\nFAQs
\nWhere did I buy the saree? Uh, don’t remember. In a shop, I think.
\nAbnormally long earrings bought in Gariahat, Kolkata, from a street side seller who was yelling “Dosh taaka, Dosh taaka”. Out of curiosity to find out what on earth was still available on this planet for 10 taaka, I went to have a look. And bought these. No place on earth for cheap, nay, inexpensive buys, like Kolkata!
\nThat silly tee was bought when I ran inside Alfa in Irla, Mumbai, to take shelter from the sudden rain. In some weak moment, I bought this bright, tacky, OTT thingy while waiting for the rain to stop.
\nKindly excuse bad lighting, no makeup-ness, oily uncombed hair, sleepy eyes and whatever is terribly out of sync with the gorgeous pics that one sees on sareepact. Remember the time. 2 AM. And forgive maadi.
\nMeanwhile, feline family appears to have reached an amicable solution about whatever they were squabbling about and has walked away peacefully from my lane, hand-in-hand (I presume). So I’m going back to sleep <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
