The best part of living in New England is its natural beauty. Here, each season is unique and elusive. But when it comes to the fall season, it’s splendid. This time I visited New Hampshire . Every visit to NH, I always find something new, and it inspires me to return again and again.  Even though I have posted a blog about fall in NH before, Today I will post some old and newfound places to visit and things to do in NH during fall. Artists Bluff Trailhead - One of the most scenic views and vistas engulfing Echo Lake and Canon Mountain, this 1.5-mile hiking trail is surely worth visiting. A sheer mix of exploration and challenge, it is a little steep and rocky, but the view is breathtaking. The only drawback is that it is overcrowded. If you want to avoid the crowd, consider visiting early in the morning or on weekdays. A good gripping shoe is a must.  Crawford Notch State Park  - Compared to the white Mountains, Crawford Notch is a little less talked about, yet thi...

I have attended the NYFW Global Fashion Collective for the last couple of seasons. It's always wonderful to experience shows by many talented designers across the globe and cross-culture. Global Fashion Collective has always left us impressed by bringing such a forefront of the NYFW which they are known for.  -This time, I attended two shows; the 1st was by Hyper Culture Collection.   This runway show was unveiled with casual, innovative, quirky, ready-to-wear pieces. Designer Satoshi Shinada's creativity behind this brand's denim, jersey, and sweatshirt with graffiti and interesting phrases dominated this collection. A couple walking as a bridegroom patronizing jeans attire in the runways indeed added innovation and an out-of-the-box idea. The whole collection is vibrant and youthful with a dose of rebelliousness. The 2nd show was by Justin Jacob Louis. His debut in NYFW was unfolded with indigenous dancing, surely heartwarming, aspirational, and energetic. There are good...

Hi There, For the first time, I missed my 1st Show this season in NYFW as the weather has been really bad on the East Coast. T orrential  downpours and power cuts had happened, which was enough reason to create gridlocks. I usually stay in New York during NYFW , but this season I had 3 shows on the same day and I decided not to stay in the city but to return the same day to cope with my kid's busy schedules. Our home to NYC is a 2-hour drive and today it took 4 hours, so I couldn't attend my 1st show as most shows run on time.  However, I wanted to share what I wore for the show. How I decide what to wear for the show. Creating an ideal look to attend such a show takes a lot of thought and ideas. Looking good is just one criteria, but the look should be such that it not only creates an impact but at the same time it should align with your personal style. A statement look is always good for Big 4, and uncomfortableness is the last thing we opt for. In addition, we have to kee...

A few years back, when I visited Mumbai , I touched the major tourist spots in Mumbai.  After a few years, I now have the opportunity to visit several neighborhoods in  Mumbai .  Bandra is one of the most popular neighborhoods in Mumbai. Synonymous with the residence of many Bollywood celebrities. Growing up in the 1990s as a kid in India, there's no way you weren't exposed to Bollywood. Bollywood is not just about movies but also about a star-studded life. Back then, social media had no influence, yet I heard about the affluent suburb of Mumbai, Bandra, where many stars reside. In the 1920s, people who visited Mumbai made sure to visit Bandra to see Manat, the home of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Also, to get a glimpse of the superstar. Today's Bandra is hip, utterly modern, and a great hub for fashion, eateries, art, music, and more. The Arabian Sea encompasses Bandra, which embodies the coexistence of diverse cultures, communities, religions, and socioeconomic s...
