Tea or Chai --- The delight...:):)

China teapots, sugar bowls and salvers are the beloved of the tea table that blossomed during late 17th century in England. Their popularity was accelerated by Queen Catherine of Braganza who brought the tea drinking habit from the Portuguese court. Tea drinking became an epidemic in polite society and tea shops were opened for ladies in London where women could meet and gossip as their husbands did in the exclusively male coffee houses. Love and scandals are the best sweeteners of tea commented the novelist Hendry Fielding.

India is a tea drinking nation, where tea or "chai" drinking is enjoyed by the rich and the poor. Tea stalls and shops are a common sight in India. They are there everywhere, from Railway stations to Bus stations, Airports & even on a remote high way at the corner of  hairpin bend in a mountainous region would you get tea to pep you up, at any time of the day.

Sipping tea from hand-enameled glasses or from a simple glass tea is undeniably refreshing and has become a global tradition.

Happy to present here a simple tea scape for the week. Hope you like it.













A poor mans delight.

If I had a setting like the one you created I not even would go to bed and just enjoy it all night long ahahahahah.

Diwali With Lights

The word Deepavali stems from the Sanskrit words, Deepa meaning ‘Light’ and Avali meaning ‘Row’. It means a row of lights and illumination is undoubtedly its main attraction. Deepavali, the festival of lights, even to this day, projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.    THE FLICKERING LIGHT OF A FLAME IS TRULY MAGICAL. SCENTED POTPOURRI AND NATURALLY DRIED LEAVES ADD TO THE OCCASION.    GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN INVITING DECOR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ADD TO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT   A WINDOW LEDGE TRANSFORMED WITH THE ONSET OF THE FESTIVE FERVOUR.THIS IS A WINDOW DRESSING FOR DIWALI   CREATE AND TRANSFORM THE SPACE AND LEAVE AN EPHEMERAL IMPRINT THE RUSTIC AND ETHNIC LOOK OF THE LAMPS. LOTUS BUDS ADD TO THE BEAUTY.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch
