book i read - 100 shades of white

The art of putting together food is a magical thing and if it is done right it has the power to soften the most hardened heart.
from
100 shades of white by Preethi Nair.

Luved this one from the first page to the last ,this one is the story of Nalini and her children,her journey from a small town in Kerala to Mumbai and then from their to London and how their life is changed through the passage of time.How Nalini struggles alone in London with her children and how she emerges successful.This one is about food too,so if you love cooking then do read this one,,,;-)

Journey - A painting

journey is something which each one of us has to take

sometimes alone and sometime with someone,

sometime the journey is pleasent and real one

and sometimes it sad and fake.

Journey is something which was on  my mind

while i was sketching this painting 

and thus this woman in Ghaghra 

with her belongings by her side

as Journey is something 

which was on my mind,..:-)

Me time on my dream couch ;-)

This is how my living room looks when my son is taking his afternoon nap,as soon as he is asleep i enjoy my me time here,sitting on the couch and doing so many other things

,be it blogging,blog hoping,reading books and sipping filter coffee or tea,doing some embroidery or just musing about life .

This corner of the couch   is my favourite as i have added so many colours on the wall and on the corner table.

I can just sit there and relax and get perked up by reading books or by  simply inhaling the aroma of fresh flowers kept in the vase.

A glimpse again of ya my dream couch ,this was on my wish list since long time ,a couch like this where i could just sit and relax .
