General Whimsy: Endlessly Charming.

Hello! 

Just want to share some things that I find endlessly charming...
Hope you are having a restful Saturday and are all set for  good weekend! 
:) 


1. Mumbai at takeoff. A city wrapped in clouds and covered in raindrops. Makes even harsh realities a little softer. Or maybe it's just me. Maybe rains manage to soothe and comfort my heart into seeing everything prettier. 


2. Llamas on a tote bag. 
I shall we thoroughly disappointed if I were to exit this planet without having had the good fortune of meeting one of these darling creatures in person. They look so fluffy! Please God, make this wish come true. Send a llama or two my way. 
Tote bag from Accessorize, bought on super sale via Jabong. 
:) 
Now isn't that endlessly charming. 


3. Benedict Cumberbatch. 
In a TV show. 
In a film. 
On a book cover. 
I'd find him endlessly charming if I met him in a smelly barn. 
This man is a dreamboat! 


4. Books with illustrations in them. 
This full page illustration is from Snow and Rose by Emily Winfield Martin that I read earlier in the month and loved. 
Seen here are Rose and Snow and their mother going to the village market. All bundled up in coats looks charming as hell. 


5. Cute little fat bird! 
This thicc beauty is a little tote (I am having a totes tote moment!) that my sister picked up from By Loom, Kolkata. Look at their darling faces! 
So freaking cute. 


6. Anything Rifle Paper Co. to me is endlessly charming. Their art and aesthetic is one of my favourite things ever. 
This pouch from Lyra and Co. is so beautiful and well-made, I just need to decide how I want to use it. 
A pencil pouch maybe?! 

Have a good weekend guys!

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...

Review: Grandma's Bag of Stories by Sudha Murthy.

Book: Grandma's Bag of Stories Author: Sudha Murthy Pages: 176 Read On: Paperback How Long It Took Me Read: 2 hours Plot Summary:   When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around. Who can resist a good story, especially when it’s being told by Grandma? From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods. Here comes the bear who ate some really bad dessert and got very angry; a lazy man who would not put out a fire till it reached his beard; a princess who got turned into an onion; a queen who discovered silk, and many more weird and wonderful people and animals. Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a...
