Good things in life

Hope everyone is having a good time

We are getting to the most anticipated part of year and festival season is already here in Mumbai
Usually I get a bit depressed at this time of the year don't ask me why??
And how do I combat it???
dress up for dinner at home and compile the list of things to look forward to in the coming months, here is it:

1. Upcoming visit from my family in the next week
2. Diwali when I  visit my parents and be in my beloved city of delhi(I love mumbai equally it's a case of "distance makes the heart grow fonder")
3. My birthday :) 
4. Best friends wedding
5. Vacation 
6. My first half marathon 
7. New year
8. Husband's birthday
9. More weddings
10.More vacation 

do you make such lists??? I make lists and excel sheets for almost everything,apply filters make pie charts and then analyse everything :)
Does that make me neurotic!!! Freud would agree I am sure but I like it
Now that I have cheered up considerably here is the outfit I wore today at home for a grand meal of chapati, daal and veggies

Dress: Bizarre

Cardi: Promod

Shoes: jessica simpson 

Belt: Vero Moda

I am planning to start tomorrow in the gym with an intensive workout and some home cooked south indian breakfast(the breakfast part is already making me happy)
Have a good night and good day for others :)

Cricket, blog anniversary etc etc

So India won the cricket match and the whole country went nuts I couldn't sleep till 2 AM because of the street party going on in my apartment complex.
At the risk of public lynching I would say what's the big deal?? and in all probability the match was fixed, imagine leaving 5 catches of Tendulkar in one match hah! I am being a party pooper I know but i am tired of all this talk about our great Indian team and reading people's Facebook status so I am ranting here 


For my non indian readers: cricket is a very popular game in India and last night India won a world cup semi final against arch rivals Pakistan hence all the madness


I am back home from my travels and reveling in the quietness of my surroundings, missing my family though 


Would like to welcome my new readers thanks for reading this :) :)

Today is also the day when my blog has completed 1 year yay  for that
will do a proper anniversary post with a giveaway soon, a bit pressed for time right now

What do you want to be

This weekend while going through some old stuff I found my old diaries and had a very good time reading them.
The 14 year old me was not very realistic(a complete dreamer actually) but she had quite a clear idea of the kind of woman she wanted to be when she grew up, I then compared that woman to myself and was very relieved to find myself fulfilling 14 year old shuchita's expectations :) except that part about Miss Universe he he :)
I slept very peacefully that night and am still on a high from that discovery
Are you the person you wanted to be when you were a kid? Did you or do you write a diary?


Here's the outfit of the day 

This is the first time I have worn a maxi dress and I am quite happy with the result it's perfect for the summers and so so comfy

 Maxi dress: forever 21

Bangles: M block market GK 

Sandals: Bandra

Ring: Bandra

Bag: Globus

Necklace: Forever 21

I was in Delhi for a day on the way to Ambala and the picture has been clicked there only bonus points if you can spot the location :)

Scent of a memory

Yesterday I was reading something about perfumes, how it works, it's chemistry and ......

I use perfumes for a different reason all together besides the obvious, I use perfumes to capture memories


Whenever I go on a vacation or start a new job or am about to do something other than the usual I wear a new perfume and when I want to revive the memories I wear that perfume 
I have the perfume I wore on my honeymoon and wear that whenever I want to think about those days 
the whiff of that fragrance is a whiff of the days gone by and I swear I get transported back to those moments in my life....... bliss
Do you use your perfumes in this manner???
On a totally unrelated topic there are no good movies releasing aaah!!!!!! what's up with that production houses???
So, I was not at all expecting to like Band Baaja Baarat but it was surprisingly good :) and I totally loved 
maybe the fact that it is shot in Delhi and depicts the culture there has something to do with it but whatever I recommend watching it
it's loud, funny, romantic and has some awesome acting by the lead pair 
This is a three day weekend  and I am so happy to have three uninterrupted days with husband :) ear to ear grin
have a good weekend
see you soon

It's black and it's brown

I am alive, kicking , not so busy so the only excuse for not blogging is sheer laziness.

I had a reasonably good week and managed to do almost all that I wanted to except may be house work which I am not sure if I wanted to do ;) 
Saw "Wall Street" the movie (new one) with husband (mentioning it just for the purpose of public service) was a complete bore my advice: watch the first one again and skip this one
I did click one outfit pic today, wore it to go shopping, not for my shopping guys and gals I am restraining myself from shopping nowadays(only a bit though so no worries). 
here it is

Top: Zara

 Tights: Espirit

Necklace and Bangles: Coloba

Shoes: Bandra

 Showing off my B&W bow shaped hair clip from Twisted 

And now I am off to watch the latest episode of Merlin, I am a fantasy junkie I told you :) 

How was your weekend???


p.s thanks everybody for the comments on the last post I loved them all, UB when I was there I also expected for SRK to pop out in a field in a DDLJ pose :)
