The Bohemian Indian


There is something amazing about behaving like a tourist in your own city. Kolkata is where I grew up and lived my whole life. Yet, there are times when it seems like you have seen everything and done everything that there is to do. And then Kolkata surprises you by taking you to a place like this.

For this outfit post, I wanted to take some pictures somewhere lush and green. The regulars of Victoria and Lake passed my mind, but they were too far and too huge for the little amount of time we had. My cousin suggested Nature Study Park right in the heart of Park Street Area and that is where we headed.

The park was an oasis of peace in the city. I must have crossed the area a million times and yet never thought to go inside. Lush trees, clear waters and ducks swimming right in the middle of the big corporate buildings. It was not very large or grand. I would not even recommend it to tourists. Just a tiny bit of happiness in a big city. 

Have you re-explored your city recently? How was your experience?

Festive Dressing with Sabyasachi


One thing that is on every Indian woman's wishlist has to be a Sabyasachi saree.So since I had the oppurtunity,I picked  my first Sabyasachi saree as a part of my wedding trousseau and FINALLY got the chance to wear it on Diwali day (yes,I am running on a bit of a backlog here).I loved how the polka dots,lace,the classic Sabya border and tassels fused so beautifully on this saree.The man is a master at mixing and matching.Hopefully,budget permitting this will be the start of many more purchases to come.





Saree: Sabyasachi
Necklace: India Kitsch 
Ring: Engagement Ring!
Colorful Bangles : India Kitsch
Diamond Bangles: Gifted by Mom
