Reminiscence

My childhood photograph

The Thangka

Gautama Buddha

I was going through my childhood album when I came across my photoraph with his holiness Dalai Lama. . This photograph transports me back to that proud moment when I received an award for painting from his holiness Dalai Lama. I still remember the topic of the painting –Peace. I don’t possess that painting as it was supposed to be kept by the Tibetan society. Along with a certificate I got this beautiful Thangka painting .It is made up of pure silk and I truly love its colors.
It has been nine long years since I met his holiness Dalai Lama. I hope I get to meet him at Emory University as he would be visiting the university in early October. He would be giving talk on “The Pillars of Responsible Citizenship in the 21st Century Global Village”.

Hope you enjoyed the post

P.S-You all must be wondering how this reminiscence links to this fashion blog. Coincidentally I’m wearing all blue attire which is one of the colors of Emory University's emblem

In keeping with the spirit of Emory, I decided to go to Taj Mahal in Agra because of its magnificent white color. The cobalt blue color of the university’s emblem was compensated by my cotton blazer. Taj Mahal is so big that you would really get tired exploring it .So it is really advisable to carry a water bottle and of course don’t miss out on your pair of sunglasses.
The entry to Taj Mahal is through the Great Gate called Darwaza-I-Rauza. It has beautiful carvings and Urdu calligraphy on it. Opposite to the gate is Meena Bazaar where you would find specialties of Agra. Don’t forget to capture a picture of Taj Mahal through the gate. The interior as well as exterior beauty of Taj Mahal is famous worldwide but on a personal front, I found the interiors of the Taj Mahal mosque more fascinating than the interiors of Taj Mahal. On the backside of Taj Mahal you will see river Yamuna. On the banks of this river Shahjahan was getting a monument built in his name. But due to his demise this remained uncompleted.
It was time to go back to Delhi after nearly two hours of exploration of the Taj Mahal. Sadly, we could not visit any other monument. On my way back, I came across certain funny things such as World Trade Centre now open in Noida,  a woman continuously vomiting on the road out of the moving vehicle and names of places such as Transport Nagar. It was a good short break from work & study and a day well spent with my family.
Hope you enjoyed the post!

I absolutely adore this marks& spencer top .They have given it a new twist by adding cute bows on the sides of the top.My sister recently got me these wide legs from overseas. I had been eyeing for them since the past two months.They are the most comfortable pair of wide legs out of the ones I possess.

P.S-Can you believe these sunglasses are nearly 25 years old? They still haven't lost there essence.
