Hello Loves. 

I took some time off from Blogging. Life has been busy. I missed my Monthly Reading Wrap-Up for the first time ever in...years? 

Damn. 

I will get that up soon, promise. I read some nice books in March and I want to talk about them. Soon. That post is coming soon. 

I had just the best weekend. I went out, Bandra and SoBo- Bookshops, Cafes, Silver Shops and hanging with people and so much fun conversation and just good times. 

I am so happy. 

As much as I love being home, it's nice to step out, dress up and do things. 

:) 

Here are some glimpses of my life lately...



My Tuesday Sling from Chiaroscuro and I went out on town. 
She is tiny and fits a decent amount of stuff. 
Love wearing an armful of bangles. 


Ringsssss. 
Old favourites. 


Summer Fits. 
Yellow for Spring/Summer is a no brainer. 


15 floors up. 
Spent all of Friday on a terrace/balcony situation and it was glorious. 


Sweet things. 



Finally went into Napa Dori and bought a few treats and late birthday gifts for sis and me. 
:) 
Haul coming soon. 
We've been meaning to go to to Napa Dori for years but for some reason, usually because we end up there after closing time, we never went in. But on Saturday we made it a point to go see and get ourselves some goodies. 



Some Cheesecake. 


April has started on such a good note and I hope the rest of the month continues on such a happy note. 

💛💛💛💛💛

Have a fabulous April Loves. 

I hope it's just what you need it to be.

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...
