Harkness Memorial State Park , Connecticut a lovely summer day













 A beach has its own beauty, whether sandy or rocky, and the landscape of a wide-open green meadow has its own beauty as well, but when both come together under one roof, it creates magic. Located in Waterford, Connecticut, that's how I'll probably describe Harkness Memorial Park...magical. 












 If you are someone who loves the beach or someone who loves to spend a day picnicking with family with a built-in charcoal grill, or someone who is looking for a venue for a wedding or special event or just any photoshoot or you are an avid fitness enthusiast who loves to workout in heart of nature, there is plenty of places for all that or plenty of space for kite flying or just roam around and gaze the shore and get a glimpse of new England's beautiful colonial houses along with the long island sound there you are. If that's not enough, add to it the gorgeous 230-acre mansion called "Eolia," with a painstakingly manicured lawn and a serene garden featuring vivid flowers. It was built in 1906 and bought by philanthropists Edward and Mary Harkness in 1907. If you are in Connecticut, go on a summer day to cool yourself down with so much serenity, or pick a spring day to just see the scenery of spring in full bloom, or you can pick any season of your choice, and you will be gratified.

    What a beautiful state park! I've never been to Connecticut, but I'll definitely add Harkness Memorial State Park to my bucket list for when I do visit

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 ...
