We Think We Have Time.

The trouble is we think we have time - Buddha

Its such a short and simple line with the meaning staring at us in the most honest sense however we steadfastly deny to accept it on its face.
We live for tomorrow, we are ingrained to think about future about past mistakes.
We seldom live in today. Whatever we do its always for the betterment of future never today. Honestly, who will see tomorrow do we know. Do we even know how much will we live and in what condition. Then why dont we live in today.
I take rest today and not on the weekend. I deserve that chocolate today. Let me wear the nice dress today and not save it for a special occassion. Take that vacation, learn new things, spend quality time with loved ones.
Who knows how much time do we have. So I will make my time beautiful now. Live life fully now. Not holding grudges, forgiving now, exercising now, loving now, Living now cause time is just a mirage and we are caught in its magic.
Plan for tomorrow but live today.
Don't think about what can happen in a month or a year. Just focus on today and make it beautiful, do the best you can to reach where you want to be cause all we have is now. So why take anyone and anything for granted. Life is unpredictable but beautiful nevertheless, its precious and so are we.
Let everyday be like the last day ever and life certainly will be big if not long and beautiful.
On that note I am sharing an outfit close to my heart and style and easy breezy look in my favorite shade pink and its a pale pink.

Recluse or Self Love ?

Hello guys, happy new year, we are well in 2018  and I am tad bit too late in my first blog post that went up now almost in the end of January.

What should I say just that I am playing recluse . Well yes that's another facet of mine.

I like to go in my shell from time to time and just hibernate and do nothing at all.

Does that happen to you ? Sometimes I feel I am this weirdo living alone. However I love my own company and the perks of just being by yourself. Listening to the thoughts in your head, dancing to your own music and weaving beautiful dreams or simply the joy of not doing anything at all or just doing things, how and when you please if you please. From childhood, I love to be left on my own. I use to love it when everyone use to go somewhere and leave me alone at home at the pretext of studying even if that meant locked in the house. Well, I use to make a simple snack for myself, cold coffee, read a book or watch my favourite movie (nothing fancy) which still continues today. But the magic of being alone adds this charm to the whole experience.

I love being with my own self and making myself feel special.

Does it happen to you, do you understand the urge of having your own space and enjoying your own company from time to time or am I the only recluse here ? or should I say basking in self love. 

and with that a simple casual outfit for a day at the mall. 

TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF IS THE FIRST SECRET TO HAPPINESS

Why I Like Only A Closed Few Around

I am not shy neither am I introvert in fact I mingle with people in no time. When I go out to a new place or party I gel around pretty easy and then i just leave it to that. A nice time spent in that moment. Its not that I don't like people, its just that I don't want unnecessary drama in my life. I believe in the great philosophy that even if you have few closed people you can count on your fingers you are lucky and blessed. After all according to another great one you are sum of characteristics of closed people in your life. So I chose wisely rather I connect with people not that easily.

I believe in every one comes in your life for a reason and for a time so enjoy that and learn from them. Let them go without holding grudges or stretching things till they get bad. Sometimes you grow up or you just become a different person and status quo of the relationship changes - then instead of holding on, learn to live with good memories. After all decluttering is required in every aspect of your life. Don't get me wrong I don't judge, I just live life and its a short one, I want to be happy and so why complicate it with people who don't add to the beauty of it. Keep it simple na .. hence a closed few of my circle keep me sane .

Simply Complex or no ?

It's been a long long time that we chatted up ... and I am so sorry for that. Honestly I am caught up in a huge project which is really close to my heart. Very soon I shall share with you where I was lost.

But today I just felt like catching up with you guys, rather I itched to write to you, craved to blog. In this long time I honestly had a writer's block where I didn't feel like writing and just wanted to focus on my project but today all of a sudden it just felt empty not to chat with you all . 

So long story short here I am.. 

I realised that I am simply complex or complex simple and then I remembered a quote from Marlyn Monroe .... 

I think I am a mixture of Simplicity and Complexes but I am beginning to understand myself more now - Marlyn Monroe 

And I just left it at that. 

On a lighter note the monsoon is tantalising and leaving us asking for more .... the weather is beautiful ... sometimes brutal but pretty nevertheless ...

Simple outfit to conquer the complexities.
I love the t-shirt denim days.

Lessons learnt in 2016

This post was pending since sometime now...
The year just went by in a wink and we have already welcomed 2017 with arms wide open and aplomb but not without a big Thank You to 2016.
As

NOTHING EVER GOES AWAY UNTIL IT HAS TAUGHT US WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW - Prema Chodron

2016 gave me many a things - highs, lows, beautiful moments as well as heartfelt lows. Above all it taught me life lessons in a short go.....
Just felt like sharing them with you guys...
So here they are -

• Slay and hustle like no ones business

Nothing and I mean nothing in life comes for free, whatever you want you need to work your ass to achieve it. There are no shortcuts but only work that takes you ahead. So hustle and slay till have it, whatever it takes.

• Whatever happens is destined look back join the dots

Don't be sad if things don't work out as per you, everything happens for a reason and no matter how cheesy it sounds - Look back on your life and you will realise whatever happens - there is a reason. Join the dots and you will get the bigger picture.

• When one Door closes it gives you the clarity that you are supposed to chose the other.

Be positive and weigh the pros in any situation. If something doesn't work out or goes your way, you get the clarity to do things in a better light.

• When people start doing what you do consider you are on the right track.

This I did understand but took some time to sink in. Don't get annoyed if people actually ditto copy you but take pride in yourself that you are someone's role model and helping them out without them knowing it. You are bringing in a change for the good someone's life. If you are doing something right people will copy you. Have faith in yourself and keep working hard cause now you know you are good and you need to better yourself.

• Live in the moment for the past and future are distant, present is your present to yourself enjoy it.

Live now, nothing is permanent. Grasp the moment cause you never know.

• Health is important...

you can enjoy life to the fullest If you are healthy.. take care of yourself on every level. Physical, holistically, aesthetically..

• Take pride in yourself

Always look back and think you are much ahead than where you were. Appreciate yourself.

• Attitude of Gratitude (most important)

Be Humble, be grateful for your life and whatever you have.

I Am a boho at heart... free wanderer .. I keep giving adjectives to myself... but why tag

This was all from me..
So welcoming this 2017 But keeping 2016 in lessons learnt... 

Until we meet again..

Goa Vibes

Its the holiday season and everyone is in a merry mood. Its time to celebrate, its time to travel, see new places, take a break and unwind. Its time to pamper yourself and be happy.

For many living in India especially in Maharashtra or the neighbouring states or even abroad - its Goa time.

This loved place is always charming but come the holiday winter season its sparkling like a diamond.

Perfect and peak time to go to Goa.

We just had our share of Goa some time back but I am here again thinking of it and craving the Goan food, sandy beaches and beautiful people and laid back life.

While I plan my next holiday just giving you a peek in my Goa diaries outfit.

You can also check out more Goa post on travelling, stay, food to plan that perfect vacation.

Romantiscizing in Blue

As my Instagram family must be knowing and would have seen my insta story and posts it was our wedding anniversary.
I am super Romantic and small loving gestures and little nothings sweep me off my feet.
A perfect fairy tale in everyday life is what keeps me going.
So in the same pursue we set off on our anniversary to chase my fairy tale dreams as  always.
With my prince charming by my side we embarked on our journey through mountains and valleys, through forests and trails.
We both are spontaneous people and love to go with the flow without any guidelines or time and this again like last year Wine trip was an unplanned spur of the moment decision. Which we really enjoyed.
So our Journey took us through winding roads

Straight to the magical Le Meridien Mahabaleshwar. This is such a gorgeous property. Its like an Old Victorian villa in the woods. Set in the forests you can just be mesmerised by mountains peaking from all sides and cool winds enveloping you being filtered by the tall trees carrying the fragrance of forest mist.
I could just sit here all day not doing anything but taking in the views.

For me romance means twirling in gowns, flowy drapes and rich hues.
I love maxi dresses and I think nothing is more romantic than twirling in them.
The colour royal blue is one of my favourites somehow I romanticize it - think Santorini ,,,, That's what blue dreams are made up of.

so here am I twirling and musing in blue...
