Saffron, White, Green accessories

May our great nation always bloom with happiness & prosperity... Happy Independence Day to you.

My accessories for the day, celebrating the spirit of Independence:

Dyed tri-color cotton crushed Dupatta ready to adorn my simple white khadi kurta and a green cotton salwar.

Tri-color bangles - We get such a wide range of beautiful bangles here in India, the best way to add a splash of color to any outfit.

Matching earrings & Trendy toe rings (Of course, I won’t wear all three – they are too cute! So I could not resist posting this picture here! These can be worn as finger rings too.)




This Independence Day post is an inspiration from Pooja of My Creative Ideas. She has come up with this theme: Saffron, White & Green for Independence Day week.

I have browsed through her earlier events to get an idea & I realized that most of the participants are extremely talented as they have created beautiful recipes to participate! Now, I am just a toddler when it comes to cooking – leave alone create something on my own! :( Sigh… However I love the theme & so decided to participate. Here is my entry.

Fridge magnets event

I am new to blogging, started some weeks ago. I never imagined that this would open doors to so many interesting, informative & beautiful blogs. The icing on the cake is the most interesting events hosted by fellow bloggers!

Veda from Iyengars Kitchen was the first visitor to my blog & she has been kind enough to encourage me. When I visited her space - she was hosting this event - Fridge magnets which is so simple yet interesting & cool! So, here is my entry to my first blog event!

I do not have many magnets here in Bangalore as most of my collection is in Hyderabad (Mom's place). This is my new collection with started post my marriage.

My favourite... Is'nt he cool :)
