I'm real...

I'm not a superwoman. I multitask yes, but I make mistakes. I don various roles. I'm someone's daughter, sister, wife, mother and friend.
I'm real. I don't aim for perfection, which is an illusion. The moon has bumps too, yet she is beautiful. The light and darkness on it only displays her profound beauty. So why should I aim for perfection?

Me

It's not been very long since I have begun this exercise of knowing myself more. The more I think, the more i am mystified with my simplicity compiled with complexity. I am in love with life, its endless colours of joys, forms of splendour and wonder, celebrating life in its endless vicissitudes.

I walk. I talk. I trip, and get up with a swing. I dream. I dance. I love even if it hurts.

I simply love shopping and talking. Yes, and often those have landed me in trouble. Though I am not really really a spendthrift, I manage to purchase a horde of stuff that I know I am not going to use in my entire life. From make up that never dolls my pretty face to clothes that are too loose, and I know I am never going to wear. So what do I wear? Same old jeans and t-shirt that I love to sleep in since the last god knows how many years. Now that's my style statement! Though often I can be seen in stylish clothes and accessories, fit to enter Bollywood!

Now accessories got to be REAL. Real diamonds and gold befits my personality. It's a rare occasion I see myself in artificial jewellery.

Nostalgic with Chikankari Saree

In a chikankari saree on georgette paired with an ikkat blouse... this drape makes me nostalgic 😊😊. I got this in 2007 from Numaish in Hyderabad. 
Numaish is another name for All India Industrial Exhibition - a shopaholic 's paradise with the sheer range of products and variety it offers. 🛍🛍From dry fruits and woolen garments to handloom products, Persian carpets to bed sheets and crockery, yummy food options to carnival rides, including a chook chook gadi🚂🚂 that takes you through the entire place, Numaish ushers in thousands of people everyday for 45 days.
Expert hagglers visit on the last day to put their skills to good use. The warmth, the loudspeakers blaring the latest music and the cacophony of the carnival has been drawing people in its embrace since 1938. As soon as its Jan 1, we hyderabadis are bound to ask each other, "Numaish gaye kya? Kitne baar? Chal aaja mere saath" 😄😄😄
