Dreaming of the Osaka Sun | Outfit


I believe this is what reading too many Japanese novels does to you.
Now take me to the streets of Harajuku somebody!

And someone bring me back to India.

Until then, I will try perfecting those buns - the responses to which were rather amusing on my Instagram page!

One with the Mountains | Outfit



The portion above the hills enveloped by a dense pageant of clouds is where the mighty Mt. Kangchenjunga stands in all its pristine beauty. Waking up to the view of lofty snow capped mountains as a child, I could never appreciate the essence of it as much as I do today. Unfortunately, rainy days give way to a sky of clouds obstructing the usual panorama and I am too lazy to wake up at dawn to get a glimpse! After years of being away from the hills, every time I come back home, I am taken aback by the picturesque scenes and find myself wanting to capture everything around me; much to the surprise of my cousins and myself! There were days when as a child, I'd mimic the tourists who flocked around trying to osmose every bit of the enthralling landscape. Little did I know I'd be doing the same a few years down the line.

Nearing Navy | Outfit


Before I discovered a gem of a cafe/bookstore a few hundred yards away from home, I was out strutting the absolutely deserted road to the beat of silence. Now I don't know if the latter is even possible; but it did transpire in that manner. This, and then the cafe thereafter. For one who spends most of her time indoors, the day turned out to be quite gratifying.
*Productive*
I believe I like the sound of that better.

One Rainy Day | Photo Diary



Something about the sound of the rain makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside. And now that I'm back home, I have the pleasure of waking up and falling asleep to natural music every single day. June in Sikkim spells perpetual drizzles and until the sun allows for some outdoor activity - which is highly unlikely - the pictures above pretty much sum up how I spend my days here. [Add a cup of tea!]
Cozying up indoors is my perfect idea of spending the much ironic summer break, but Delhi's quota of sunshine and heat has me overdosed for now.
In addition, I am finally wearing all the pairs of pretty socks which have been unwillingly stocked for too long. And, and, and - the layering, mothers old vintage finds and all that jazz are back- more on that in the posts to come. Let me bid farewell for now, I need lessons from the sister on mastering the fascinating tiny instrument. When I say mastering, I mean being able to play more than just one song on it. Sigh! More soon.
