Chennai is my absolutely fav place to buy sarees and each time I visit, I pick up a few. By now, most know I love sarees. This time, I added 4 sarees to my collection,
1. A beautiful pink and orange sari - Pink border with gold embroidery
2. An orange, yellow and pink mix checks sari - Dark Blue embroidered border
3. A hot pink and bright green translucent checked sari
4. Sea green with a beautiful bright orange order with golden thread work and stonework.
Now I am very excited to drape these sarees and cannot wait for an occasion!
Some of us don't enjoy Train Rides, some of us do love them. I belong to the later category. I do love train rides, though not more than 10 or 12 hours. I cannot go more that in the train.
But two days ago, I took a train to Chennai. The morning Shatabdi - 6:00 A.M. There is some joy in the early morning hours - fresh air, no pollution, no traffic and some serenity around. I admit, I love it.
As I hopped on the train at 5:30 A.M, my joy knew no bounds. The train started at 6 on the dot. Those five hours to Chennai felt so relaxing. A book in hand, music in my ears and five hours of bliss.
Look forward to the next time and the feeling will just be the same!
Off late I am repeat mode for a few songs and the list is as below,

5. Him & I
I love music and I listen to what catches my fancy. That's all for now!
Cab Pool - Is something I have never done. I take the cabs but never a share. Yesterday, I had gone out and my friend suggested I do cab sharing. So, I decided to take it up. The cab got booked and I took the ride.
It was a long distance and there was one guy already sitting. I sat in the front and started chatting with the driver. (Yes, I talk to all!!) This guy was such a good guy that the whole ride felt so pleasant. We picked up another guy and then no more. The other two got dropped of before me and I was the last drop - off. The entire journey that lasted close to 40 mins was amazingly pleasant and smooth.
Now when you think, it's the drivers who either make the journey smooth or not so nice. A good driver actually makes a difference to that journey!

A friend of mine gifted me a book titled Shiva. The title was intriguing enough and it is written by - Devdutt Patnaik. I was reading this author's book for the first time.
I'm done reading this book and I must say, Boy! I am impressed to the core. His writing was so beautiful that I couldn't put down the book till I finished.
For all you fellow readers, this author's book is a must read. I have ordered the next book titled - Vishnu to start. Let's see how that book turns out!
I was meeting my kindergarten friends after a really long time. Yeah, I know. It's awesome right? Known them since Kindergarten days.
The last time we all caught up was in the year 2009. Yes, we all caught up again in 2019. A decade later.
So yesterday, we all spent a fine evening at Starbucks, chatting none to a dozen. We had so many topics to talk about and there wasn't a dull moment. We spoke from Technology to Weather. A good catch up walking down memory lane.
Until next time!

Since July 1st - beginning of H2, I have started a new habit. I got myself a new notebook in which I note down LIFE LESSONS.
Everyday I listen, read or come across some interesting life lessons and I decided to keep a notebook to jot it all down. One mustn't miss such bright quirks, because you never know what Life has in store through these lessons we come across.
So, this book is going to help me reinforce the nice lessons that I shouldn't forget!
