Boudoir Bohemia.

I love it how the warmth of the colors on my wall textile reflects the colors of the one on the floor and how beautifully they complement the hues of the canvas & my bedside lamp.

Feeling flight-full :: Festival of Lights

Happy Deepawali my Peeps!


 That time of the year when nothing bursts the froth of bubbling happiness & well being in my heart.

Am off to Delhi, my hometown, for Diwali & more and already "आज कल पाव ज़मीन पर नहीं पड़ते मेरे..."

Narayan's parents did a small Puja at our new apartment

The lights have been lit since :)

Tiled-in-piece

They travelled places with me;

wrapped, unpacked, put in boxes, in soft folds, unwrapped, relished when revealed,

subject of ideas, imagined murals, conjured collages,

stuff of dreams & escapades on the wall, corners, centerpieces

and finally rest(ed) in peace, piece-by-piece, in a wooden casket of Burmese origin,

of toil and labour of weeks and some.

Now standing Regal, centre staged, no more in parts, now as a Whole

bringing moodiness to all that surrounds :)

 

A Home in No Man's Land

where the Berlin Wall stood

Am awestruck by the sheer audacity, visualization and romance of building a home of such material :-  on a stretch of land till very recently a death-strip, in such a home you live with your growing-up kids, a home designed with no particular desire to demarcate spaces or define privacy in the conventional sense; yet a Home built with an acute understanding and awe of the recent historical magnificence of the land where it stands.  As Ms. Schröder said. “Every day I look out on the foundations of a house from which people jumped from the windows to escape to the West. The paving stones my kids run over in front of our house map the route of the tunnels that were dug by people desperate to leave the G.D.R. It is living history for me.” Full article http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/12/garden/life-without-walls.html?ref=global-home
