Had been a while since I have posted a blog, I guess writers block keeps coming back before it is finally gone. Right now I don't have time and resources to blog so often. Time - because I reach home at around 10ish, then dinner, family gup shup and before I realize the clock s already showing midnight. And yes after that I doze off. My laptop screen s not working so I cannot blog so often at home. I somehow don’t find using internet also so convenient (thank God at least it is there). Without a wireless there is not much freedom to blog. Once I am back home I think I would be more frequent in updating these blogs.
Next month I complete 1 year of my wonderful and blessed married life. Planning to keep a low keynote about it, just close family friends. I know most of the people wonder isn’t anniversary meant to be a personal romantic affair, yeah but this is India, here you have seldom 'me' or 'us' moments; which sometimes is good in a way.
What's in:
1. Hunt for any anniversary trousseau - yes there is this incessant search/hunt I am in to find that perfect saree for my anniversary. Why is it so difficult at times to find what you are looking for? I am waiting for that ' yes' moment, when I will look at the saree and can only think that this piece of cloth is made for me
2. Silver Jewelry - I am so frigging in love with this metal. Given a chance I will buy all silver jewelry in this world, yeah exaggerated, but that is how much I am loving silver jewelry right now. I refuse to go close to that silver jewelry shop now because I have already spent a fortune there (silver jewelry s pretty expensive). And yes I would mention that 'Marka Silver' especially is the object of my desire right now (after my hubby but obviously)
3. Sindor - yes been wearing this sign of being a married Hindu Indian female. I never used to like it, but suggestion of my dear mom-in-law (so happy that she suggested it) started putting it and I must admit I kind of like it. The 'me' element in it is I shunned the powdery and can be harmful sindoor and am using MAC ruby red (I think so).
4. Home Decor - so intrigued by idea to design my home from scratch and coordinate everything in my home. Duh...lack the creativity, but the desire is there, will start maintaining a scrap book of all designs I get my eye on
5. Femina - yes my beloved Femina, the magazine I so miss when I am in US. Glossy pages, perfectly clicked snaps, inspiring stories, nice fashion. It is my daily dose of the aspect of life which I love - fashion. Haven’t missed an edition since I have been in India.
What's out:
1. Missing home in US - Is there a point in missing, I mean what I get out of it, would my stay in India become short. Nope none of these. So missing home and feeling sick is so out of fashion in my life. Makes things easier.
2. Scare to be a Mom- Yes with one year completion of my blessed marriage, I have to think about becoming a mommy. So all the inhibitions have to be shunned. God help me in that.
3. Drinking regular chai tea lattes in mornings - Yes cause major screw up for my digestive system. Preferring to drink black tea with lemon piece or my beloved green tea in special flavor(raspberry pomegranate). It is very gentle on my stomach and gives me a feeling that I am drinking tea.
4. Reading between the lines - yes trying to give up this very women thing. Take it easy baby, got to chant that mantra every time I try to read between the lines or my blood starts to boil.
5. Buying time pass clothes - planning to buy only classy pieces..something which I can wear and walk into Leela Palace without feeling conscious of my dress. Need to do some wardrobe planning.
