Friday Favourites : A Little Road-Trip Plan and Prep~ Bags & Camera.

Hello Loves! 

Today has been all about getting ready and prepped for a little road-trip. 

I haven't left my house in over a year, barring one day to travel from Bombay to here, the hometown in West Bengal. 

I walked in here on 2nd October and haven't left the house since. 

At all.

For anything. 

So after all this time I am being a little brave and venturing out to explore the hills tomorrow. 

Not staying anywhere, just driving up the hills and coming back after a little sight seeing and rejuvenating. 

I am so ready. 

I am also worried that I may have forgotten how to be around people. 

And I am worried that we'll be surrounded by idiots! 

Uff! 

But I need to get out and be around people lest I entirely forget how to be social. Not that I was the epitome of being a social butterfly..but still. 


 

Packed my Instax to click some pictures. 

Charged my big camera for the first time in a year. 

Poor thing it must be wondering where I'd disappeared. 


Sister packed her bag, she's carrying this jhola from iTokri which will comfortably fit her Kindle, phone and a spare shawl. 


I am carrying two bags. 

One sling to hold my essentials. 

The Wednesday Sling from Chiaroscuro

:) 

And this new tote bag from Karubasona. It's a portrait tote that will hold an extra sweater and my two cameras. 

:) 


They sorta match don't they? 



Potential outfits. 

Dress from Okhai. 

Bag from Chhoti Si Asha. (not carrying this one since it doesn't have much give.) 

But they do look so good together. 

Wish me luck and I will be back with some snapshots of a little day-trip.

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.
