Sams little world

I live in Bangalore and we visited IKEA NAGASANDRA. We reached there via metro which was the fastest. We took the metro from JP Nagar (3kms from our place) and reached within 40 mins. We went there because few of his friends suggested the food there is amazing and we wanted to try that out. We went on the wrong day. SUNDAY. It was soo damn crowded. People were practically hugging each other to find place on the metro😂.   IKEA had 2 floors. Ground and first. It was our first time so we dint know much and went to first floor. They gave us a small notebook and a pencil and asked us to make a list of what we like. That is when we realised in first floor they set up spaces for inspiration will all IKEA products and we have to make a note of the product name or id. In the ground floor(Looked kinda like a warehouse) we can go and pick the same item up and bill it. I must be honest here. The spaces were so beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I dont want to spoil the surprise of other sp...

  I have been thinking about this ever since this happened to me. I have talked about quality and reputed brands in my previous blogs but I came across a situation where I was attracted towards luxury brands especially handbags. Initially I thought that was a waste of money and who will pay that hefty amount for a piece of handbag. But when my brother in law asked what I wanted from US as he was buying stuff for us I quickly started searching for luxury handbags because the ones that cost 10k here are only 3k in US. I was searching for a while and my husband asked me a question. “Why do you need one more bag when you have other bags? Are you going to use it? You're working from home and where will you carry the expensive bag? The other bags you bought are still lying in the closet. Besides this is all that money worth it?”  This had me thinking. I have already been trying to reduce my closet and bag collection and posted few items on poshmark. Besides this even if I buy the ba...

An excellent ...https://youtube.com/shorts/epCawLbq4P4?feature=share   I’ll narrate the story of making of this reel as follows. Yesterday me and my husband went out to have lunch and on our way back found this beautiful Christmas themed cafe. We quickly stopped our vehicle to check it out. I sat down to have my ice cream while my husband was shooting videos of the cafe. We reached home and he spent quite a bit of time editing those videos for our Insta/YouTube page which he created yesterday. I asked him not to waste time but he said no matter what you do you need to put in effort while doing it. It hit me at that time. For the longest period of time I wasn’t putting enough effort into certain things and couldn't see the results as well. In the last few months I was obsessed with skin care and spent qu...

I dint realise I needed a partner until I had one. I had an arranged marriage at the age of 23 which I feel was pretty early. I wanted to explore and have fun on my own but 8 months after joining my first job covid lockdown happened and everything changed because of work from home. My cousin who was 25 at that time was getting married and my parents said it took 2 yrs to get the right match for my cousin and will take the same time for me. I dint really care at that time but a month later I got a request from my husbands matrimony profile. I rejected it :P because I dint want to marry anyone as I was doing the same with other requests. But eventually there are these local matchmakers in our community who had my husbands biodata and gave it to my parents and they visited him and liked him a lot. Marriage was an alien concept to me and I was always scared abt it. But when the wedding dates were fixed I talked to him and found out he is also a person who feels the same as I do.  1) He...
