Happy Diwali to you all and a Diwali outfit



It was a lovely Fall morning, and complementing that was the quintessential rain.  How gorgeous, imagine. I was at my window, having a cup of Assam tea alone; it was beautiful, but with company, it would have been sheer bliss. My husband and son were out for the day for a swim meet.


And Today is Diwali, the festival of light. I feel a bit lazy, yes, rain makes me lazy, and it tries to hold me back close to my window. There is no time to laze around when you have festivals. I quickly got up and made some Indian sweets, prepared for the Diwali special dinner, and in between, I had a quick lunch fix. When my husband and son were back, I was almost done with everything.


    Let's take you to today's Diwali outfit post. A red Banarasi saree with antique thread motifs throughout makes the saree heavier than regular Banarasi sarees. That also makes the saree perfect for a fall-winter soiree and keeps you warm. As the saree is the hero of the whole look. I must say Banarasi is one of the most esteemed and resplendent weaves of Indian Handloom. I added an antique dangle earring, a simple bangle, and a gold watch. A matte red lipstick, a hint of brown kohl lined my eyes, and my hair was left naturally open. A red bindi for finishing touches. I hope you like the look. Happy Diwali to you all. Love, light, and peace.

    Tea is not a drink it is an emotion. No need of (dipping) crackers just tea to celebrate diwali. Happy diwali

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 ...
