LAST MINUTE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SPREE!
            I was utterly bored contemplating the prospect of spending a  lonely Christmas.
 Then a friend with the similar crisis messaged me and all of a sudden we decided to go window shopping and treat ourselves to cheese cakes. And since its Christmas we pooled in all of our winter clothes and decided to dress warm even though the city of Calcutta, India doesnt offer such opportunity( it is always insanely warm throughout the year! and only mildly cold in winter)

Finally i took out my coat which i got from Promod, and also boots from Promod (yes, i love Promod) and the woollen hat from Accessories and the unseen blouse from Latin Quarters( it has a cute Peter Pan Collar which i absolutely love) and the pants  and bags from a market in Calcutta where we get all stuffs from Bangkok, Thailand. We went rambling around Forum Mall, sadly i have no pictures of my sister-in-loneliness.( I forgot my camera so had to take pics from my cellphone)

two cute penguins outside the mall which were absolutely adorable!

and finally a chocolate cake for the girls in my dormitory :) ( didnt ate though, i dont like chocolate uhuh)

 In the end my faceless friend got herslef a purse and a cardigan, while i got a cake for my room-mates. It was indeed merry just before Christmas but after that.. well, if having a fantastic dream is legal for a Christmas night, then yes! i had a merry Christmas!

MY OBSESSION WITH CLOUDS AND SKY:

I love love love clouds and anything to do with the upper atmosphere, beyond that and even space...My idiosyncarsies dont end there but goes on till people call me mad hehe

That mysterious blue sky that intrigues me till butterflies burst forth from my tummy...

That fickle clouds that morph their symmetry according to my will and imagination...

That wide infinity of blue, promising so much possiblities and fantasies...

aoi aoi ana sora(across that blue blye sky)

That ominous dark sky with jewels studded across with velvetty train of dreams...

Those constellations that boast of authorities over mortals fates...

And the lonely moon that encourages howls from every lonely wandering wolves...

tsukii tsukii (moon moon)

The sky, a gateaway of every Romantic hearts...

A dimension where dreams can be embraced...

A dreamer, like me, who loses herself it its manificience and untold mysteries.

I Take A Trip Into Fairy World Unprepared!...

              I'm not much of a girls night outer but i was excited this time when we were going to the beach and then dinner at a restaurant in New Digha, West Bengal. And thrilled with the idea of braiding (which i recently fell in love with after watching some youtube videos ) my friends' hairs i decided to go Disney on them... I havent practiced yet and honestly they were my first trials and it came out pretty sweet and my girls totally loved it. I am already booked for doing one of my friends' hair for her date :)

princesses heads minus princesses gowns :)

              I did the Snow White and The Huntsman hair braid of Kristen Stewart for my first friend and mermaid's braid for the other. It did'nt came out gorgeous but it was gorgeous enough for them. Next time i'm going to make sure they have gowns or dresses at least when they come begging for my hand. hehe. Then mentally they were princesses... We did'nt have any Princes or Knights at that to escort us (sob sob...) but we sure got our white horse (Taylor Swift should have hired a white horse instead of waiting for one...heheh).
 So we found this guy at the beach and we got our ride with no fuss. We exchanged some papers for service and that was it.

the White horse with our chivalric footman

               All fairytales have antagonist(s) in the plot well ours were annoying enemy subjects who tried their best to kidnap us hahaha... But hey whats a fairytale without a villain??? or villains????
And ohhhh what did i do with my hair??? I let it go wild with my natural curls... I'm born a princess..heheh.
Wild and royalty doesnt click but hey its 2012 after all.

My fantasy about Harry Potter and Hogwarts.

Forbidden Forrest:

!

my own version of Forbidden forrest.

           The spell casted by J.K Rowling struck home literally home... wherever i go i liked to believe that im living in the Wizarding world... the charm has died down with the passage of time but it still lingers somewhere in the back of my mind ready to invade my life whenever i go home. My hometown Ukhrul (surprsingly its even in the wikipedia so make sure you check out) is where i grew up until my college years. I like to think it as somewhere in Scotland but its way sunnier but it also has its rough times. Its a hilly district so you can imagine the perpetual rain and yeah the bitter cold bites of the winter air... But i like it as it gives me that magic in the air which i find it whenever i immersed myself in the book.

          The picture above is taken from Duncan park in Ukhrul in June,2011 because it somewhat felt like the Forbidden Forrest... i know its suppose to be dark and ominous but my imagination took care of it... just suppose that its Quidditch season and the clouds are passing over the forrest..hahaha. We might actually see Harry with his Firebolt or maybe Buckbeak... and ahem if you have witnessed a death or deaths you will find many thestrals flying with their skeletal wings.... See right there!

           I've read the series i dont know how many times but it never bores me. Its been a year since i have not reread it but i'm hoping to do so this October when i go home for the Durga Puja and Deepawali holidays. Of course not to celebrate the festivals but any holiday is enough to celebrate it. Being a Christian i'm more looking forward to Christmas. And now the name "witch" gets my interest spike up to several degrees.I  have googled Salem Witch Trials, and look up to the dictionary for different forms of magic, its synonyms and antonym and any i mean any! sorts of magical themes... Recently i got hooked to The Secret Circle serial. Nothing like Harry Potter and i self-inflicted nightmares for two days. It was not scary but some scenes were just too much for my delicate heart. Harry Potter is the greatest book(s) so far and i love how it totally transports me to its world of magic.

P.S: shhhhh withcraft still prevails in my hometown though we have been converted to Christianity for a century.. There are still witch doctors and they sure know who is possessing who, how to jinx people and the art of necromancy(talk to death people's spirits, derive assistance from then...). but on a brighter note its subdued but it still persists till date. ohhhh and dont let me start with legends of werewolves and long-haired grandmothers yes all safely woven into the bedtime stories of naughty children.

Miracle  in my flowerbed

Sometimes we miss out beautiful things  in nature because we never care to to stop and look. If we go blind for one day i wonder how our reaction will be the next day we get our eyesight back... Will we be able to feel the breath of nature??? Nature is alive and breathing. I always get reminded of the fact that i have eyes by this photo. My only sister who is ten years younger than me noticed this and decided to preserve it for me. 

Thank you Zasoon. :)
