I would like to live here

Imagine waking up to the ocean every morning...
Imagine living perched on an outcrop jutting out into the sea...
Imagine being connected to the world via a suspension bridge 75 feet above the sea...

 Newquay, Cornwall, England


 What a lovely spot to sip your morning coffee or tea...

 ..... And to read

... And to paint

It's all yours for only $1.9 million here! Have a great weekend!

Indian Folk Art Market

Check out this wonderful article in the New York Times. I attended the Indian Folk Art Market at the Asia Society mentioned in the article. Not only, did I get to see Kakuben Lalabhai Parmar, I got to interact with some of the artisans :)




As can be noticed here on the right side of the pic above, each of the stands had an explanation of the traditional indian art/craft that it represented.

Traditional methods like Kalamkari, we all know about, but there are some others that I came across that I'm going to chronicle here over a series of blog posts.

 And here is what I bought as my take home!
 Cowrie shell prwettee bangles!
