The week has been a hectic one, you have been swamped with work, with long hours at the grind, counting down to the one day that is my favourite (as it must be yours) -Friday ! :-)
There are some weeks when you want to go check out a new restaurant and you have made dinner reservations at the start of the week for Friday evening. Or perhaps for you, Fridays are about catching the new movie that is playing at the cinemas or a new play at the theatre. Those who believe in 'head-banging their stress away' would make a beeline for the nearest pub and party the night away. While there are others such as yours truly, who would look forward to a Friday evening at home, that has the promise of being cozy, where I am surrounded by people and things I love :-)
Nothing like letting the lamp light romance your favourite knick knacks on the table, telling you stories,some of silhouettes and some of revelations ! In the glow of your favourite table lamp, the roses adorn a deeper colour, the plants look a luminous green. The stage is set for Friday night !
It is the warmth of the cushion against your elbow, the relaxing feeling of your heels sinking into the rug beneath your feet, the twinkling lights of the city, creating patterns against the glass windows of your balcony and the best of Kishore playing on the iPod that makes the evening magical for me. A simple, cozy Friday night where I belong, in my home.
And it is now time to pull out one of those recipes that you have bookmarked and researched many days ago, to put together a simple, home cooked, yet special meal. Accompany that with a good bottle of wine, let some favourite songs play softly on the sound dock and you have an evening to look forward to ! :-)
So here's a toast to a wonderful weekend to all of you, I hope you spend it the way you love to, with your family and friends, and it turns out to be just as amazing as you hoped it to be ! Would love to hear about it :-) See you on the other side !

Another fantastic post karishma! your words just take me into another world:)
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures that you post - can you share some shots of your living room from a distance please? we have just moved to Singapore and I am desperately trying to renovate my new husband's apartment and it would be great to get some inspiration from seeing all your beautiful bric-a-brac in context of the surroundings. Thank you!
Hello Gayatri. Thanks for writing in again. I really look forward to your comments :-) I would love to share some pictures of our living room as soon as it takes a little more shape. It is a new home for us too just like you, and am still in the process of putting it together. Singapore must be having some nice interior stores am sure, Korea though is very challenging for furniture, rugs etc. Either it is all beastly expensive or not available at all. But do stay tuned for the photos, hope to have them up and about soon. Hope you have a great weekend.Hugs.
DeleteLovely and well written ! It gives you a 'Ho jaaye' sort of feeling . I have house guests this weekend so it's perhaps not as idyllic as I would have wanted it to be but yes I'm sure it's going to be a great one. Enjoy, girl ! :D
