Fall and fur!

New York in fall looks one of the most beautiful places on earth. Fall foliage and colors look like an artistic color palette, which I always wanted to capture. My very talented cousin, Dr. Shantanu Dutt, was traveling from India on work in October. I took the full advantage of this opportunity and asked him to do a photo shoot for the blog. He is a doctor and professional photographer. He has received several awards and his work has been featured in many magazines.

So here are some of the pics from the shoot.

Enjoy!

India: a desi wedding!

 

Have you ever heard of a term ‘Big fat indian wedding‘? We indians like to splurge on weddings and festivities, and it’s normally 3-4 days long affair. I always suggest my non-indian friends that if they ever get an invite to an indian wedding, they should definitely go as it could be an opportunity of a lifetime. My India trip this year was solely dedicated to my brother’s roka (engagement ceremony), cousin’s wedding and festivities. It was a beautiful day wedding in November and the weather was amazing. I would love to share all the pictures with you guys, but for now I am just sharing the wedding pictures. Let me introduce you to my family and my extended family members through these pictures. I hope you will enjoy.

P.S: I received some queries regarding my dress, the dress is designed by Anjani by Geetika Singhal. (You can find her on my facebook friends list.)

Paris~ two years ago!

Paris was one of my dream destinations where I always wanted to go and my first trip happened in the fall of 2013. I loved this city so much that I recently visited it again in September and my obsession is not over yet. In my last post, I pretty much shared everything and suggested the recommended point of interests, restaurants, and tips for a wonderful Paris vacation, so this post has all the interesting pictures I wanted to share with you.
