Saturday #brunch scenes . Pujo's over and we are slowly but surely falling back into our old, daily routines. Saturdays have mostly been about lazy brunches, Netflix and family time with a good bit of chores to run around with. So, we had some bagels and smoked salmon (sourced from local stores) with mixed greens and cream cheese. Also had a few croissants and cupcakes, not quite a healthy meal, but there was some green tea, people! . We will get back to full-on #healthyeating Monday se, pucca! 🤣 . #fooddiaries #goodfood #brunchideas #salmon #brunchathome #smokedsalmon #bagel #croissant #greentea #foodblogger #foodporn #weekend #foodphotography #eatwellbewell #yummy #omnomnom #goodfood #flatlay #cheese #saturday #foodfood #gharkakhana #homemade #local #localfood #fish

Shubho Bijoyar Shubhechha! . What's any Bong celebration without a plateful of sweets?! And in tune with the #redandwhite theme, I tried making these #coconut #milkcakes for #debiboron yesterday! If the people who tasted it aren't lying, these are oh-so-good! The #joy of a successful experiment and sharing it with friends is unparalleled, truly! . #homemade #madebyme #bengalisweets #quickandeasy #newrecipe #pujadiaries #yummy #bengalifestival #foodblogger #foodbloggerindia #foodbloggeruk #dessert #londonfoodblogger #indiansweets #happiness #foodporn #foodcoma

The last evening of #durgapujo was spent seeing the Goddess off to her heavenly abode..while spending an evening of fun, frolic and food..that's what the festival is all about, isnt it? . While am a staunch feminist and not a believer of festivities that celebrate only married women as whole beings, or exhibit and make a show of a woman's marital status, this year was different, and truly special... and it was made so by my kid sister @the_laundiya ~for that I shall remain ever indebted to her ❤ ..I am wondering if I should pen my thoughts on this, cos it's a 'heartfelt and personal but something I feel the urge to speak about' kinda day for me!! . Shubho Bjoya, everyone.

When your friend clicks your friend, clicking you and yours ...Happy Pujo moments ❤🥰 . Also, I finally got to wear this #bishnupurisilk #balucharisaree that I was dying to wear and what could be better than the penultimate #pujo night? . #pujadiaries #happiness #famjam #nabami #friendswhoarefamily #ootd #potd #whatiwore #saree #dhotikurta #patialasuit #ethnicwear #desi #bengalis #baluchari #redandblack #sareedraping #sareelovers #sareeaddict #handloom #bengalhandloom #duggadugga

Durga Pujo is all about bringing everyone together.. what we celebrate the most is that sense of community, family, friendship and love. As we approach the evening of #bijoya this pic reminds me of all of these things ❤ . #saree #sareelovers #sareedraping #whiteandred #bengalifestival #desi #ootd #potd #sareediaries #woman #desifashion #bengalis #pujadiaries

#ashtami was all about #red , #white and #gold with bits and pieces of us showing through - mark the #spiderman shoes and the totally unnecessary jacket --> . #ootd #potd #whatiwore #saree #spideyshoes #kasavu #southindiansaree #bengalifestival #dhotikurta #colourcoordinated #redandwhite #lalshada #desi #desifashion #bengalis #famjam #sareediaries #sareeaddict #sareelovers #sareenotsorry

Saptami night saga . Wearing your mum's saree is always special. And whoever said you have enough black in your wardrobe, needs to rethink their decision-making abilities. 😜 Just kidding! Love this #benarasi #katan saree. I don't know how old it is, it just looks and feels fab. Classic beauty, this #saree is! . Thanks @thesarkaribaap , you do click good pics at times.😘 . #ootd #potd #whatiwore #sareediaries #silk #sareenotsorry #black #sequin #goodhairday #sareeaddict #pujadiaries #pujo #lookbook #bengalifestival #minimalistfashion #joy #sareedraping #desi #handloom #slowfashion #oldisgold #happiness #happyface #allsmiles

Mandatory Saptami Car Selfie: check . True story: as a child, I hated makeup. I still hate overtly exaggerating my features and keep everything minimal ( you can of course choose to wear your make up the way you want, I won't judge you, promise). But a sudden tiny accident and chemical burn later, I sat wondering. And then I picked that concealer and compact and ran wild with it. And I smiled at the results. Was I being shallow? DEFINITELY, MAYBE. . But it's #pujo folks and what blue-blooded Bong doesn't want to glow on these five days?!

#shoshti scenes are like these! . #durgapujo for Bengalis officially begins today. And this is the tradition we have had for as long as I can remember - the Goddess is welcomed with fruits and sweets, and then the lunch spread includes: luchi, begun bhaja, aloo dum and mishti. While we aren't religious and shoshti pujo is meant for the well-being of children, we have always had this lunch even before Z came into our lives! It just makes us feel a little closer home, and maybe it gives the family some joy that we are equally immersed in the joys of the season.. and the little one seems to enjoy all of it the most. Could it get any better? ❤ Sharodiya Shubhechha, everyone. . #durgapuja #homecookedmeal #gharkakhana #foodies #festivalsofindia #bengalifestival #bengalifood #vegetarian #vegan #delish #veganindianfood #indianfoodbloggers #foodblogersuk #londonfoodblogger #fooddiaries #bengalifestival #traditional #decor #indiandecor #acrylicpainting #madebyme #decorideas #happiness #foodflatlay #foodporn #bongfoodie

Narkol Nadu or Nariyal Laddoos - call it what you may, but to me, this just is synonymous with Pujo. . Sharodiya Shubhechha, everyone . It's #durgapanchami and the Bengali in me is super restless now! And I can't stop myself from thinking about food, more food and lot of delicious food. I made these #coconut laddoos a while back, and I am planning to make these again as an offering to #durga . Back when I was a child, the whole process of making them was quite tedious, time consuming and kinda brought the whole family together...and this made it all the more special. With time, and technology easing things out, and because they need only 3/4 ingredients, these get made fairly quickly and each bite takes me a little closer to home, this pujo season ❤ . #homemade #laddoo #indiansweets #yumyum #bengalisweets #vegan #vegandessert #foodblogger #foodbloggerindia #foodbloggeruk #londonfoodblogger #durgapujo #festivalsofindia #potd #picoftheday #joy #omnomnom #instafood #foodies #quickandeasy #classics #bongfoodie #kolkatafoodie #londongram #foodstagram #fooddiaries

It's October! Shout out to everyone who's born in this month 🥳🥳🥳 . Everything about this month - the leaves changing colour and falling silently, forming a tapestry of warm, earthy tones; the sweet, dewy smell of the grass; the slight nip in the air - makes #autumn or #fall my favourite time of the year! Plus, it's #pujo and #diwali and #halloween and all that's happening in between...so a whole month of #happiness ..what's not to love, people?! . PS: gotta clean them nails 😑 . . #october #oktoberfest #happiness #fun #selflove #colours #fallcolours #feelgood #makeeverydaybeautiful #love #joy #tuesday #randomramblings #musings #tuesdaymotivation

This is how we #weekend - Z baked a #triplechocolate #brownie and you can too! (Link in bio) . As parents, we are doing our best to teach Z the #joy -of making and giving and it is endearing to see her take the initiative. Her school had a #bakesale for the #worldsbiggestcoffeemorning in aid of #mcmillancancersupport this past Friday, and so we made some #yumyum #brownies and had super fun decorating it for #autumn . So much #goodness wrapped into one afternoon. Sending #goodvibes to all of you from Z and mum. ❤
