Humble tribute to Irrfan Khan and my top favorite movies



In an industry like Bollywood, it's all about page three and glamour. But Irrfan Khan defined real, authentic, and was all about abrupt talent. Made his mark in global cinema, yet he was more of an actor than a star. His success is a fruit of resilient and hard work. 
Started Jurney from many iconic Indian TV series like "Bharat Ek khoj", "Star Bestseller" "Shrikant" to Global cinema-like Life of Pi, The Warrior, Jurassic World, Inferno, The Namesake watching him on screen is sheer bliss for any moviegoers. Recipient of Padmashree the 4th highest Civilian Award in India Irrfan Khan's impeccable dialogue delivery, exclusive comic timing to soulful and shuttle romance will remain in our hearts forever. 

Losing Irrfan Khan untimely on 29th April 2020 is an irreparable loss. Born in Jaipur on 7th January 1967, Irrfan's departure was mourned by the whole nation as a personal loss as he wove path for many. His legacy of one of a kind, soulful acting, and good cinema will remain with us for the new generation to learn and inspire.

As they say, life is not counted by how many breaths you take but by the moments that take your breath away.  Thank you, Irrfan Khan, for giving us many such moments and the taste of greatness following your own path that the typical society didn't condition you yet being so rooted.

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

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.

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

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
