A CUPPA JO!


 Hello!

This weekend I headed over to Bratislava.
First, you might ask...
 
Ít is a giant city about 5 hours away from Prague by road. It is the capital of Slovakia. Czech Republic and Slovakia together formed Czechoslovakia before 1993 after which they ended up becoming independent states.
Ofcourse, many people know Bratislava from the movie 'Euro trip' and some crazy ones know it from 'Hostel'. Both those ideas of the city aren't further from the truth.

I headed there with this amazing girl from Brazil who ended up being an excellent travel companion!


The first thing that strikes you in Bratislava is the architecture and the art forms. Be it monuments or Graffitti, this place has it all!

Meet Cumil, the man at work located in the Old Town. It is believed that touching his head can make your wish come true. Its quite fun to look for him and several other quirky structures around the city. Its like a treasure hunt to find them all.

 
While walking we came across a cemetery and to our surprise it was also a park where you can jog, sit or run. The cemetery was peaceful but eerie. It was really strange to walk around knowing that there are dead bodies buried here.
After walking for almost an hour and visiting the river Danube, we came across the Blue church. It was truly magnificent under the blue sky! 
 
 

After visiting the old town, the river, the castle, we headed back to our Hostel which was also awesome! I met and chatted with an Indian guy who also ended up treating me to cheap alcohol and good vegetarian food.

I slept with a full stomach and happy memories.

MAKE IT | SPRAY PAINTED JAR CANDLES (part 02)

In a previous post , we made beautiful spray painted heart jars. Here is part two of the tutorial where I turn those same jars into decadent smelling candles. You need: Candle wax of your choice Candle wick Mason Jar (Follow the tutorial here ) Fragrance Oil  Before you begin, be sure you have the appropriate type and size of the wick. If your jar is wide, make sure wick is wide enough in diameter to burn optimally. And, if its narrow and long, make sure the length of the wick is sufficient enough.  Measure out the amount of wax needed. For this project, I melted the wax in a make-shift double boiler made from two metal containers—one small and one large. Fill water in the large container. Put the wax in the smaller container and place it in the larger one. Melt the wax on low to medium-low heat. Never leave melting wax unattended! While the wax is melting, secure your wick to the bottom of your mason jar. Dip the end in the melting wax and a...

THE MIXTAPE PROJECT / 01

I've been working on this series idea for a while now and finally it's here! The Mixtape Project, a series to document interesting people, their music choices and their personal quirk. Here is my first guest for today... MAYANK KUMAR / DELHI If you could pick one, which superhero would you be?  I don't really follow the superhero concept but if I had to, I guess i'd pick Batman. That's simply because of his sharp mind and his ability to solve humongous issues with just his mere intellect. What would your DJ name be?  Can't imagine myself behind a console wearing earphones bigger than my face. But I guess 'Max' would do? Or just M? What's your favourite joke?  A jealous haryanavi man opened his own momos shop right next to the famous 'Yo! China' and named it 'Yo! Bhi China'. What's the weirdest nickname people call you? Mickey. My first birthday cake had a Mickey Mouse on it. And that's where the name ...
