Wedding Diaries: The Engagement

Image
Hey everyone! I got engaged recently, and a lot of people have been asking me about my dress, jewelry, makeup, etc. So I thought I'd do a detailed post that might help the future brides in Chennai. The Dress: As thrilling as shopping can be, it's also a nightmare when it comes to finding your dream dress.  * M ake a list of all the stores you want to visit, and be sure to visit every one of them before deciding on a dress. Be patient. Don't settle for less.  * Don't bring along more than two or three people with you while shopping.  * Choose the dress that best suits your body type. My first dress was a simple lehenga from Rang Roop, Anna nagar. It's a relatively new store that opened up around September last year. They have an exquisite collection of lehengas, sarees and salwars. After the lehenga, I changed into a Saree from Tulsi Silks, Mylapore. It's one of the finest stores for sarees in the city. I decided to pair the saree with a co

Wedding Diaries: D-day

So Facebook just reminded me that it's been a year since I wrote my engagement post . Thanks for the amazing response, you guys! It has over a 1000 views and even got featured on ezwed.in  ðŸ˜Š I pretty much outlined all the basic stuff on how to choose your dress, jewelry, makeup artist and photographer in the previous post, so I'm just going to get down to telling my experience. Wedding shopping can be really stressful and it's not something you can do in a day or two. I had about 3 months ahead of me and it still wasn't enough time.  Planning is everything. The Sarees: I decided to go to Kanchipuram this time. Trust me when I say that you'll never find such a myriad of sarees in unique colour combinations anywhere else in the city. I spent a full 12 hours looking at sarees only to end up feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. I picked something I wasn't entirely happy with.  It gnawed at me all the way back home and I finally blurted it out to my m

Almost There: My Pregnancy Experience

Image
Today, I'm exactly two weeks away from  my   due date .  Two weeks!  Where did the time go? Pregnancy just  flew  by, and here I am, anxiously awaiting labour .  T he idea of giving birth terrifies me. I generally have a very low tolerance for pain and fear of the unknown is starting to get to me.   When I found out I was pregnant, I wasn't too thrilled. I was about a year and a half into my marriage, and I was nowhere near ready. But then I realised that you can never be prepared for something as big as parenthood.   The first three months were awful.  Your body goes through lots of changes  –  physical and emotional. While some changes were obvious, others were unexpected and took me by surprise.   I was constantly hungry and tired. I ate like a pig all day and threw up after dinner every night. Things started getting better in the second trimester. On the downside, I put on so much weight that I couldn't fit into anything in my wardrobe. It was dep

Childhood

Remember the time when you had fun no matter what season it was? You were happy when it was raining, when the sun was shining, when the leaves were falling. You were happy all the time. You were a kid. Kids have imagination. They are never bored because everything around them is alive. They see it, they feel it. They believe in everything. They dream their big dreams and they know for sure that one day they will come true. They are not afraid to experiment, to try something new. They are not afraid to fall. For them life's a game and they just have fun. I miss being a kid. Here's to those happy days! Sanity and happiness, the impossible combination! School bags and lunch boxes! Playing in the neighbourhood! Hide 'n' seek! Those little fights over silly things! Swing! Freedom and fun! Those tiny things that scared you! Bedtime stories! Toys! That one thing you were possessive about! Drawing and crafts! Bi
