People these days are confusing being alone with being lonely or vice a versa. One might be alone but not lonely. Rather being surrounded with wrong people, might make you lonely. I feel lost and lonely amongst two faced and superficial people and I feel complete and happy amongst my close and simple friends. It is overwhelming to be a part of the tribe or herd. Owning yourself on the other hand is a great experience. People fight their loneliness by being part of big crowd and they get even more lost, empty and depressed. Have simple relations, few genuine friends, not facebook friends or just friends with whom you pose in pictures. Have friends who are your 4AM friends, who you can call at any time of the day or night, who are there for you when you are sick and in bed not just to party with you. There is no need to "fit in", to be "seen at", to "be a part of", feel the need "to be accepted". Whom and what are you trying to prove? Is it even ...

You two are not my own blood. But you are the only ones who cared for me. When I was in pain, I saw the pain in your eyes. I gave up but you never let me. You were my steadfast support.

I wore this vintage dress again today. Earlier, I have worn it here.  It is 25 year old. 

She is a very dear friend. We have known each other for years and share a special bonding. She is a high profile lawyer and also a fitness freak. But above all, she is a great person with a heart of gold.  For her Birthday, it was a sit down dinner with a group of close knit friends, bonding over intelligent conversation in Sevilla, Claridges. They serve great sangrias (the best one in town) and fabulous tapas and churros that melt your mouth. I am a wearing Ritu Kumar tunic.

India Gate in its full glory after the republic day. An elephant made out of flowers.

Showing my new sweater, which is part of my Christmas gifts  that my friend gave me. I am wearing it on top of a dress from Marks and Spencer, that I have earlier worn here  and here . It is a good idea to wear a sweater or maybe a top over a dress. The dress gets a totally new and fresh look. It looks like a skirt. Heels: From my brand- Mis Amores. I manufacture and sell these. Our dinner time together in Megu, Leela.

Just chilling at home with a friend. A National holiday spent laughing and chit chatting.
