Three things to do fall in Guildford CT



The favorite month of the year, October is here and there are many things to be psyched up about. 

In the southern part of Connecticut, Guilford is engulfed in green this coastal town is not just about historic homes but it offers many things.  Well connected with train lines, if you live in NYC, definitely a day trip is worth visiting this fall.

Here are my 3 favorite things this fall:








Visit the Strawberry Hallow Farm -  Just like out of the great Halloween movie scene, this quaint little farm is brimming with rustic beauty. You can't imagine 50 years back it was just barren land. With painstaking planning, the owner turned this place into a favorite spot for many. I especially loved visiting the ground with barn, Halloween decor, and a cute little wagon for the kids to carry pumpkin. And adding the well to the ground adds old-world charm. Varied pumpkins, squashes, and little crafts and decor. If not anything, do visit this farm for photos.

Visit Bishop orchard for pumpkin carving or sweet tooth.




Compared to Strawberry Hollow Farm, Bishop's Orchard is a little bustling. Either go for a pick-your-own fruit or pumpkin carving, an amazing spot indeed. Try the ice cream; they have a variety of flavors. 

Do your nature fix in Chaffinch Island State Park.








Little hidden gem. I can't believe how much I love this pristine island, overlooking the marina and the most beautiful sky melting into the sea, almost as if it were a living painting. You can picnic here and enjoy the gorgeous sunset.

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...

Jurun...an assamese beautiful pre-wedding ceremony

  Indian weddings encompass many beautiful ceremonies and traditions. In Assamese culture, Jurun is a pre-wedding ceremony. It usually occurs a day or two before the wedding day, sometimes even on the same day of the wedding. A tradition where the groom’s family, especially women, visit the bride's family to present the wedding trousseau (Mekhela chadar), jewelry, some makeup, and accessories. In my belief, a tradition that welcomes the bride to her new family with gifts, love, and blessings.  On the day of Jurun, Aam Dali godha (A stringed mango leaf) is a tradition and is tied over the door. It is believed that it will ward off all bad energy and bring good luck to the newlyweds. Usually, jurun happens in the morning or before noon. The goom does not accompany the group. Before going to the bride's home, the groom and his family get blessings from the people who gather for the jurun. Another tradition associated with Jurun is filling two small bell metal vases (called l...

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 ...
