My sister's beautiful Hobonichi Techo and a glimpse into her pencil bag.
Journaling is such a good way to deal with all the uncertainty and angst of right now.
My favourite time of day.
Seriously, the only thing I like about summer in Bombay are the glorious sunsets and the blue skies and the mad beautiful sunshine.
Also, loving how cute and utterly ridiculously my bed looks like now.
Rose Milkshake.
All you need is..
Milk
Vanilla Ice-Cream
Rose Sherbat
Throw it all in a blender and mix mix mix.
Add a couple of ice-cubes if you want your milkshake extra chilled.
What my sister and I read over the weekend.
I read The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi, this is pick for Reese Witherspoon's book club. It sounded right up my alley.
Plot Summary: Escaping from an abusive marriage, seventeen-year-old Lakshmi makes her way alone to the vibrant 1950s pink city of Jaipur. There she becomes the most highly requested henna artist—and confidante—to the wealthy women of the upper class. But trusted with the secrets of the wealthy, she can never reveal her own…
Known for her original designs and sage advice, Lakshmi must tread carefully to avoid the jealous gossips who could ruin her reputation and her livelihood. As she pursues her dream of an independent life, she is startled one day when she is confronted by her husband, who has tracked her down these many years later with a high-spirited young girl in tow—a sister Lakshmi never knew she had. Suddenly the caution that she has carefully cultivated as protection is threatened. Still she perseveres, applying her talents and lifting up those that surround her as she does.
I read it pretty much all weekend long and really enjoyed this world, it's people and seeing Lakshmi's often riddled with challenges life.
Rating: 4/5
The Murder Game by Rachel Abbott: My sister read this book in like one sitting over the course of an evening.
Plot Summary: A year ago today, we all gathered for Lucas's wedding at his glorious Cornish home overlooking the sea.
But no one was married that day.
Now Lucas has invited us back to celebrate the anniversary. But the anniversary of what? The wedding that never happened, or the tragedy that occurred just hours before the ceremony was due to begin?
He's told us that tonight he has planned a game. We have our costumes, we have our parts, and everyone must play. The game, he tells us, is about to begin.
What does Lucas want from us? What are we not being told? And what's going to happen when this terrible game is over?
My sister loved this book. It was unputdownable. She'll be doing a full review on here very soon.
More sunset scenes.
Hope you are doing well.
My plan for the rest of today is to pick a new book to read.
Clean all my grocery items that are getting delivered today.
Make sambhar.
Make my living room bed nook more cozy and comfortable.

Hope this Monday is treating you well.
