Silver Jhumkas - CBM

If there is something that makes us go weak in the knees, then it has to be Indian jewelry! What is not to love about our beautiful jhumkas and mang tikkas? Even Indian prints like paisleys, ikat, bandhini are to die for.
Recently we even saw how Indian fashion is catching up internationally like Christian Louboutin's Bollywood inspired Collection (here) and Karl Lagerfeld's Paris Bombay Collection (here).

We are starting this new section where we will feature one of our favourite, Cheap buy of the Month. Let us know how you like this new section :)

   Silver Jhumkas

Price: Rs 120

Place: Elco Market, Bandra Linking Road

We absolutely love this pair. There is something about Indian jewelry that makes us go completely gaga.

Privacy! Is it a lot to ask?

            In this city of dreams, with its light, passion and vigor, there seems nothing that cannot make us happy. Yet time and again, as much as we love Mumbai, we struggle to cope with how it works. Space, privacy are words unheard of over here.
           People cannot keep a distance, cannot respect your privacy even if you are one of those kinds who hardly socialize. This constant need to know the details of all the people in your life might be frustrating someone beyond measure (example = us!). Really! What exactly is so interesting about what's going on in my love life? or what i'm studying? And now that you've poked and prodded me till I answer all your nosey questions, who gave you the right to judge? So i'm just doing ordinary B.A. while your boy is doing engineering? Well! Congo aunty and thanks for the unasked information!
         If invasion of mental privacy wasn't enough, the physical part comes in. You can practically never be alone! Most parents don't approve of closed doors of rooms, sitting at a cafe alone means getting weird glances, private time on trains, buses is a joke! So when? When can we just sit, with a cup of coffee, with mental and physical privacy and just be able to breathe?

                                                              Questions, questions!

On a lighter note we clicked these pictures before catching up with an old friend over the movie  'Ishqzaade'. Diana liked it, I didn't! Rare clash of opinions! :P Have you seen it yet? Share it with us in the comments section.


P.S. Thank you guys for showing us so much love in the blogging world. We love each of your comments and are grateful to come across so many awesome people :)
