Kashmiri needle work suit

Image
Have you seen my today's instagram post of the same outfit ? I wore it for a lunch with friends. This is a suit which has been restored and has got a new trendy look. This is really old piece. Since it is hand embroidered Kashmiri needle work, I was neither wearing it (as it seemed old fashioned) nor discarding it (as it has beautiful hand embroidery on it). See the old one here . I received as gift in 2008 when I had traveled to Srinagar.  In 2010, I wore it here . Today, you see a new look. Which one do you like better? The old traditional one or this one? Seeing my old pics, I realised, I have changed a lot in years. Do you also think so? 

Tango addict

Image
Tango is very addictive. Although the consequences of this addiction are primarily positive, many dancers have reported experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they don’t dance. The symptoms include being sad and feeling uncomfortable.  Tango comes as a package. It is highly volatile and full of emotions that are not fake. One feels and experiences love, anger, frustration, guilt, sadness, everything and one keeps going back to it with venegeance. Relationships are made and broken in tango. Break ups happen but tango continues. There are self-confessed tango addicts, whose addiction is not limited to tango. Tango takes over their life, lifestyle, choices, sleep, etc. One travels for tango, to attend festivals or workshops with their favorite maestros or let me put it more clearly, in search of that one magical and blissful tanda, that one magical embrace that transports you to heaven. Tangueros shop keeping tango and milongas in mind. The whole wardrobe undergoes a change...

Lodhi open art gallery

Image
Lodhi open art gallery is an excellent work of street art. It was on my to do list for long. Today we biked through those lanes. I must say it was one of the best rides I did till date. Very pleasant, picturesque, no traffic, quite and of course, followed by a nice breakfast. Days like these make me happy and make me wish that there are more of such days.  

Lunch at Kylin

Image
Today was a sweet and nice lunch at Kylin with few friends. If you are going there, I would highly recommend having their sushi and dim sums. Their veg lettuce wraps are also nice. For dessert, do not miss their special fried ice cream. I would also recommend skipping their papaya salad and clay pot veggie rice. Even the Pad Thai was not so great. Consider skipping that too. For a drink, I highly recommend magical ming. I did not take food pics but here are our pics satiated after a sumptuous meal.  The cape, which is a gift from a friend, has been worn here before. Which way is it styled better? Previously or today?
