The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello!  And sorry this post is a little late.  Last week I was a little down and out, health wise, and couldn't sit down and edit pictures and have this post lined up in time. I am loads better now and it's time to look back on Week 9.  Let's jump right in... Day 57 of 366: Lemon Tart and Reading. I was reading Don't Let Him Know by Sandip Roy and loving it and this Lemon Tart was out of this world good! So yummy! Day 58 of 366: Fuller House. This day was all about binge watching this reboot of the classic Full House. I quite like it. Funny. Sweet and it's just so nice to re-visit with members of the Tanner family. From the new bunch of characters...I think baby Tommy is so cute. And I love, love, love the middle boy Max. He is adorable. I've seen upto episode 8 and I want to watch the remaining episodes soon too. Day 59 of 366: My sister's much loved and much used paints. These are the Koi Sakura paints that fit in he...

Hello!  I couldn't manage to get up my post for last week on time and so this week I am clubbing together the two weeks worth of recapping.  Week 7 was super special.  It had: Saraswati Pujo. Valentine's Day.  And.. My Birthday!  So I feel especially crummy for not being able to get the post up on time.  But better late than never.  Let's see what Week 7 of 2016 looked like in my world.  Day 43 of 366/// Something sweet. Actually a lot of sweet things at Le Pain Quotidien.  I had a delicious Chocolate Eclair.  Day 44 of 366/// Maa Saraswati in all her glory.  It was Saraswati Pujo, a day to celebrate The Goddess of Wisdom and Knowledge.  There was a proper pujo and bhog at our home in the hometown.  This is just the altar in our flat in Bombay.  Day 45 of 366/// Valentine's Day. And my Valentine of choice would always and forever be Sherlock..or if...

Hello!  Another week to look back on and recap.  This was a nice week.  My parents went back to our hometown after being with us for seven months. And it's been sad without them here and the house feels so empty.  But my folks are having such a nice time in hometown, they have friends, family, parties and many many things to fill their time and have fun.  We- the sister and I- have to get used to living on our own.  This week is also the week leading up to my birthday, so I've been treating my self in ways big and small.  Eating good food.  Buying books. Going to my favourite bookstore.  Being happy.  Let's see my week in pictures.  Day 36 0f 366/// My Maa's new saree, a gift for a dear family friend. Blue and hints of gold and silver woven in.  Day 37 of 366/// After a week of no reading I picked my next read with some care. I wanted to read something simple and happy yet profo...

Hello!  Another week has whizzed by and this was an interesting week. For the first time in forever, this was a no reading week for me. :) And this was done on purpose.  My parents are leaving on Monday for the hometown after being here for nearly 7 months and this week I wanted to be more present and not have my nose buried in a book.  So I spent time with my folks and went out with them and just did other things rather had read.  It was unsettling to not have a book on hand and a book I was in the middle of reading but it was nice too.  I had a lot of conversations.  Coloured.  Went out.  Got my fill of family gossip. Shopping with Dad--- we got him 3 sweaters! It's so sweet my dad is a bit of a Zara fan! :)  Let's see how my week looked like. Day 29 of 366/// Red and lovely. My nail paint of the week--one of my absolute favourite nail paints. Inglot Nail Enamel in the number 724. It's a gorgeous matte ...

Hello!  This post is a day old but my internet has been a total bitch this last week. Working haltingly and then not at all. Also I was in a terrible mood yesterday and didn't feel like blogging on a day when I wasn't feeling the best. So this weekly recap comes a day late.  This was a decent week.  Colours.  My parent's wedding anniversary.  Yum food.  Lots of colouring.  The end of January.  Let's see what I got upto this week.  Day 22 of 366: Roses! A bouquet of red roses at home from family friends. I love having fresh flowers at home.  Day 23 of 366: Pages, rather pages of my ebook. Process is messy. :)  The page is from Show Your Work! by Austin Kleon.  Day 24 of 366: Kismi Toffee! Remember these? I love these elaichi flavoured delights. And of course they remind of my childhood and how much I used to look forward to these treats.  Day 25 of 366: This has been a...

Hello!  This is my second attempt to document my year in photos. I tried and got to week 32 last year and then tragedy struck...digital tragedy. My laptop crashed and I lost of 6 months worth of pictures and was left heartbroken and lost my photo sharing/documenting mojo.  But it made me very sad to have abandoned a project I cared about so much.  I knew I wanted to try again this year and I complete it.  I love a couple of things about this project with a very simple premise, a picture a day to document your day and have a picture for every day of the whole year.  I love that I get to use my camera more often. Document things big and small.  Have my whole year documented in picture form.  So with good vibes and high hopes I want to start my Project 365...or should it be Project 366 since this is a leap year.  Let's see my First Week of 2016.  Day 1 of 366: I spent a large and happy portion of my day se...
