Of Banana Chips and Coconut trees | Kerala 2014


The sound of auto's, the smell of green trees, familial laughter bursting in from all rooms, and the overeating of delicious food…This was a great trip to just sit back, unwind and catch up with family. 

We stayed in a small village called Udinur. Imagine a house sprawling over acres filled with dozens of coconut trees, hyper dogs and cute little geese, and a beautiful veranda that housed many a late night family meetings. Early mornings were welcomed through homemade dosas and the days were spent travelling on noisy autos jumping up and down on bumpy roads.


We spent a crazy amount of time in the water, enamoured by the clean white beaches while soaking in the sun. We walked like nomads on the market roads, oohing and ahhing over trinkets and bananas! And we ate a lot of banana chips. And i do mean a lot! That's the secret of all that extra weight…

This time i tried summing up my experience in a video rather than pictures. It's always fun to try something new and i loved it to bits.



Do let me know how you guys liked the video! 

Till next time!

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.

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 ...
