Beds

For someone who has been following the Euro 2012 well into the night and losing sleep over it, it certainly makes sense to have a post on the most creative beds out there...maybe after this I will finally be able to catch up on some sleep ;)

Fashion Illustration Sketches

Came across these Illustrations which are super artistic and inspiring.

Food porn....Snacks

After a long hiatus, I'm back to blogging. Blame it on the pressures and tribulations of modern professional life, or on my slight laziness...:) Having had a sumptuous, bar/finger-food spread for a very late lunch yesterday at one of my favorite neighborhood pubs (Quench, Bandra Reclamation), I started pondering on the importance of snacks/finger food in our diets. Not only are they essential to our bodies to satiate those mid-morning/afternoon hunger pangs, but they can also bring peace to an overactive and restless mind filled with gluttony fueled cravings. For a more healthy approach, I have a look at some guilt-free snacks which are still very very appetizing. Here are a few interesting pics:

Khal Drogo and Game of Thrones

It's hard to believe that we shall have to wait for another full year to get a glimpse of Game of Thrones, the TV show that has captured many hearts and allowed fantasy to be deeply ingrained into our minds.

I am extremely sad...and nostalgic. With each season finale, and the wait that it entails my whole being goes into a "shock-mode" and withdrawal symptoms start to be evident. From the re watching  of the episodes, to constant rewinding to the juiciest bits (Khal Drogo...."My sun and starts"), to the incessant online search for any memorabilia or replicas of the costumes, weaponry, jewelry, and the never-ending article/review perusal with  the intent to learn rationalize the magic behind this series. 

Some of my favorite interactions and therefore, most missed characters shall be:

Tyrion and Shae- Their ever-growing passion was initially unexpected and paid for, but it sure did make us happy for The Imp to see some genuine affection come out afterall.

Tyrion & Lord Varys- Extreme wit at play, with two of the most cunning and genius characters on the show. Constant back & forth of pure intellect jargon and stimulation.

Arya Star & Lord Tywin- Sheer chemistry and magic on screen enhanced by the underlining tension of Arya's hidden identity along with our suspections that Twyin is no big old fool and knows exactly what is going on.

Littlefinger and pretty much anyone- He is a sly ruthless fox, with an apparent somewhat romantic inclination and shared past with Catelyn. From being the brothel's evil and merciless lord, to plotting peace treaties among warring parties, Littlefinger surely knows how to play the game very well.

And of course, 

Khaleesi and Khal Drogo- It was heartbreaking to witness the imaginary/dream-like reunion of the two lovers who on season 1 made the show thrive with raw romance and passion. If the great Khal is indeed dead and lost forever from the show and books, we can safely say that he shall not be forgotten by any of his fans!

Balloon Art & Fashion

There are a few things in life that tend to bring a smile to most people. Having grown up and forcefully distanced myself from balloons , I still envy the "free balloon policy" to kids at fast food restaurants. Once at KFC, I saw a bunch of them available for the taking, was about to leave with one when the sales staff said: "Excuse me, those are only for kids!". What is the "official age" for not being able to freely carry a balloon on the streets as a grown-up and get a few raised eyebrows in the process?  Whatever it is, I still cherish and admire them. Balloons are items that though extremely simple in matter, can really be turned into something spectacular and intricate. Here are a few great pics to please the eye!

Rome and its culture

After much deliberation, Roman Toga has been officially decided to be the theme for my birthday party! On that note, I fondly started recalling my history lessons and how much Ancient Rome in all its grandeur fascinated me. I had to do some research for the party, and subsequently started looking into Roman art, culture, fashion yet again. Here are some of the collected images!
