Mashed Potato or Aloo pitika

Also, I have been wondering about the similarities of food between one culture and another. How the resembles favorite entry's to one another. Where in our thanksgiving dinner I relish mashed potatoes, my assamese taste bud adore aloo pitika, aloo means potatoes and pitika means mashed. How the main ingredients of the entry are the same but the difference is the spices or secondary ingredients.

Colors to add to your holiday wardrobe

Though the better part of the holidays is occupied by fun, family and, food how can I ignore the holiday wardrobe! Every time wearing those same old colors can be boring and uninspiring.

Post Diwali look

I don't know about you but for me, the holiday's mindless eating did shower me with much love, yeah a bit of weight gain. Post- Diwali  celebrations are going on and looking forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas and a New Year. Last week visited a friend for a small, casual post-Diwali celebration and the week of Halloween. Yup, Halloween was in my mind hence the black. I chose a black a-line Black salwar with lots of plates and it easily hides my Diwali love earns (love handles). Added a pair of silver earrings and a black large bindi and neutral sandals. The rest of the look is simple with minimal makeup and easy natural hairdo. I hope you like the look.
