& this too shall pass =)

This is not really an over used phrase surprisingly, no one has ever said this to me though these days I find myself saying it to other people. I caught it from a couple of movies I watched recently, and then I did a bit of research to find that this phrase originated from the bible, and there was a story on Solomon as well, with this being the moral. I don’t mean to bore ya’all but thought the background was essential.
So yes shit happens (best way to put it) and you find yourself thinking all sorts of stuff, “why me!!”…”my life sucks” … Blah blah blah. Well I’ve been training myself from saying these things, naturally cause I know I don’t mean them. Something goes wrong and I blame Life? That’s a huge, huge uncalled for sort of picking on. So when something goes right what, “my life” is awesome? Now that’s not how things work. Things happen. Like how they’re meant to. You tend to forget you make things happen, or the fact that you can.
Anyway, when you are facing this feeling, if you feel yourself having too much weight on your shoulders, if you feel problems are ALL you can think of, and you know, getting all “emo” or even anywhere close to being dangerously suicidal (you never know who’s reading this!), just remember: this too shall pass. Like how you got through something complicated in the past, this too WILL pass ! Smile ! While you still have teeth … =)

This is Rachel. Rachel loves red, or was it pink now?

Rachel gives the best hugs in the world. And, I liked her smile.

Colaba Causeway ♥ what a colourful world !

Colaba Causeway. That’s it, that’s my third love in Mumbai. The stalls over there boast excellent jewellery, unique yet fashionable and amazingly affordable items.

I’ve always been crazy about jewellery, and to discover this place was to me, like finally finding paradise. Well yeah it’s way hot in the day time to go street shopping, as Mumbai doesn’t really have much of a cold climate, ever, but Causeway remains my favourite point of street shopping in the whole of Mumbai (as far as I’ve seen), it’s almost entirely covered however, so a little shaded, thank God. :]

& for when you’re craving for food or just wanna escape the heat and the crowd…

FOOD! That’s another best part. All these amazing restaurants and bakeries are all over this part of Colaba… the choices are unlimited! There’s Mondegar where it all starts, then you have the extremely famous Leopolds (my favourite), Piccadily, Churchill, and amazing amazing Theos (which I’ve already blogged about), and the usual MOD, Mcdy, subway…etc. You can also easily take a cab to Fort, there you have the brilliant Five Spice (yet to be blogged !) which is close to Kala Godha, which is close to Fashion street! (one of the biggest street shopping experience). Yet, here I’m saying it again, the type of stuff you find in Causeway, somehow ends up really special, beats hill road shopping and linkin road and all those. For me, anyway. =) There’s your cue, GO SHOPAHOLICS!

Oh, and this is very very close to Marine Drive. Can’t get any better right? That’s what I thought. After an exhausting day (and a rather satisfying one for that matter) you can grab a bite and go chill at Marine Drive. NOTE: Marine Drive is at it’s best by 7 pm.

So there we have it! I know the stalls and all the jewellery would naturally appeal mainly just to the ladies, but well who doesn’t like food right?! There’s enough and more places to chill out, so it’s not just a girl’s world.

 ;] Happy shopping !

Another one of those cupcake shops found me!

 

 

This is such a tiny but cute place! They have amazing interior; rot-iron chairs, mirrors and glass tables, not forgetting, rather a wide range of yummy goodies!  It’s such a nice ambience altogether. I keep emphasizing on all these places I blog about how you MUST visit, but it’s so true! One big thing I find here in Mumbai that I don’t have in my hometown are some of these! So today while my cousin and I were coming out of church, I spotted this little bakery, noticed the words “cupcakes” written on it, aaaand, didn’t think twice. I’m glad I didn’t. I had my usual red velvet cupcake… yuuum.

Couldn’t click a picture of the wide selection of amazing goodies, my bad, though I’ve got a snap of a personalized cake they’ve made, doesn’t it look absolutely amazing? Born to shop? with shopping bags? Damn. I want.

The staff was also friendly (which matters more than you’d imagine), the place is loacted right opposite St.Peter’s church in Bandra. What’re you waiting for? GO, GO, GO!
