And I will OWLways love you...


I don't know when my obsession with owls began. I guess it started with Harry Potter and from that point on I began collecting an assortment of all things owl. 


It began with Key-chains because I collect those too. I basically get excited about the smallest things which has resulted in me collecting all sorts of things. From tooth- picks to match boxes, marbles even. I guess I am a hoarder. Though I like to call my self a connoisseur of "simple fine pleasures". No matter how bad the weather around me, they guarantee a smile or at-least the comfort of having something that I can carry with me because I am too old now to be carrying my doll with me for company!


This is the bling- max thing I own. Truly. I am not a shine and startle person.



This owl has seen the best and worst in me. The key-chain that has the keys to my vehicle, office and my cabinet.


Yellow eyed owl key chain, because I love Yellow!











The OWL Vase has a nice spot on the top most corner shelf in my room. Nice view point for someone stationed so high. Every time I look at it I invariably start singing Every breath you take by the Police!  







Owl Ear Accessories :)


Sri-Lankan moolah has owlies printed on their Rs.20/- notes.



Inspired by Sherlock I always wanted to own a pocket watch and a Pipe.



I know it is goofy. But come on, it has major cute quotient.



Owl Flip-flops. Cool or what?


This Chain is a treasure :) The perfect thing to wear with black tops :)



Bagged me an owl purse too.



The tiny thing is good for a gloss, tissues and my card.





My Chumbak Magnet. A gift from the brother and the bhabhi. :)







My love for owls has been fueled by my friends and family everything above are gifts from my brother, sister in law, friends and even my boss. So you see, this obsession has transcended all sense of sane.
Apparently Owls are considered lucky in some cultures and a bad omen in others. To me they are but a bit of comfort to carry around in any form. We all have our little quirks. One of mine are owls. 

Woot! :) Have a hoot.

@Akshitha Thank you :D

@Antarik Nah, I'd rather have them come and reside in a tree at my house and trust me enough to come and take a few treats from me :)

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place
