My Home...

One of my favourite Oprah shows used to be the home make over stories, I  loved watching how they would tear down a place (which wasn't really that bad to begin with) and turn it into something stunning with gorgeous furniture and luxurious drapes. I think anything can look better if you just drape some flowy rich material somewhere near it. I remember Nate Berkus was in charge of the home makeovers on Oprah and he sure knew how to spruce up a place... I liked his blend of earthy and neutral tones, it lent a great deal of elegance and grace to the place. Wonder why they don't air Oprah these days... anyway, I just thought of giving you a glimpse into my home... 

Here's the living room and I love the way sunshine floods into it...

The rest of the living room... 

My own little space... my bedroom (check out the framed picture, its the same as my blogger header and the other is a picture of my home town).

My charming little kitchen...

The poster in my kitchen...

As soon as I saw this, I knew I had to buy it... was reading it in the shop and laughing away, its a list of things you've learned from FRIENDS, like 'Always say the right name at the altar' or 'If stung by a jellyfish, pee on it' or 'Only in prison do they CUP whilst measuring for pants' or 'Throwing your own wake is not a good way to meet women'.

So what do you think...

Now someone is quite proud of showing their home. Hmmmm. Loved your place. The new look of your blog is so very refreshing and new. Liked it as well. The B & W bedspread is so very lovely. Shall I drop in someday, dear Karen?

Joy always,
Susan

P. S: You should have also shown the place where you sit and write blog posts.

Oh Susan, you can drop in anytime though don't be surprised if the pictures don't match... the house isn't usually this clean and the pictures here are taken from two homes (the one I grew up in and the one I live in now). And in the bedroom picture, you see a little table by the side with a laptop on it, that's where I am sitting right now and typing this.

Nice Ad....

Wouldn't you say so... Nam and me were in this huge clothing store and we were making fun of all the models on display (there was one of hrithik in which he looked kinda gayish) when we came across this one. Seriously, dark people are more better looking....

Tawusi Melek: The Peacock Angel

The Last Girl (2017) by a Yezidi survivor, Nadia Murad, is filled with the bone-chilling sort of evil that the ISIS is synonymous with. Nadia poignantly captures the plight of her Yazidi village, Kocho, as the threat of ISIS looms large in the distance before becoming a reality. As with the Holocaust, no one really anticipates the amount or intensity of evil that could reside in the indoctrinated hearts of men. Otherwise, nobody would willingly stay back in their towns or villages waiting for the genocide of their race. One of Nadia’s brother’s, Hezni, did try to go Germany, by crossing the northern Iraqi border on foot into Turkey, from where they (the brother and a few others) made their way to Istanbul, then paid a smuggler to take them into Greece. But they were discovered and had to spend a horrible time in prison. So, the fact is people did try to leave, but like Nadia explains, it isn’t easy to leave the only place one has ever known. I still think that being forced to

A tribute to the crazy bunch....

Here are a few picutres that won't find a place in the wedding album... but they were equally (some of them, even more) memorable. Everybody loves sunoj.... I was so happy to see them all...... (first time they were coming to my new place) Sunoj again.... hanging out with this guy is like shopping, ice cream, chocolates... etc. You can't get enough of them. The crazy cousins gave us a very interesting gift... this gift will be with us for six months then it will start its cycle of educating the owners. Though I doubt my cousins need much education in that department. It was fun opening the book and Jardin being the smart guy wanted somethin read from page 69. It was so cute the way Sunoj quickly picked up "The Magic Faraway Tree Series" from the corner and gave me to hold up when Robert uncle walked into the room (turns out he was the one who bought the book). I still remember Robert uncle laughing his head off.... good times. This wa
