Soma’s Eclectic Opulence

That cycle still welcomes you in Soma Ghosh’s home. Its another story that, now its parked in her Mumbai home, which is nestled in one of the finest residential townships of India’s tinsel town.
Soma treasures her vintage possessions and her great editing skills have ensured she has a clutter-free, comfortable and welcoming home.

What would you say of the ceramic vermillion case with a Belgian mirror on its cover, sitting snugly amidst Soma’s silver. That ladies and gentlemen, belonged to her great grandmother!

Soma’s home never bores even a fastidious (read fickle) person like me. The welcoming colors of her urban retreat hold me in a trance, making me wait longer, to linger on and savor each delightful corner with cherished appreciation.

Soma’s decor mission is clean and artistic. Her home is a blend of her own personal style, interests in books and writing, and her knack to rearrange her treasured pieces, if only to celebrate her favorite memories.
I totally am mesmerized at how mere spaces between walls can be completely rehabbed into a nest of eclectic and modern abode.

Thank you, Soma for sharing what you care for.

Once Upon a Time…

…in 1003, Hatat House, Muscat, a boy and a girl lived with their little baby girl, Rimi.

They travelled far and near places together, brought back home mementos, memories and photographs. Together they put them up on walls that chronicled their life and times as a couple and as new parents.

In between her untamed writing, illustrious career, lustrous wanderings and magnificent musings, the girl made her home breathtakingly beautiful. Even the Sun that shone in the Oman sky would wait impatiently every morning for her to open her windows…

Her greens glowed in all their glory and her baithak oozed the radiance of a newly formed rainbow.

This was once the home of Soma Ghosh, her husband and their daughter. They lived in Muscat, Oman, then.

The Ghoshs now live in Bombay, India. Which means that we also get to see Soma’s Hiranandani home.

I promised to be patient with Soma till she sends the new set of photos. I know you will be too. Just because Soma has a uniquely charming way of welcoming everyone into her home. And then she kills them with her 1000 watt smile.
