of Brocades and new Beginnings

Completed two years without my Dad today, December 29, 2011. Just so many thoughts and feelings interlocked, woven together, some nostalgic, some sombre, some happy & hopeful and none too sad! And some traces of resolve to do things differently, and try do different things as I tip-toe into 2012 - traces of a golden lining in the distant sky quite in sync with my (few) new acquisitions to liven up life, so to say!

These speak of my mood these days  - golden synchrony in Cushions as we happily allow in more of the Sun, multiplied in zillion sparkles across the Arabian sea that my windows overlook, during these lovely balmy Mumbai- winter days.

Happy holidays and Happy beginnings,
Hello 2012.

Turkish Delights!

Yes, yes it seems I have a windfall in ceramics these days! And these ones are gorgeous courtesy Narayan's maiden trip to Turkey last week. Quoting him "I could visualize Shalini & you let loose at the Grand bazaar in Istanbul...", while he himself hasn't done a bad job of letting loose.


I begin by posting these gorgeous ceramic bowls that he picked up quite arbitrarily, that form quite a set of 4s. Yummy stuff!

The Swan

Though I am yet to feature my current Bandstand home, couldn't resist putting up this beautiful Swan in my collection of pretties - a gift from a friend couple on their first visit since my Mumbai return!
