Charm and magic continues..

The rustic old world charm that continues its spell on me today and the days to come...

House of MG,Ahmedabad

way to lotus pool

the balconies and bougainvilleas

fragrant corridors

the entrance

the sea shells 

Inside Arts Reverie,Ahmedabad

these floorings

a glimpse of greens

feet fetish

the glowing greens

patterns and paintings

Ahmedabad that charmed us !

                              A trip to Ahmedabad and that amused and delighted us in various ways... more here

the old burnished feel,the fragrance as you walk down

the various name boards

the gujarati language

their love for the pink roses,

the antique love

 

lipsmacking food at house of MG,Ahmedabad

homely food at Arts Reverie,where we stayed

the peek into the flooring

the teas and the books that had been devoured

betel leaves in a small gujarati pot

the very minute you by pass in your everyday life,that amused and still keeps us very amused.Back with more....

December Days

The special days in December,my tree with lots of  red and a dashes of gold.The cakes that we baked and  tasted and the teas that we enjoyed.The last few days of December hanging out  near Our Christmas tree..It is still not packed:)-

i remember the Lyrics of December days..

"December days pass my way

Dawn meets dusk when i get up

Snowy streets under my feet

The street lamp's glow

Its the only sun I know

I dont even recall

The smell of summer

Pictures on my wall wont bring me

That smell of summer

December days I'm betrayed

Santa claus never came

I made my wishes

I was so good

But i never really Understood

That smell of Summer

December
