so we can get to them easily. The pink beauty is my sister's Kindle.


Day 121: A close-up of an artwork in my living room. Ganesha is beautiful in all his forms. 


Day 122: Watched this delightful movie and it was funny and heart-warming and full of nostalgia- it is set in 1995 and the cassettes, mixed-tapes and general 90s vibes was so on point. The movie seemed a little rushed in the end but overall was a very satisfying film. 
 

Day 123: A Hello Kitty mug lid that I am terrified of keeping in the kitchen lest my maid accidentally breaks it.  So I am using it to keep my sister's daily rings in one place.


Day 124: A sweet smelling candle lit under a diffuser with lavender oil that makes my whole house smell amazing. 


Day 125: My poor bunny also looks pooped in the summer heat. Poor doll looks like she is not enjoying summer at all. :( Can't blame her. I am not doing well with summer either. 


Day 126: My daily pendant lately. It's a Buddhist symbol known as the Endless Knot, which represents the entwining of wisdom and compassion. I love how beautiful this symbol looks and I have the same pendant in turquoise as well. This one is in coral.

I hope this current week is going well for you guys. 

See you again next week. :)

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...
