“Your mom and I had only Rumpa (my eldest sister) then. We stopped on the way to Darjeeling in Tindharia because Rumpa wanted to puke*. The last time when your mom and I went travelling, we took a photo there. Two empty nesters remembering what it was like back in the day. I asked them…
I am, to be honest, a little scared about writing this blog post. Frankly, because, these are terms not to be used loosely or lightly. There is an elephant of a difference between feeling anxious and suffering from anxiety. Between that of being sad and being depressed. These are territories I am probably not qualified…
Well, what a blasphemy to begin with. I had to start the blog with a phone photograph because my camera lens cannot get the whole room and the phone has a wide angle. This will probably be the first. But then again, the last year and this have been years of many firsts. From quitting…
Looks like we have emerged victorious from the lull and blues after all. I mean how could you not when you have bright pansies blooming in your garden. Sure the Christmas tree and all things glittery, hot chocolate and rum cakes do leave a void in your heart but a bright purple certain someone can…

Fall colours, an easy fall DIY and a very weird week coming to an end. A week that could use some flowers, a movie and a glass of wine. Some Tea perhaps made with love. And a good candle burning somewhere with its soft, flickering flame. In fragrances of peony, Lilly or something a bit…
Time for Trumatter Weekly, ladies and gentlemen. A column {well sort of} that I write for my myself {and you, if you are interested in some serious indepth ranting} every Friday because lets face it, this blog is my best friend and there is way too much happening week on week to keep it within…
Friday. Well, the rain sort of stopped a bit and it was nice and sunny after a while. Took out my camera and shot the loverly monogram kitchen towel that Rohina from aa.living sent in! I am so super heart for everything monogram- I am never quite using this to clean up. I am guessing…
