For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

Gate crashed into a colleague's place. We chatted and chatted and chatted. In real. Everyone should do that once in while....:D
I had this doll when I was 8 years old. Nothing special as such but I loved it to bits. It had disintegrated except for the face. Maa renewed it in totality and stitched a new dress for her too, from the scraps she accumulates. I have fallen in love with my doll again.
Her bonnet and skirt are block printed and top is bandhani.
I wore this kalamkari kurti with a Gujarati embroidery patch with a block print Umbrella skirt. The top was stitched by maa.

Chatting with an old friend is the best. I'm glad your mom was able to save your doll!
When I was very little, we restored things and made them last. Now, it's out with the trash at the first crack or tear. Wish we did more to save old special things here. Enjoy.

Your mother is an accomplished seamstress! I enjoy the photos you post of your clothing. So colorful and lovely.
Times with old friends are the best.
