For The Love Of Wedges



Bonjour,

The one thing I have noticed these days is that people today are so ' STARSTRUCK or 'GLAMOURSTRUCK' , I would say . They love flaunting their branded outfit , footwear , accessories and so on. They think this would increase their status in the society and even on their social networking sites among their viral friends.  I am not complaining but the situation kind of becomes tacky when the so called 'branded personalities' ( term used by me ) , enters into an unannounced competition among his/her fellow 'branded' competitors (mostly through their pictures uploaded on their social networking sites ), I am sure many of you reading would agree to this. The saddest part is when  few of your childhood friends adopts this ' FLAUNTING ' habit. When friendship becomes a show off affair , as in flaunting your solitaires and valuables ; then its not friendship anymore. You make friends because of the person they are and not because of their financial status , atleast I don't. So just chill friends, ' we love you and not your assets' , should be the attitude of every individual.


Now coming back to my today's post " For The Love Of Wedges " , wedges are both 'Hot & Cool' this season. You pair it up with thigh hugging jeans and you will be so cool . while you pair it up with a short dress and you will be 'Oh ! so hot'. I bought this particular wedge from Amritsar in my last tour to Amritsar http://shudhrita.blogspot.in/2014/03/amritsar-foodies-paradise.html. I purchased it from a local market near our hotel 'narula's auurum' on mall road.There is a whole stretch of local market on mall road which a shopaholic cannot afford to miss. This marker is a must visit for all the shoppers out there whenever you happen to visit Amritsar.This pair cost me INR. 800




Another pair of shoes that I bought from the same market area on mall road is this red pair of boots with a lining of fur on top of it. This too cost me INR.800 , unbelievable right ! This footwear outlet was also a Metro Shoes outlet. The above wedges were also from the same shop. Here take a look.














Now moving from mall road , I took my footwear shopping endeavour to the main market in Amritsar near The Golden Temple, and started scrutinising the 'juttis' there , as Amritsar is the capital of 'Juttis' in India , a detailed information on 'jutti' ; is given in my earlier post http://shudhrita.blogspot.in/2014/01/fashion-street.html. Hera is a collection of my Juttis in my last viist to The Amazing Amritsar.
Amritsari jutti at its best. It cost me INR. 300
A closer look at the beautiful thread work at the back of the jutti.

This is a Kashmiri styled jutti and look at the beauty of the thread work.
this is unlike all other juttis as it is a ballerina jutti and it cost me INR. 300

and as you can see the front side is beautifully woven with white cotton threads.




After I have purchased all different types of juttis , how could I have not purchased the traditional flashy Amritsari jutti. This too cost me 300 bucks.
Its a multicoloured jutti with golden beads lining.

P.S. : do not forget to bargain.

Manali Trance : A Gateway to Heaven

Image
It was time for our annual trip and we decided to visit such a place that remains covered with snow during winters. Since in India not all cities are privileged to witness snow or snowfall ; its kind of a bliss if you get to witness such luxuries. Now, since blessings and luxuries are not that easy to avail , we will have to work a little hard for that (especially in India). So we decided to visit manali ( India ), a beautiful small town that remains snow capped anytime during the year and especially during winters. Then lets start our journey. We started from shealdah railway station ( kolkata ) , our rajdhani express was scheduled for 4:50 pm. All the way train was running just on time but due to fog it started running late a few kilometers from Kanpur (Uttar Pradesh ). We reached Delhi ( our destination ) at around 3 :30 pm whereas we were supposed to reach at 10 :30 am ( the scheduled time ). However , it did not make much of a difference to our trip as we anyways still had

golondo steamed chicken curry

hello, my fellow readers Its been quite sometime I have not posted any of my simple and yet mouth watering recipes. So , today I am in full mood to share one of my simplest recipe.  Monsoon has arrived in India and during monsoons every woman of the house becomes lethargic. We all love to be served during this period rather than to serve. It's not our fault ladies it's the weather's fault. It was one of those days when you and your husband pushes the other to go to the kitchen and prepare atleast something eatable for lunch. Finally, I took the initiative to approach the dreading kitchen and our semi loaded fridge where I luckily found chicken in the freezer and mind you chicken is the easiest thing to cook out of all other dishes in the world (according to me). So how about preparing a lazy dish on a Sunday afternoon where you will only have to marinate the stuff and it will be ready. MAGIC! Let me remind you this is the same chicken dish I learnt from my friend's
