THE MINDROLLING MONASTERY | via instagram!

It's the roads that charm you at first. Narrow winding pathways running across small houses. The air that smells cleaner and tastes sweeter. As you near this destination, the bells signal you in, always alluring and always mystical. 


Dehradun has been my second hometown for as long as I can remember and between me shifting to Mumbai and moving on with life, I realised I hadn't visited for over 2 years now. This time when we went, we visited the Mindrolling Monastery located in quaint little Clement Town. Flanked by lush gardens, the air of peacefulness, and a small souvenir arcade – the monastery stands tall enveloped in a multitude of colour. 
 

Prayer flags line each corner and the inside of the monastery itself is colourful and covered with pictorial representations. We had a nice time, strolling about, coveting each and every item in the tiny shopping stores. Until next time....

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 ...
