Weekend

May your weekend be fun. Whether you’re at the beach or on a staycation, hope you have a dozen good books with you.

Lovely rooms I could never live in

These are beautiful rooms, all lovely and stylish. I could never live in them, though.

I’d be awake all night here, making to-do lists, chalk dust flying around furiously…

Here I’d be constantly distracted by those lovely clothes hanging around. I’d be fretting about lack of cupboard space instead of sleeping! One pretty outfit on display is okay, I think, but so many?

So calm. So serene. So orderly. This is such a beautiful room.

But I really need some red in here or I’d die. Seriously.

Weekend

Whether you are in the middle of a somewhat warm summer or already fed up of the Indian monsoon, may this weekend bring you a quiet sunny spot, a good book to read and clarity, in your mind and in your surroundings.

Would you…

Wear this when winter comes a’calling? I must admit, I wish I had this ingenious outfit in the days when I lived in the UK!

Could you…repurpose an old guitar case for essential (read: book) storage?

Could you…ever eat these gorgeous cupcakes? I’d look at them all day, salivating :)

Reading by the sea…

takes on a whole new meaning in this photograph. What do you make of a room like this? I’m curious to see what the rest of it is like. I like the idea, but perhaps a less, umm, atmospheric background might be more to my taste.

The Great Cover-Up

I know a building in Panjim that could benefit with a cover-up like this. The Marigold Hotel (shame!), a newly built hotel seems like it has all the trimmings, except for the side of the building facing the creek, which is left exposed, unpainted and looks abandoned, if you don’t know what the building is.

I don’t think this ‘distressed’ look is intentional (the design of the building tells you a lot about the architect /owners and intentional creativity is not likely to be on top of their list) which makes it all the more sad. Town planners don’t care about the eye-sore either ($$?)

I might just go over there one morning and ask them (the hotel) about that unloved 6 storied brick wall.
