Hello Mumbai in 24 hours and top 4 things to do


      When we planned our Mumbai trip it was initially a two days trip but because of a technical issue on our fight made everything not what we expected. We had only  24 hours to explore. Mumbai is huge and 24 hours is too short to explore thanks to my cousin and his wife who helped us get a good glimpse of the city even for such a short time. Look forward to visiting Mumbai and know more with more time.


      The city of charm, the City of Dreams, where dreams rise every day with the rising skyscrapers. Magnificent, one-of-a-kind India's financial capital and home to the world's second-largest movie industry, a city of stars yet a City of slums, with alluring history and heritage.
       The Bustling city offers the most breathtaking vistas, monuments, and eminent architecture, as well as a varied and exotic food scene, along with world-class shopping. No wonder Mumbai is India's dream destination.





1. Marine Drive - If you want to get the vibe of Mumbai, then you shouldn't miss visiting Marine Drive. Picturesque, and a great place for people to watch and go for a jog or lazy strolling.  Mumbai's ethereal charm, known as the queen of the night, is the city's glory and the glitter of Mumbai. In spite of the crowd flocking all the time, you feel surprised by the sense of serenity and peace this place manifests.



2. Eat in Mumbai's oldest landmark restaurant - Experience eating Persian food in Mumbai's oldest restaurant, opened in 1923, Britania and Company, with the colonial interior and the charm of an era gone by, and a glimpse of Persian influence in Mumbai, and have the taste of the best berry pulao you've ever tasted. Only open for lunch.



3. Shop in Colaba Causeway - Busy and vivid. Colaba Causeway is a street lined with open shops. Homedecor, clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs, to name a few, are what you don't get in Collaba Causeway. Get lost and loot in some ethenic and one-of-a-kind pieces.  Here you will need some good bargaining skills. Fun and frolic.




4. Stroll around the Iconic Gateway of India - Take some selfies with one of the Iconic monuments of India, and you just can't miss the grandeur of the Taj Hotel next to it. The Gateway of India was built to commemorate the 1911 royal visit of King George V and Queen Mary to Mumbai and was inaugurated on December 4, 1924.

My favorite pieces of Assamese Traditional jewelry

My grandmother's thuria, age-old and heirloom jewelry, of course, not part-able         A piece of jewelry echoes a region's rich heritage, aesthetics and sensibilities and Assamese jewelry does not differ from that. A piece of jewelry not just enhances the wearer's beauty but identity as well.       A land of flamboyant rivers engulfed in exotic flora and fauna, birds, musical instruments Assamese jewelry is highly inspired by that. Sharing a few assamese pieces of jewelry from my personal collection.       An Assamese bride's dress up is incomplete without Assamese jewelry. Traditionally Assamese jewelry is purely handmade. The main frame is made out with 24-carat gold and lac is used as a filling material. Stones are studded on the top.  The creatively and meticulously studded stone craftsmanship resembles with pomegranate seeds. The color and texture of the stone are opulent and lurid jus...

Bartaco, West Hartford , Connecticut review

It was a usual February day, the chill felt like tucking in the furry comforter and stay cozy at home. But, the matter of the fact was that it was my birthday  and my family wanted me to take out for dinner. I was reluctant and wanted to stay at home. My little one was after me and I couldn't say no. I had no clue where we were heading for dinner and then here we were at the Bartaco. Vivacious Bartaco instantly took away my winter sluggishness. With a gracious greeting, modern contemporary laid back sitting and a bit of hustle and bustle made me alive in the winter freezing February. The high ceiling, ivory walls, earthy light shades stroked a tropical vibe and the food spoke a lot about Mexico and Latin America. As a sober, I chose housemade pomegranate lemonade and hubby got grapefruit ginger juice. I never had pomegranate lemonade before, I must say it was one of the coolest and refreshing lemonade I have ever had. The tint of lemonade not just took the look but ...
