Of Travels, Festivals and Stitching

Hola dear friends, I have been MIA for 2 months now thanks to more travels and crazier work! So, here are some of the key things that I think are worth mentioning here 

During my last travel to Bangalore (the 2nd one), I visited the Indian Music Experience museum, which was a very different experience. It gave us a picture of the evolution of Indian music, various types of Indian music, types of instruments and so much more

Then we went to Amritapuri to be with our beloved Amma (Mata Amritanandamayi) for Vijayadasami
Had to take a picture with this life size cutout of Amma

Then last week, I went to Kolkata for a very short 2 days trip

 

I was blessed to visit Kali Ghaat and get Maa Kaali's darshan, which was totally unplanned

This is a picture of a beautiful skyline that I took in Kolkata while driving down in the cab

I managed to put in a few stitches on project Amma

Here's where I am at now..

..and this is all ORTS YTD. I have only one more page to finish Her!! Am hoping to finish it by end of the year

Amidst all the travels, Navarathri and Deepavali came and went. Both were pretty low key this time as I did not have enough time to setup a big golu for Navarathri and no time to make sweets for Deepavali. We managed with store bought sweets this time, but we enjoyed both festivals a lot in a simple way

So, friends that's all that has happened on my end. Until next time.. Be Happy.. Keep Stitching.. Au Revoir!!
