Quick Refreshing Coconut Mocktail / Cocktail for the Summer.

Easy drink to refresh and rejuvenate this summer along with boosting your immunity in a yummy way.

Hello March ...

Hi Guys, how are you all?
I am good and I know I have been kind of MIA in Feb. As you all know Feb is my favorite month and I was busy celebrating myself 😍😉
However that wasn't the only reason to keep me busy there was more.
As elections were there in this month and I coming from a political family was doing my bit. Now even if that was bot the case I still believe its we who bring the change. Hats off to the leaders for baring it all and wearing the weather and all the pressure and stress and still being there out for us guys .. let me tell you being a leader is no easy job .. lots to sacrifice ... that's if its the right kind of leader.
I did whatever I could and which was not too much, being the delicate darling that I am. I did less and fell ill more ... thanks to the extreme heat ... coming back to that in some time. However it was all worth it in the end.
Coming back to the heat ... March is here...

Hello March !! 

Hello Spring ........ 🍁
The poetry that nature does ... Orange ink of budding flowers on the blue hues of unending notes of sky.... the brawny brown holding them together at their respective places ..
How beautiful are you .....  I Love the flaming Buds against the clear blue skies.... don't you ?

Btw we were facing extreme temperature since Feb. I really don't know what summer holds for us this time ...
I am keeping my fingers crossed but going by the looks of it .. it looks like one harsh one coming for us ...
For that I kinda prepared myself a bit .. Hold your breath - some of you must have seen it in my birthday celebrations video

 which was fab by the way however for those who don't know - I chopped my hair before my Birthday and I went shortest ever since the time i started growing my hair long from my boy cut ( that's a long story for some other time).
Lots of people were shocked on my decision of going so short after having such a long mane but me being me ( rebel )
I go like my hair my way ... it will grow back eventually .. why stress so much ... its just hair ... and its one life ... do whatever you want... hai na 🤗
So here's my new look ...
The day I cut my hair...

Earlier 

Now.

Do you like it ? 

I feel it gives an edge. I like it, it has so many pros especially easy to manage and maintain ( I oil my hair more regularly now) however honestly i do miss my long mane... 

I don't regret my decision at all though, I am enjoying my short hair till they last which already have started growing. 

On another note ... March has already begun and I Love summer for the summery holiday vibes, long balmy nights, cool drinks, vacations, mangoes, nimbu paani, beaches, picnics and many of my favorite things.

For all summer fun 

Summer also means cool vibrant tones as well as pastels, big tropical and fun prints.

Comfort at its best. 

First thing i did was to change my nail paint and I just wanted to go a bit pastel a bit less bright.

I chose the last shade by Nyc .

May be i should apply another coat. 

Next time i will go for a bright summer shade but the summer definitely started on shimmery summer pastels. 

Talking about summer favorites. No sooner than summer arrived I pulled another gem out of the treasure trove. 

I was feeling a bit ... a lot low today .. so i whipped up a tall glass of Lassi sweet curd smoothie topped with some malai ( cream) and removed another jewel from my shelf .... I enjoyed the lassi and let the magic of Bond work wonders on my soul... and it sure did ... within minutes of getting lost in this treasure the umpteenth time... the words just soothed me and i never knew when i enveloped into dreams and napped like a baby ... The charm of Ruskin Bond ...

The power of the small little favorite things working wonders ... Do what you like ... what you love ... even if its the small little things .. for life is one big chapter made up of these small little simple things ...

 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁 #theseareafewofmyfavouritethings

Summer is made up of these Ruskin Bond stories don't you feel so .. 

There is so much to catch up with you guys .. but I don't want to bombard everything at one go... lets keep loads of stuff for future. 

For today I guess this will suffice.

Until we meet again.

Enjoy the summer and stay hydrated.

I so love to talk to you guys. ❤❤❤

Beautiful Journeys

I have realized one thing that I love journeys more than the destination. I look forward and plan for days together for the same and I am excited to embark on my journey every single time with enthusiasm. Honestly in my heart I crave for the journey to just go on and on. Journey to me is a discovery always in progress. 

Journey is the present which I don't want to let go for the future destination. I like to enjoy it to the fullest while it lasts. To explore the hidden treasures it promises.

It's not about quickly getting to the destination, it's about exploring the journey whilst you get there.

We miss beautiful things on our way in the quest of our destination. And these moments, beauty and experiences make the entire process complete and surreal - unforgettable memories ( just like Life )

According to me - Destination is the finale, the end point of journey and journey is laid with pathways leading to innumerable possibilities and destinations. 

And isn't life itself a journey and not a destination...... With this thought I leave you to embark on many more journeys filled with numerous possibilities.. 

Very aptly said indeed -- it's about the journey and not the destination. 

One such journey --- ❤️❤️

Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it -Greg Anderson

My Summer shopping Cart and Best Deals

Summer is here. It's time to update the closet with summery prints colours and fabrics and enjoy the season in true style.

A peep in my first shopping trip for this Summer. 

Headed to Jabong.com for some theraupatic shopping from my cool pad. Join me as I decide what to buy from my shopping cart.

Two things I can't separate is summer and floral. I am all about floral love. It makes me feel so cheerful. 

I guess both the tees have their charm. The first one goes perfect with ripped denims, beige trousers and shorts. I can see myself in some funky flip flops, shorts and a tote. 

This second one will look oh so gorgeous with midi skirts or full length ones. A dainty sling or with shorts, boho back pack and sneakers. 

This one will be perfect for official work. 

Summer vests (ganjis) are another one of my favorite. They are so cool, comfy and have a laid back vibe. Plus point being they also come with funky prints, I love this first one . 

Quite catty I must say :p 

I am a bit Boho and free spirited. 

I love showing this side off often. This boho collection in my cart is quite vibrant and colourful. I am definitely going to mix and match them with shorts, palazzos, skirts, leggings, dhoti pants ... 

Summer for me is all about fun, floral, quirky prints, vibrant colours and romantic dresses. 

This one is perfect for an afternoon lunch or tea party. 

This one is so cute for girly brunches, shopping trips. 

Cute date ❤️

Romancing nature. This one is my favorite. ❤️❤️

Maxis are another must have. 

I am a nature lover and I turn towards natural prints almost every single time. 

This is the only maxi I truly liked. I guess we can always cover it in another shopping trip. 

Comfortable and free flowing silhouettes are a blessing.

No matter what season, plaid is a classic and a must have. Pumping the style with some sunny summery Canary yellow 😊

I chose some funky accessories to brighten my outfits. 

I so want to shop more however I just realised its lots that I am indulging in at one go... Huh ..

Not wanting to let go off any of my finds I was hunting for deals online. Thank my stars, I got a great discount coupon through cuponation online.

A little bit of kindness this Summer

Summer is here, it's just the beginning and the temperature are soaring. Everyone just needs a respite from this blistering heat. One doesn't want to venture out of the comfort of the home owing to the scorching sun. However the birds and stray animals brave the heat without any option.

These poor things fall victim to dehydration. They are instances of birds collapsing due to dehydration. 

With one small deed we can make a difference. 

Please put water outside your home or society for stray animals in clay pots or containers of no value which the animals can easily reach and have a drink. 

One can have water baths for the birds on the terrace, window sill, balcony for the little creatures as a small respite from heat. 

Keep a dish or container with a depth not more than1-2 inches so that they can easily have a quick dip, drink water and refresh themselves. 

One can keep some bird feed, simple grains, for the birds to enjoy a complete meal. 

A little bit of plants around will make your outdoors a sanctuary for birds and you will be surprised by the myriad visitors you get. The space will also cheer you up and will be your own little oasis a respite from the heat as well as the concrete jungle. 

If it's not possible, just keep a dish of water and be a saviour for the little creatures. 

Simple bird baths you can keep -

This is my Bird Bath - 

Please be generous and share water. 

A little gesture will help many. 

Enjoy the summer.

Cane House

Summer is here for good and the temperatures are soaring high. The best way to beat the heat is to stay hydrated sipping on favorite cooling juices. Nothing beats a big glass of cool sugarcane juice in the hot summer season. It's the good old favorite drink for all.

Cane house situated in the heart of model colony is an oasis of trees giving respite from the road outside. It's like you have stepped into a new work altogether. Green plants and rustic tables made of bricks greet you. A small place but crowded with youngsters, couples, families and oldies alike. All enjoying their famous yummy and fresh sugar cane juice served in jumbo glasses. Have one and you are sorted. They also serve some mouth watering snacks as well as juices and shakes. It is quite light on the pocket and appeals the taste buds highly. 

One can sit here for hours and enjoy the peace , quiet and chirping of birds. But those thinking of going there for a juice over meeting, think twice they strictly do not entertain meetings :) it's a super relax and laid back place strictly to unwind.
Come fall in love with this hidden place.
Its all about raw nature so expect no frills. Fun and food unedited.

Their veg cheese maggi is yummy.

hot Bhajias with chilled juice- Thumb's up

Let me know your reviews.
