Here, there and everywhere........

I've been all over the place. Quite literally. I got back from Chennai on the 6th and since then life has been a crazy whirlwind that has simply swept me off in its wake. We landed at the Delhi Airport tired and hungry. Jet lite didn't have enough food to go around. But even in my sleep deprived state I managed to recognise Anita Ratnam. Yes people,the daneuse is even more graceful in real life. She was wearing beautiful fawn colored trousers and the most beautiful chocolate colored shawl that shimmered in the glare of the harsh Airport lighting.
My colleague got her autograph while I managed to get tongue tied and ended up with just a memory. Well I guess the memory is better. At least that's for keeps. Untill age catches up :)
I shifted into my new home last Sunday. It's even more elegant now that I've cleaned it up and bought some stuff and inhabited it. I managed to find some truly beautiful things for the place. An exiquisite black bedspread covered in a mosaic of zari border squares that I use as a rug,a blue and white quilt that is unbelievably soft, a kantha worked bedsheet that I've turned into a curtain, A huge ceramic mug with a daisy on it that does duty as toothbrush holder, four eclectically designed black and white mugs that I use for my morning coffee and a packet of powder blue tealights that once lit release the most sensuous fragrance into the air.
In the gifts department I found a silent cream shawl with biscuit colored squares woven into the fabric itself and a lovely scarf in shades of blue, grey and ice green.
I've filled up a corner of the home with some metal musicians and a staid black and white laundry bag.
It's incomplete, It's small, It has just me for company but it's home and I love coming back. Its one of the reasons that I don't update as regularly as i used to.
I've yet to find a gym. Hope I find one soon......
Happy Diwali :)
