Love...life...destination

Life is like a canvas

and it's beautiful indeed 

with splashes of colour. 

Love is life. 

Love is respect and affection,
inspiration and destination.

Life is peace...

calmness of mind,

a degree of stability within

and strong sense of 

inner contentment.

 When it is simple

life is joyful.

On a designer's note...

"You don't need to make a big fuss,

just put together things

that make you happy

and that reflect you"
                             - Dan Marty, Designer. 

Hello lovelies...

Hope 2014 is treating you beautifully :)

A Small Corner Tabletop !!:)....

I  always love to change the table settings in my home....

yes, frequently ;)

A small change here and there makes a big difference .

This particular corner table usually holds 

an old teapot, 

some books/magazines, 

 a few candle holders,

small nick knacks,

dried flower petals,

well, all depends on my mood

 with a touch of bright colours, vibrancy.

Here, it goes...

Down the memory lane....My Delhi Home...a few snapshots!!!

You may call it  'An Orange Home',  'A Traveller's Canvas' or 'An Ethnic Indian Nest'....whatever may be, but it is just like that!
WELCOME to my Delhi home.

..for colours and warmth..

my favourite corner..with a good book and a hot cuppa.

Late night Chai-ki-adda..a weekend moment.

Are you lokking for some 'Ethnic Indian Inspiration(s)' ?

..and a Diwali moment.

Colours of India.

 Those  Delhi days! Those lovely and lively, colour full, vibrant days. Till now I can feel the warmth...and miss it terribly at the same time.


Long long drives to Rajasthan,Gujarat, Himachal, Punjab.....the NH8 drive, road side dhabas...'makki-di-roti or sarsho-da-shag' , sarsho-ki kheti, matki ki pani, mitha lassi...Diwali-Lohri-Holi....Rajpath-Janpath-GK-CP....those dusty crazy summers...lovely-flowery-chilly winters....all those fairs, a stroll through 'Dilli Haat', it's so nostalgic...
