Randomness

Why is it that things that you get are not exactly the things that you want. Especially when it comes to relationships, why are things always so difficult? She was surrounded by women who have some or the other guy related issue. And while she kind of did have a man she wasn’t really sure if she had him.

What happens when you hook up with a friend? What happens if later one of the two starts falling for the other? Are there any fairy tales where things just happen to work out and there are hearts and butterflies and chocolates around? Or do they just have a fall out and one of the two ends up on the couch with a sad movie and a tub of chocolate ice cream while the other moves on like nothing really happened?

Every time this thought comes to her mind and gets her upset, she reminds herself that if that person doesn’t care about her then she shouldn’t let that person affect her as well.

Smile and don’t let him affect you. 

Le 15 Café - Review

It was a bitter sweet experience visiting this place. I have always loved their cupcakes and thus was looking forward to it. The place is elegant and I loved the ambiance the minute I set foot into the café.

The place has nice interiors and I immediately made a mental note to come to this place again soon, this note was in the bin before I left the place 20 minutes later.

So we ordered a variety of cupcakes and two cold chocolates with nutella.

The cupcakes were yummy except for the Belgian chocolate cupcake which was a little harder than what it generally is. The potions are smaller than what we get at other places but that never really bothered me much as I was more focused on the taste.

The cold chocolate that we ordered also came in a small glass which was quite a disappointment. Maybe they should work up on their potions.

However, when the bill arrived, it was Rs. 1075/- which I found quite steep for a few cupcakes and two cold chocolate. When we counted we realized that the total bill was Rs. 800 and the tax was Rs. 250. Upon checking we realized that they had charged us 5% tax for desserts, 25% for drinks i.e. the cold chocolate with nutella and additional 12.5% for food (we didn’t have any food). According to them the nutella in the cold chocolate comes under the food section and thus the tax.

That’s utter rubbish, isn’t nutella an ingredient? By this mean we would be charged an additional tax for every dish that we order and for every ingredient used to make that dish. After speaking to the manager, he did cancel the 12.5%.

The total experience was so disappointing that I don’t think I’ll be visiting this place anytime soon.

Home Decor Favorites

Who doesn’t like a well-furnished home? Listing down a few of my favorite things from Deco Home.

These decorative cushions can add elegance to any house almost immediately.

The red and gold classic combination can never go wrong, it adds a certain elegance and class to the room immediately. However, it would be advisable to keep in mind the colour scheme of the house before opting for this one.

The beauty of this one is that it would fit in with any colour scheme, so even if you have a set something for your room and need some more cushions, you can opt for these ones.

I have always used shelves either to put up books or to picture frames. At times things, artifacts or a special something that will remind me of a memory also finds it place on the shelf. They always work as a great conversation starter and gives you and your guests something to chat about and share stories about your life.

You can also buy curtains online, they again add so much more to the room. Although I love huge windows and can never settle in a room that doesn’t have enough sunlight or natural air but curtains sure does give you that little privacy which is needed.

They have a lot more options to consider, I just noted down few things that I liked. Do check out Deco Home, Deco Window and Deco Essential

Not entirely giving the credit to the furniture but yes, they do make a huge difference in your house. It makes your house a home! 

Cuddles

The warm hugs and sweet nothings whispered. The simple joy of just being in someone’s arms and knowing that there is no other place you both would rather wish of being. Maybe it won’t lead to nothing more than just lying in bed with each other hugging, kissing, laughing, teasing and talking. Knowing that someone loves and cares for you. Knowing that you can trust this person. The intimacy that two people share when they are just being silly and playful cannot really be compared to anything else. 

And sometimes, that’s all that a gal needs.

“I knelt and locked the door. I locked the door locking the world and time outside. I stretched my body across the mattress and Saskia drew in close to me and placed her open hand on my chest, her mouth near my shoulder; her breath, my breath blew out the candle, and I held my lost Wanderess with tenderness until sweet sleep overcame us.”

Freedom Tree - For All The Furniture You Might Need

The best thing about home is that it reflects your style, taste and personality. There’s a reason why everyone says that there is no place like home. It just relaxes you in a moment, the place you are most comfortable at. I love to keep my house a reflection of my life, there are corners in my house which have tons of stories and memories. The moment I go there I am filled with nostalgia and I could just spend hours just sitting there and going through stuff, I actually do it at times on a lazy Sunday.

The other thing that I like are colours, and making the house look bright and fresh. They other day, I was researching online for affordable furniture and accessories that I could buy. The thing about buying furniture is the delivery process but when I checked out Freedom Tree  it just made the entire process seem so easy.

So Freedom Tree have tons of contemporary furniture, they are colourful, designer and stylish. The best thing is that they have your entire house covered, you can buy furniture for living room, dining room, kids study, bedroom, kitchen basically everything that one might need for their house.

I especially loved their bed covers, coffee tables, curtains, table lamps  and book shelves! I am sucker for books and when my cupboard started overflowing and there wasn’t just any more room for books I had to start using my mother’s cupboard and now even that is on the verge of overflowing. Mother has already started telling me to donate books or stop buying more.  

Coming back to the topic at hand, I am listing down a few things that I absolutely loved, maybe you’ll like it too J or just go through the website and let me know what suits you best.

This Mandala cupboard is just so perfect, I love the carvings and the antic look that it has. The cabinet’s facade is hand carved in mango wood and lightly washed with white.

And these curtains will add just so much more vibrance to the room.

I just absolutely love how colour coordinated all of this is. I am glad that I can actually turn my house into a colour coordinated heaven with this site. They have things that go with each other and one can just pick a colour scheme and then buy things according to it.

Offbeat Weekend Plan - Heritage Bus Tour - KalaGhoda

Kala Ghoda Art Festival 2016 started last weekend. I made sure that I dragged a friend along for the Heritage Bus Tour. This was the third time that I went for the bus tour and I absolutely love it. It is an amazing experience to hop on to the Open deck bus and go for a nice one hour tour of South Mumbai.

The guide gives interesting information about the area. Even though I have lived in the city all my life, I didn’t know some of the facts that she told me.

If you are looking for something new to do on a lazy weekend and if you share the same enthusiasm and love for the city as I do then maybe this will be just the right thing to do for you.

Something interesting happened while I was waiting for my friend to reach.

They give one pass per person, and that person has to be physically present to collect the pass. As my friend was running late, I decided to go and wait in the line.

It was 5 minutes before they would start giving out the passes and my friend had still not reached. I requested an uncle who was asking for some information at the help desk to wait with me for five minutes and collect the pass for my friend. He agreed.

A small little thing for him but that made me so happy. They say Mumbai is too fast, always on a run. In reality, Mumbai does know when to stop, take a moment and make someone smile. 

Things to keep in mind

The passes for the tickets are given out two hours before the bus ride.

Check the schedule and details online or at the helpdesk during the event.

People start queuing up at the helpdesk for the passes 45mins before the specified time, try and reach early and be ready to stand in the que.

The first 30 passes is upper deck. Try and get those passes.

Enjoy the ride Jand if you do go, let me know how did you like it.
