The Tuck Shop.....

Imagine in a far off countryside(ok now now tht was too wide a stretch of imagination) tucked into a hole in the wall is this warm, bright, lively place..... A place where as soon as you step in you are more often than not offered tea\coffe\water.... Where the walls are painted with cheery lines, flowers, slokas.....A place where you will see a group of ladies guffawing over much cheer n banter on clothes....  Where you are encouraged to try on different clothes n are gently guided to discard the fashion disasters(Me me me!) .....A place where you can exchange you can walk in with ur dabba(filled with rice n fish curry?) n walk out with a 'fav dress' that you been eyeing for sometime..... 

So go ahead guess what am I talking of? Did I hear you saying possibly a frnds place? Hmmm now what do i say? Tht you are right n wrong at the same time?

Ha cause am talking of  'The Tuck Shop'(Yea thats the name) tucked into a bylane near Varathur Lake! N nea nea theres no element of exaggeration involved in my above description! Sadly I don hv any pics to show off(except for the one from thier site)... Butt hop onto their site to hv a glimpse of the place(Thou gota say the site doesnt doesnt do any justice to the place!). Are u still wondering abt the 'dabba' part.... Ha thts the bartering system(yes yes the same one we read in our history books!), go on visit the site to know more....

I will leave u with a line that greets you as soon as you step in...."Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart"

Corner Of ma home!

ea! Yea! Me kinda jobless n hv nothing much to write of... so put up with me as I show u another corner of ma home....

The wall just beside the fav corner of ma hubbs in entire house - any guesses?? Yea Yea what else but his bar-unit :)

N as with other corners its the knick-knacks collected, the memories that they bring which makes them spl...... The bottom most cask is from what I know the traditional Fenny holder bought on our visit to Goa! The knives above been picked - one from sikkim, one from darjeeling on our Honeymoon(Our home has this big collection of knives thnx to hubbs dearest - Will do a knives spl post soon :)) N the pic at the top.... A gift on our house warming.... But doesnt it kinda go so well beside a bar unit !! Hope u enjoyed this corner :)

Ha on another comp diff note - u in B'lore then drop in @ Dastakaar - A exhibition happening in Palace grounds, a notch diff from the usual arts-crafts exhib tht usually populate the city! I picked a pretty skirt, a tie-n-dye kinda kurti n then there are these interesting puppet shows n not to forget some yum-yum chats n kulfis :)
