Update. Fashion show!

So good to be back here writing again after so long…been really busy with stuff (stuff which I’m about to explain, stuff that is certainly exciting!).

This monday, in a couple of hours actually, is the function that our entire college is anticipating. It’s our fashion show. It’s my first ever. Never have I even been to one before, this particular one would be the first time a garment I created gets showcased, yes designed and stitched by me! (SO EXCITING!!) Pictures definitely coming up. Here’s a rough sneak peek… what’s the fun otherwise? ;]

As my garment is all done and finished, all that is left is to find a dress, and shoes for me to wear for the show. Which means only one thing. . . Shopppiiinnggg!

The past couple of weeks have been mad, a lot of fun too but such a crazy load of work, I’ve probably never worked harder! But I feel so content now with everything. Also so good that first year is ending, as I get to go home soon. =) Is it fair to say that’s a little bit more exciting than the show? Hey, it’s been more than 6 months. I miss home. Though these past few days some friends from home have been visiting and that’s just made everything a 100 times better! … I was told beforehand itself, of how fashion design students, much like the medicine ones, don’t really get time for a social life. Unless it’s work related.

I think it’s about to time to round up about whatever I’ve learned from the whole college first year experience. It has truly been something. I’ve certainly done things to be proud of this year. First time living away from home, considering certain difficult situations I faced- language, food, roommate issues, homesickness, the hectic lifestyle of a design student?!?! etc. and to how now things are all worked out. Even from an educational perspective I’m satisfied. Especially with the design aspect of fashion. Such a kick from this year! ^^

Fashion show 2012, bring it!

WAH! BOLLYWOOD

 Back to writing about the greatest restaurants in Mumbai…

If you’re someone who’s lived in mumbai for at least 2 months you’d know Carter’s Rd. If you know Carter’s Rd, then the restaurant “Wah! Bollywood” may ring a bell to you… a very classy looking set-up right there. As the name hints, this restaurant is all about Bollywood. The food choices were mainly Indian dishes, in fact if I remember right, they were all Indian dishes. At this point I should mention, the tandoori chicken I had remains to be one of the best I’ve ever had from an outside restaurant. The chicken was so well cooked; my knife just slid through it as if it were warm butter.

The set-up is certainly one of a kind! Their walls are filled with gigantic     bollywood movie posters, posters of certain actors; for example there was one of Aishwarya Rai from Devdas. The place was practically filled with people when my friend and I entered- such a crowd, that it made us believe this must be a pretty neat restaurant! And it certainly was. Did I have a good time? No doubt.

I’ve been told they have karaoke certain nights, which just screams out FUN RESTAURANT. As the IPL (Indian Premier League) is going on right now- (huge deal here), there was a huge screen inside the restaurant in which they were showing the current match live. Carter’s being an area covered with restaurants, this probably means competition for the restaurants to their left and right. Nevertheless I could notice among people on the street, were staff from other restaurants peering in trying to catch the match. Like I said… cricket is a very huge deal here. ;] Anyway, food was great, service was great, lovely unique ambience, overall, loved it! Found yet another great restaurant in Mumbai. Doesn’t get better than this.
