And I will OWLways love you...


I don't know when my obsession with owls began. I guess it started with Harry Potter and from that point on I began collecting an assortment of all things owl. 


It began with Key-chains because I collect those too. I basically get excited about the smallest things which has resulted in me collecting all sorts of things. From tooth- picks to match boxes, marbles even. I guess I am a hoarder. Though I like to call my self a connoisseur of "simple fine pleasures". No matter how bad the weather around me, they guarantee a smile or at-least the comfort of having something that I can carry with me because I am too old now to be carrying my doll with me for company!


This is the bling- max thing I own. Truly. I am not a shine and startle person.



This owl has seen the best and worst in me. The key-chain that has the keys to my vehicle, office and my cabinet.


Yellow eyed owl key chain, because I love Yellow!











The OWL Vase has a nice spot on the top most corner shelf in my room. Nice view point for someone stationed so high. Every time I look at it I invariably start singing Every breath you take by the Police!  







Owl Ear Accessories :)


Sri-Lankan moolah has owlies printed on their Rs.20/- notes.



Inspired by Sherlock I always wanted to own a pocket watch and a Pipe.



I know it is goofy. But come on, it has major cute quotient.



Owl Flip-flops. Cool or what?


This Chain is a treasure :) The perfect thing to wear with black tops :)



Bagged me an owl purse too.



The tiny thing is good for a gloss, tissues and my card.





My Chumbak Magnet. A gift from the brother and the bhabhi. :)







My love for owls has been fueled by my friends and family everything above are gifts from my brother, sister in law, friends and even my boss. So you see, this obsession has transcended all sense of sane.
Apparently Owls are considered lucky in some cultures and a bad omen in others. To me they are but a bit of comfort to carry around in any form. We all have our little quirks. One of mine are owls. 

Woot! :) Have a hoot.

@Akshitha Thank you :D

@Antarik Nah, I'd rather have them come and reside in a tree at my house and trust me enough to come and take a few treats from me :)

The Oceanic Velvet Cake with a Mother of Pearl Frosting©

Image
My favourite cake is the Red Velvet cake. I like the colour, the texture, the salty-sweet-cream cheese frosting and that mild zing of flavours which alternate between cocoa, vanilla and citrusy. I am not a food blogger. I just have started blogging about food because the pandemic has invariably brought out the chef in me and I have started experimenting on a scale I would not otherwise have. I am usually satisfied with a small cake. It takes less time and less effort… that’s what I thought. Until I decided to make a layered cake. Same time and same amount of effort. After I was done, I realised that baking actually isn’t rocket science. It does take some patience, understanding of how ingredients combine and a bit of artistry to make it pretty. I compensate for my lack of artistry with imagination and creativity. I had set out to bake me a Red Velvet cake. The moment I realised that my birthday will also be during the lockdown I knew I’d have to go about fixing this wi

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Desitude

The feeling is fleeting and yet for the mere seconds that the thought lasts you realize that you are watching the evolution of a generation that claims to be less corrupt and one that is equipped to take on the world. At the same time you notice that this so called generation has a thick pseudo american accent, ideas are plenty but do they apply to us [Indians] and whether this flash of insight was just a piece read in the news paper? Seriously after having moved to Bangalore I have started noticing things that weren’t so evident in Mysore . Things like a person’s attitude towards people – In case you are dressed up like a westerner you evidently have brains. [because you need to have brains to have a very well coordinated psychedelic wardrobe.] Any one clad in salwar kameez or anything remotely Indian is “ Oh! so still living in the dark ages!” . Anyone who speaks English is smart. Anyone who speaks Hindi is a gawar. Anyone who paints her nails black, bottle
