Happy Diwali to you all and a Diwali outfit




It was a lovely  Fall morning and contouring to that was the quintessential rain.  How gorgeous imagine. I was on my window having A cup of Assam tea alone beautiful, but if I had 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 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 that did 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 all over it makes the saree heavier than regular Baanarasi 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 bit of brown kohl filled my eyes, and a natural open hair. A red bindi for finishing touches. I hope you like the look and 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

    I love the red Banarasi saree on you. It is a perfect fall/winter color.

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 just like pomegranate. Nowadays imitation Assamese jewelry are als

Keeping it simple-random things about me

Hello my dear readers, how are you all doing? Summer vacation has just started here on the east coast. My kids are having a gala time. I can't tell you how time is flying. My time is all occupied by them. Taking to them, playing with them, take them to the library, reading stories and most importantly cooking their favorite food. Hence thought, I'll keep it simple and straightforward. It has been more than a year now, and I have shared so many things about my life, travel, fashion, etc. Today I'll share a few random thoughts about me. 1. My favorite color - Navy blue, peach and off-white. Not that I don't wear any other color, but those colors are readily available in my wardrobe. 2. My favorite outfit - In western I love to wear a crisp white top and blue jeans. I know very casual. In Indian, I love sarees. Mostly, I love handwoven and handwork ones. I love salwar kurta too. You will find more solid colors then prints or patterns in my wardrobe. 3. Am I fitnes

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
