Barn Living in Gotland, Sweden


This eclectic barn is the home of cinematographer Bengan Widell. The barn is located in Gotland, Sweden. I was curious to know more about Gotland so I researched it a little bit :) Gotland is the largest island in Sweden and also the largest in the Baltic Sea.



These lovely Photographs are by Amelia & Andreas Lönngren Widell.



I love the rustic and bohemian vibe of this home!  I would like to hear about what you think of this home?

India Circus : A Flamboyant Act !


I heard from the team at India Circus a few days ago. Led by Devaki Khimji, Krsna Mehta, and Hadi Curtay, this dynamic group, introduces modern sensibilities to Indian traditions. The collection is bold and colorful and defines Krsna Mehta's vision of contemporary India.



India Circus offers a range of lifestyle products from furniture and home decor to personal accessories!

In Hadi Cutay's words " With this portal, we would like to create a distinct identity of contemporary India and its myriad colours, moods, motifs and people " 




Visit this new store online ! For those of you in India you can also find their products at Westside! International Shipping will also be available soon !! Yay :)



















Thank you Shilpa! I wish the team at India Circus the very best for the future!

A pine cone for each morning walk....

Morning walk is meditative.
I try to sit, but strangely walking works better for me. 
Add a camera on my shoulder and I am sorted.

I don't have the cool Bangalore morning air on my face or the fragrance of Akash Mallige trailing behind me but strangely the beauty of nature reveals itself in various forms...






It's been steadily getting colder but I can't seem to let go of my habit of morning walks.
The path is winding.
The trees are bare.
Between the whizz of cars, I hear gentle rustling.
Rustling of leaves. 
Rustling of dry leaves, still stuck to the tree. 
Few trees here are yet to let go of their leaves. 

An old habit and a new one.
With every walk I pick up one tiny pine cone out of the many strewn under the trees.
I have a couple now:-)

Life is beautiful. We just need to open our eyes to see it.

I remind myself everyday:-)
