When I told my friends, I was off on a vacation over the weekend they wanted to know my destination. And when I mentioned the name of the town in Andhra Pradesh, they were amused that instead of taking a break from the heat, I was in fact jumping from the frying pan and right…
A Nice, Long Weekend
So the much awaited long weekend is finally here, with elections and festivals lined up.

DIY – My Try At Up-Cycled Bottle Art
Got plenty of empty glass bottles lying at home, why don’t you up-cyle them to add to your home or garden decor? There are many ways you can up-cycle bottles, you can make lamps with them, candle/tea light holders, paint them or do thread work around them. I love this particular form of work and…
