Asahi India Glass store for auto and architectural needs Never been much fond of glass except for admiring the occasional crockery at dining events, but the utility of it, seems to be far beyond, and also more dynamic. Asashi India Glass (AIS) recently unveiled their new store in South-Extension (Arjun Nagar), Delhi, where as can be seen, has dedicated areas for windshield customers (car owners), and those needing architectural support. More than just a store launch, it was a lot about the real innovation one can bring in with glass, should one be willing to spend money and have the taste for it.

Follow my blog with Bloglovin   Festivities and decor of the S & S Trunk Show 2015 The S&S Trunk Show, started in 2011, took place yet again at the Mansion of the Hyaat Regency hotel in New Delhi. On the 4th of July, new and veteran labels alike took part of the maze of a retail experience, which was about fashion, style, and endless shoppers looking for decking up their wardrobes and collections. So popular is the show for sellers, that it is already in the 15th season since it began in 2011, being the brainchild of Sonam Pall and Shreya Dalmia Agarwal. Their penchant for highlighting some of fashion's most elite brands continues, as their past records include names like Roberto Cavalli, Missoni, Emilio Pucci, Bally, Porsche Design, Jimmy Choo, Furla, Alexander McQueen, Dior Kids, Baby Ralph Lauren, Armani Junior, Prada, Ted Baker, Fendi, Outhouse, and Valliyan apart from various brands across the border.

  Smokey's interior wall detailing the brands on board It's summer, its hot, and everyone wants something comfortable, decent looking, and not over the top expensive to wear. What this means is, there are a set of brands out there trying to reach out to the crowd with their own creative samples as to what would suit them best. That is how exactly a bunch of bloggers landed up at New Delhi's Smokey's BBQ & Grill, for an evening of cocktails and fashion, by designer Avni Aneja, creator of the Bonhomie label. The settings were perhaps a bit ill-fitted when it comes to dimensions of the restaurant, but the idea of getting the young to come together, certainly worked perfectly.

Deco Window's 4-pack box Garden Torch The recent weeks have been spent in finding out all that is beautiful in other places, but there is a time for change for certain change, and look towards one's own home. That is the reason why the Deco Window garden torch was the focus this time, was because fashion is generally thought to be narrowed down to a few variables such as clothing. This is about fashion for the home. This is about fashion one can use to make a personal style statement. Hence, here is the 4-set of the garden torch by Deco Window, out of which, a single one will be shown in for the demo.

Kanelle by Kanika The capital city of Delhi gets warmed up for reasons other than just the weather itself; its about what happens in the circuit of fashion and lifestyle in the industry. On Friday the 17th, Kanelle, the Spring-Summer collection by designer Kanika Jain was on display at her boutique in the Shahpur Jat area of New Delhi. From the beautiful designer (mentionably so!) herself, the theme of the collection on display was earthy with strong natural inspiration, with the sense of European touches in the styling.

  The setup at the Bholasons outlet Tarun Tahiliani for Azva, the collection on display at the Bholasons outlet in Gurgaon, was precisely for emphasis on the point of the title; Gold is more than its trading price! In recent times, gold has come to be associated as an investment avenue in the commodity market, loosing a part of its real shine as a precious canvas for artistic creations, and a lifestyle statement.  The man of the hour, designer Tarun Tahiliani delved deep into the craftsmanship associated with the precious metal, and said, "Like fabrics and embroidery, Gold has different techniques of work," which seemed to be highlighting theme of the show.

    The scenario at the event With most of the country experiencing the onslaught of summers, there needed to be something bringing in a smirk and 'feel-good' factor in the torrid weather. Then suddenly, the Le Social event at the DLF Emporio takes place on the 20th of March, 2015, and it all becomes lovely! Yes, the brands were there, the pretty ladies were there (it was a total fantasy land in that regard), and it was a celebration that needed the mention for those with a taste of the affluent.

                                            Near the brand stalls at the NDMC Palate Mini Fest 2015 There are many ways to celebrate life, and one of them is certainly exploring gastronomy, or more simply food. Like human beings, their food differ in so many ways and the possibilities of having something new, is virtually endless. That is what was proven at the NDMC Palete Mini Festival 2015, held at Nehru Park in New Delhi. Food from the beyond all boundaries in the galaxy (well, almost!), good looking well connected people (read pretty women), some industry connected people, and wandering lucky bloggers (ahem ahem) made the event colorful in every way possible. It was where life was good, positive, and tasty as one gets them.

Like wall hangings, lights, cutlery and crockery, and even furniture play a very crucial role in the decor and beauty of a place, table mats (place mats) can be equally important to ensure that the style quotient gets a boost, for the dining. In light of that here are a few table mats which one can choose from depending upon the theme of the entire dining space:

Each time we come across what can be done through the DIY methods, we are pleasantly surprised and even encouraged at the possibilities to cater to our everyday needs. Cheaper and mostly less harmful, natural remedies is certainly the alternate lifestyle we all ought to look at more seriously. This of course, would include making one's own deo right at home itself. Here are some DIY deo making ideas:

With the world becoming a space for electronic communication, whereby devices transmit everything possible within micro-seconds across the world, the art of collecting and using writing instruments seems to be a quickly fading chapter of the past. With limited time, and the need for multi-tasking and less cumbersome hardware to carry around, the fine writing instruments are indeed becoming ancient that a virtually clicking speed. But, for those who still believed in collecting the finest of the writing instruments, the  Bonhams Wilmore Montblanc Collection Auction, had plenty to show the most ardent and discerning of collectors. Here are a few glimpses into the ones on display there.

Description When one's royale dreams are awakened along life's testing and trying times, mansions and estates are often one of the main manifestations of the same, and the similar has been the case for me. Hence, amongst the many high-end estates on sale till date, this particular one in Cannes, manged to trigger my magic world dreams. With an undisclosed yet presumably hefty price tag, this place is all about having the advantages of both world's: a penthouse utility and private mansion exclusivity, including it's premium exterior settings.

Sen's bucket as originally targeted, will be picking up random stories from subjects from virtually anywhere, with the intent of tickling the readers and author's mind. Without the use of creating a trend, this blog aims to be a easy-read name for those who have a more random approach to things online. Quality control will be taken care of as far as possible, but readers are expected to cross check sources and judge the quality of content on this blog. The story behind this is all about what I (the author) want to write with regards to. From the insanely expensive and attractive and not-so attractive, to the most mundane and ignored (otherwise) and taken for granted , and the sensitive and not-so sensitive issues;  whatever strikes me and can be feasibly put up as a blog entry, just might find a place here. This is one medium where authority and freedom have a different meaning from what is generally thought of them (I basically want to play dictator and ruler!...
