The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!  My sister was in Delhi for 2 days this week and got up to some low-key adventures.  She shopped and ate and hit up some old haunts of hers!  She also lived with our new friend M and chilled with her family and her little pup Coco.  These are some snapshots of her visit to one of her favourite cities.  My sister loves Delhi. She spent 3 happy years of college in Delhi and every time she goes back and she leaves a little bit of her heart in the capital.  :)  Delhi Metro is not just efficient, it is also very, very pretty! Look at this beautiful wall art outside of the Janpath Metro station.  You know how these Afghani earrings are all the rage now?! And all these Instagram stores are selling them for a minimum of Rs. 600?! Well, if you happen to go to Delhi, you can just get them for anywhere between Rs. 200-300 at Janpath or even GK M Block market.  They are not real silver, but they ar...

Hello!  Today instead of just sharing some of my recent favourites for Friday Favourites, I thought it was about time to do a long overdue post of my monthly favourites from February and March, which for some odd reason I've just forgotten to do entirely!  My bad!  I seriously had loved some things that I want to talk about on here.  So let's just hop into the things I've loved in February and March.  FEBRUARY 2017 FAVOURITES!  1. Journal Pages/// I am so in love with how the pages for my journal turned out in February. I love, love, love all of the elements of my journal decor!  Ah!  I am so proud of it.  February is my birthday month and is hands down my favourite month of the entire year and I wanted to do something special to mark it's beginning in my journal.  Almost all of the elements in this page are from my Planner Society Kit and some ephemera from an Etsy shop.  2. Closet...

Hello!  April is almost over and now it's time to share all of the books I bought in the month of April.  I bought all of these books in the beginning of the month from Amazon and I am so pleased with everything I've bought and I can't wait to jump into these books!  I got all of these books from Amazon and got such good deals on them! Nothing makes me bookish heart happy! :)  Let's see what I added to my bookshelves in April.  :)  Books Bought:  Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi  The Wife and The Beloved and Other Stories by Ashapurna Devi  Rain in the Mountains by Ruskin Bond  The Breakdown by B.A. Paris  A Meeting on the Andheri Overbridge by Ambai  City of Death by Abheek Barua  What I Was by Meg Rosoff  Umrao Jaan Ada by Mirza Hadi Ruswa  Ghost World by Daniel Clowes  Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean A Collection of graphic storie...

Hello!  I thought for today's post I'd do another batch of 25 Random Facts About Me.  I have quite a few new readers, so I thought this will be a good way to introduce myself to you and say Hey, welcome to my corner of the internet!  I've have one post like this before, you can read it HERE, I list 50 facts over there! :)  But let's jump on to some new random things about me!  1. I really wish I had better handwriting!  2. I hate taking my picture. I don't know how to pose and what to do with my hands. That's the main reason I have such few selfies on my Instagram and on here.  3. I'd rather be too cold than too hot!  4. I can't cook rice or make rotis!  5. I can cook pretty much everything else...well almost everything.  6. I love living alone and I think everyone needs to live alone for at least some time.  7. I am currently obsessed with Rose Sharbat! I drink at least a glass a da...

1. A new Favourite Bookmark// I picked up this hand carved bookmark from Colaba last week and I love it. I have always seen these bookmarks out and about but never picked one up before.  I love the little details and that painted elephant on top is the best.  2. A Favourite Quote I spotted on the menu of the Mockingbird Cafe. I am also glad I tried a new place and tried something new. Also, how adorable is the pizza illustration?!  3. Skirts/// Come summer and al I want to wear are loose and breathable clothes. Long skirts, palazzo pants and pants that could may as well be pyjamas!  I love this crushed skirt of mine, Earthy colours and a floral print.  It's from Fabindia.  4. Favourite Bag/// I love this very spring appropriate bag of mine. Pinks and blues and hints of green and turquoise, it pretty much goes with everything I wear!  :)  5. Journal Pages// Finally did my journal pages for April.  ...
