Rain it Pours!!

§§§

Rain it pours and its dancing in my Soul now,

Rain it pours and it drowns away my thoughts,

Rain it pours and everything goes silent,

Rain it pours and its dancing in my soul.

Hi Guys,

Even though the winter has come in Game of Thrones, in Bangalore its raining crazy. And when i say crazy i mean it has a mind of its own. It will be hot in the afternoons like its still summer and so you decide to go out without an umbrella and bam!! it starts raining. And i am a kind of person who doesn't like to carry things in my hand except my cellphone neither do i like carrying huge totes n purses. I am the small bodycross kinda girl. And this always lands me taking shelter beneath a tree or under the roof of a shop. The only good thing about Bangalore rains is that they don't last for hours. So i guess it kinda balances it out.

I have a love hate relationship with Rain. I am born, bought up in Goa and there it pours cats and dogs. Its like someone opened the shower tap and forgot to close it and went for vacation. Even when it stops you can fill the dampness in the air. I always feel sleepy in such weather. I remember my dad literally pulling me out of bed and dragging me to school. I mean who wants to leave their comfy bed and go to school, half wet cause you are not a ninja in opening the umbrella as you get out of the car. And then keep those wet umbrellas near your leg cause obviously we cannot have 60 open umbrellas in a classroom. The only good memory i have of rainy days was when it would rain so heavily that the nearby stream would be flooded and school will be closed or when my mom would make hot onion pakodas in evening or having cycle races with raindrops trying to catch me. Personally i find the cracking of black sky with sudden lightning is one of the most beautiful thing witness.

Anyways things have changed and i don't have to go to school anymore. 'Yayyy!!' and i am starting to enjoy getting wet in rain a little bit. Its kinda calms you down and makes you feel free like no matter how screwed up your life is at this moment its all getting washed out with the water pouring on your skin. But then i certainly prefer to be tucked in rather than getting wet :P BTW, I watched 4 movies this week :- Dil Dhadkne Do, It Follows and 2 evergreen oldies Hum Apke Hai Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hai. I would say DDD wasn't as good as i had expected it to be. It follows is a good movie if you are the kind to discuss about movies and their hidden meanings and stuff. And i also caught up on ep 9 of Game of Thrones and i have to say its been one of the best episodes of this season. Actually the first 'WTH' moment of this season. I didn't go out much after i tried once and got drenched. So i have got my rainy outfit for you guys. I wore a flannel knotted at my waist with a black maxi skirt with slits.

Until next time, go get yourself wet, Cheers !!

Of Songs and Skirts!

Hii.....

Its been 1 hour and i have been listening to "When i'm gone" by Lulu and the Lampshades which was also covered by Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect on repeat. In short i am addicted to it at the moment. Doesn't it happens so, that you are listening to your playlist and suddenly you see a song in a different light,like never before. Its like the song has been made for you. It kinda gives me a feeling of those Art experts who find deep underlying meanings in Modern Art Painting though it looks just random stuff to us.I am not going anywhere but i don't know i am kind of feeling it. Like its trying to tell me something.

I am not much of a superstitious person but i do believe in signs that destiny or some Higher power gives you. And i feel music is one such way via which "destiny"communicates with us. Anytime i am in a dilemma i would put on any one of my fav radio stations and i would get answers to my queries through the songs that get played. I know it sounds stupid but it has hardly ever failed me. Yeah, it depends on my interpretation and maybe it helps me find the answers i already knew deep down. But its a help nonetheless. And doesnt everything in this world is premeditated and happens for a reason. So maybe the songs that play too.

Another thing that starts with "S" are skirts :-P Its lame but i didnt know how to go about it. Skirts are one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. You can play it up or down, from Sexy to Casual. It works always. My favorite are the skater skirts. I am 5.2 and i feel they make me look tall :-D

I wore this skirt for a late lunch our with friends. I paired my lace skater skirt from Forever 21 with a casual denim blue shirt from Max. I would have to say there is hardly anything i wear more than this denim shirt. From just a shirt to a jacket it has been everything to me. It can dress down any outfit. For shoes i wore some nude pumps from Jade. For accessories i wore an owl necklace and watch.For face i kept it bare except a little kajal and eyeliner and little dash of  MAC Ruby Woo on lips.

We went to Over the top - terrace lounge in Kormangla and i would rate it 3/5. I would say its a more of night place then afternoon-eveningish. There were hardly any people there. The place is nice and comfy. You can sit and chat for hours. The food was tasty.In all it was a day well spent.
