This Banarasi Sari, gets to be show cased second time on this blog. I wore it to a wedding reception yesterday. The reception was so Grand. It was one of the best I had ever attended. There were 251 dishes. I could only see all of them. I had only fruits. The decoration was exquisite. The hosts were attired so well. Despite being ostentatious, it was extremely classy. Words fail me to describe  the whole set up. I had a ball of time.

Few days back I had posted the pictures of my Salsa party on this blog here. This is with my Salsa buddy/partner Idrees Jhon. He dances like a dream. I always tell him that he can even make a tree dance. Today his picture also came in Times of India. It can be seen on the  link here.  This is his picture in today's paper. Earlier I have also posted some of my salsa pictures and videos with him.

Have you noticed we all have a particular bias/liking/disliking, towards certain product that we have grown up with. I was just reflecting on how we become particularly fond of one thing over the other and stick to it. I was making my own list of things. They are- Favorite bollywood fashion blog - highheelconfidential I prefer this to any other bollywood fashion blogs like- Bollywoodstylediaries  Reason- High heel has more original content, better (similar to mine) judgements about who looks good or bad. They love traditional saris as much as I do. Favorite newspaper- Indian Express, The Hindu, Times of India Do not like- Hindustan Times Favorite Magazin e- Vogue, Femina, India Today, Wedding Affaire Coke or Pepsi - Personally, I do not drink/recommend either. But still if I have to choose, it will be Coke. Son says -Thumbs Up is the best. Favorite Attire- Sari, dresses, skirts. Do not like much of- Jeans, shorts, hot pants. Favorite piece of jewelry- Rings, bracelets Favorite a...

If you have been reading my blog for sometime now, you know my love for classic, traditional, rich, hand woven Sari, sans any embroidery or gimmicks. Just spotted this lovely Sari that I quite fell in love with and thought that I must showcase on my blog.

Low waist Jeans. It was hilarious when I heard a guy saying that a girl resembles " Piggy Bank " in low waist jeans. It took me a while to understand the analogy. Destressed Jeans Why do people wear torn clothes? Why? Under wears or Bras showing from under. Under wear is called so for some reason. Why do people show/flaunt it? It is disgusting sight. Some girls wear transparent tops and some colored bras under. It looks cheap. Even transparent straps are no good. They show. For heavens sake, there are strapless bras available or silicon stick on pads. Get rid of bra straps from showing from underneath. It is not sexy but cheap. Even men, who show there trunks/briefs from under their Jeans, look cheap. Keep your Calvin Klein Bands hidden.  Wearing such short tops that your Muffin Tops show. It is more hilarious site to see girls pulling their short tops down. Wear a little longer top. Hide those muffin tops. Gaping Button down Shirt White button down shirt and jeans (of the r...

So this was the final day. Day of departure. End of a beautiful and relaxing holiday. Boarding a flight back from Chennai.  This is the hotel elevator. The walls of it are covered with complete leather as the hotel is owned by Hidesign- They make beautiful pure leather bags. The company started from Puducherry an Auroville. Even the back side of the bed in the rooms is pure leather. I am wearing handwoven cotton sari in my favorite color.

This was a day of splurging in shopping in Puducherry and going to various beaches. One beach was adjacent to my hotel Promenade. The hotel overlooked Bay of Bengal. We went to Serenity beach. And another one was Paradise beach where we drove to. It is on Cuddalore road. What am I wearing Dress: Derhy Bag: Chanel Glares: Dior Watch: DKNY

Next day, we left for Auroville, an international township, 14 kms away from Puducherry. It was a dream project of Mother, who wanted people of different castes, creeds and religions to stay together here.  Matri Madir Matri Mandir is the spiritual centre of Auroville. It is in a dome shape. Soil from 126 different countries was placed in a pot here. As you enter, you see vast greenery all around. I was spellbound by the majestic and magnificent beauty. It can truly be one of the wonders of the world. Beauty of Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, etc is nothing as compared to it.  Inside, there is a single beam of light that comes through and falls on the largest man made crystal donated by Zeiss, people who make spectacle lens etc. That is the only source to light up the whole thing. It passes through and reaches the bottom of the dome. There is a pin drop silence and it is said that meditating here, even for few minutes is very powerful. Everyone comes, sits quietly, meditates and leav...
