Today we (complete family of four) were together. It felt good. We went shopping for a gift for Big Boss (husband). It was a quick and short trip. Specially, since four of us had busy work schedules and had just about taken couple of hours off. This is what I wore Tunic/Jacket: Self designed and made in my export unit. Jeans Heels: Clarks. I saw new range that has come in Clarks. It was very interesting. Lovely high boots and winter wear. But also I have seen some interesting Manolo Blahniks and Comme Il Fauts. I have to now choose which to buy. I am not going to buy all. But you guys do check the new range of Clarks.

Where's the party tonight? On the dance floor. When I go dancing, I can't bother to take my camera along. Either I can dance or click pictures. I would rather do the former.  So I click pictures at home. That too after coming back. This is what I wore tonight. Dress: Max Mara Heels: Lewre' Silver ring: Vintage Necklace worn front side back: Gift from a friend.

These are the first pictures that my son shot fiddling with the iPhone. We were just fiddling with it and yet have not figured out how to take good ones.  

My mom and dad sent me these Gladiolus flowers which grow in their farm and they personally hand plucked them and sent them to me all the way from Punjab. So many of them. Thanks mom and dad. And yes, the pictures have been shot with my new iPhone Camera.

Biting the first apple resulted in the fall of man.  Man has always fallen prey to his own greed. Why not with this new gadget then? Yesterday, I bought iPhone 4S ( Hey! actually, it is gift from my husband on our 20th Anniversary).   It was officially launched in India on 25th Nov. T here was adrenaline rushing through my veins when I first touched it.  I am simply not a Blackberry person. Just cannot use it.  Yes, the price in India is exorbitantly expensive.  The 16 GB model is being sold for Rs. 44,500. The 32 GB and 64 GB are priced at Rs. 50,900 and Rs. 57,500 respectively. The smartphone is more expensive in India than anywhere else in the world.  However, a true Apple fan will do whatever it takes to be a member of the Apple family.  The price quoted for the Indian market is not an advisable buy. However, an Apple freak would be an Apple freak! T he iPhone-4S is voice-activated, but certainly not for the kind of English that is s...

As promised in my earlier blog post, here are the details of the restaurant where I went on Sunday night. Actually it was a presentation for new chefs at Olive in Qutub. British chefs Flora Hilleary and Alice Helme showed off their culinary prowess at the Greenhouse on the Ridge, Olive at Qutub, recently.    In an intimate Tuscan kitchen overlooking a tranquil forest, we  dined as if at home in the middle of this rustic room. Sneaking culinary secrets from  the chefs while we a savoured a rustic , home style European meal with seasonal  delicacies. The sanctuary is surrounded with flickering candles and the sparkle of fresh  flowers ....perfect for an intimate dinner or a close supper with friends. A little secret tucked inside the Style Mile of the capital, Greenhouse on the Ridge is a  delightful journey of discovery. The Greenhouse is a small exclusively and intimate space, where Chefs Flora and Alice  are cooking Live in an open kit...

Sunday night dinner was special. Where did I go? What did I have? Review about the restaurant and the place is coming in my next blog post. For now, enjoy the fashion post. This is what I wore. Sweater: Gucci Skirt: Gift from son: Tommy Hilfiger Boots: Vanilla Moon Watch: Fossil.

Sunday morning I had to attend a Havan. Havan, Yajna or Homa  is one of the most  ancient, spiritual  and  religious practices  in India. However, there is a special meaning to Havan which one must understand to get the true effect of performing a Havan.  A Havan is an offering to God . The prayers are offered along with chanting of Mantras. The Havan also implies a deep meaning, which is, as the twigs and the ghee burns, the Havan reminds us that life is temporary and we will all end just like the wood ends in the Havan. Therefore, before our life is over or  before the journey of life ends , we must add meaning to our lives and live purposefully. For you, to truly understand the meaning of Havan and to get the essence of it, it is best to do the Havan as an offering to God. Offer the twigs and ghee as if you are offering all that you have in your life to Him, to one who has given you this life. This is what I wore. Kash...

Some people are just so insecure and lame. They want to bask in all the limelight at your cost without having/demonstrating any real talent. They would rather even gobble up any appreciation that is coming your way. They would avoid any direct competition with you. They would like to run the race alone. Dancing community is full of insecure, untalented people who talk more about dance and dance less. They plainly tell you how many videos have they watched. As if watching videos will make them great dancers. They would not attend a single workshop, festival, class, anything overseas and proudly say that they learn from the videos of great teachers. As if, it is the same. Recently, I have been confronted with the most insecure person. There was an event organized in Delhi. I have put my pictures (which I always do- since I am so self obsessed) on my blog and on face book. What was the objection raised by this person? Hey, Kiran did not give any credit to me or the event. Was I sup...

These are some pictures from the last Milonga night.
