Googlebun Fridays (Week 17)

Happy Friday everyone! Just wanted to share a quick note before publishing today’s post – I will be discontinuing the “Googlebun Fridays” posts from next week. I was recently analyzing current reader engagement with the blog, and noticed that the Friday posts are the least read feature on the site. Hence, I will be revisiting the post format and content for Googlebun Fridays. Once I am ready with something new, I will start publishing this feature again! So for the last time this year, here are my top picks from the web for this week. What have you been reading?…

Sparkle #192: Incredible India!

India – the land of multiple sights, sounds and experiences. A country which belongs to both the rich and the poor, the old and the young alike. This is the same place where you will find something as enchanting as the Taj Mahal, and something as depressing as the polluted river Yamuna. People here can be extremely helpful and friendly, or they can be really good con artists who will not shy away from making an extra buck off a gullible tourist. Brimming with diverse but complementary cultures, India can be loud, exaggerated and overwhelming for anyone. But once you spend some time here, it becomes easy to spot a method to it’s madness,…

Quirky, novelty bags are everywhere – on the ramp, on the screen and on your favorite celebrity. If you want to make a big, bold and bright style statement, a novelty bag is a must have in your wardrobe. It is one of the best ways to mix up playfulness with high street fashion!

Out With The Old, In With The New

I am writing this post from a room which is bare, empty and feels cold, even though today is a particularly warm summer day. All the paraphernalia on my desk has been packed in boxes, and the pictures and postcards on the walls have been stripped off. No, I am not moving anywhere. I am simply re-building my study room / work-space. After a lot of thinking, planning, postponing and some more planning, I finally decided that I had to re-do my room this year. Over the last few years, I have collected and parked a lot of memories and a whole lot more objects in…
