Color my Walls "Gerua"

I am back from India. With suitcaseful of home decor stuff, homemade gond laddus, ghagra-cholis stitched by the best Masterji in town, and songs of Arijit Singh in my heart. The laddus have been eaten, LMN will have to wait till Diwali to wear the ghagra-choli, Arijit’s songs play on surround sound all day at home, and in my ears when I am commuting/ at work.

My home smells of Sugandhi dhoop from Patna. Those once bare walls look great with the new Madhubanis. The tiya pakhis are waiting to come to life and scream out “Mitthoo” all together!

And you my dear friends get a glimpse of my desi home all over again…

And see these bland walls in the master bedroom? I now do plan to paint them Gerua!

Its an Owlsome Collection

Over the last couple of years of Blogging, I have come to know some very talented people. Some of whom are quite high on my admiration-meter too.

Unfortunately, I have not met most in person. But hope lives on. Someday soon.

Here are some photographs from girls I have come to know through the world of Blogging and Facebook, and was able to peep in their homes through pictures! That’s how the virtual world works these days I guess.

This is a post about owls in home decor! The owl is the vāhana or the mount of Goddess Lakshmi, the symbol of good luck in Hindu culture. Lets see how some of my girl friends around the world have used the pæncha (Bengali for “owl”) in their homes.

So what do you think? Isn't all this so creative and inspirational? Maybe its time to get that little family owl out of the trunk and show it off to the world.

Holiday Bling…

…from my dining table.

And a homegrown tangerine dropped in too to join the party.

Silver, green, purple may not be the traditional Holiday colors! But then, I was never a stickler for traditions. Not when I have a few colors bursting to be shown off this December.
