Project 365 2016: Week 3.

Hello! 

Another week is done and it's time to see what I got up to in this 3rd week of the year. 
This week was a mixed bag...
I wasn't feeling the best...health-wise.
I read such nice books..re-read my first book of 2016.
Enjoyed winter!
Spend time with my folks. 
Coloured to my heart's content. 
:) 

Let's see my week in pictures. 





Day 15 of 366: Peppermint Tea for my sister.
Cold winter nights are perfect for Tea and reading.
Love this Peppermint Herbal Infusion...a great way to soothe your tummy if it's feeling unwell.


Day 16 of 366: Washi Tape Haul.
We love us some Washi Tape and these new loves make our collection very lovely.


Day 17 of 366: Winter induced dry skin is made so much more bearable with this heavenly Body Butter from Forest Essentials. Love how great this smells...and how it leaves my skin silky smooth and well nourished for an entire day. I highly recommend it.


Day 18 of 366: My reading material for this gone week. Very Bengali-centric reading. Loved both of these books immensely. A very satisfied reading week! :)


Day 19 of 366: A slice of orange.
A delightfully cute magnetic bookmark from Kikkik that I love. I also love oranges and the Nagpur oranges that we get in the winter are so tasty.


Day 20 of 366: A page of my journal dedicated to Tea and quotes about Tea.
This is another of my favourite Teas..The Fabindia Black Fruit Tea. So delicious, I like to brew a batch and chill it and serve it over ice in the summer.


Day 21 of 366: A ring I wore all week long. This was a gift from my mother for my birthday couple of years ago. I love the little fish and the etched details of the ring.

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...
