Preparing for winter with Tbdress

While Mumbai is battling a heat wave (which will continue the whole of October), many countries are lucky enough to be experiencing the beginning of fall. From visiting blogs around the world, I am envying the lovely fall fashion that is being showcased.

Well, here in Mumbai, I can only look forward to a cool winter sometime in December. But people in Delhi (north of India) will soon be bringing out their sweaters as the weather starts turning cool and they face the winter blasts from November (any Delhiites, please correct me if I am wrong! :-))

Inspired by the fall wardrobe of my fellow bloggers, I browsed the lovely cheap sweaters of Tbdress which are perfect for fall and winter and am sharing some of my favorites. Tbdress has sweaters for women, cardigan sweaters for women and best of all, these are cheap sweaters for women.

The range is cute, colourful and really stylish. So check out the link below to go through their truly lovely collection.

The King is here!

I mean, the king of fruits, of course ........ THE MANGO!

Yum, yum, yum! After 8 months of waiting, the king has finally arrived - and thankfully the prices this year are down due to lower exports and so we can enjoy mangoes earlier.

Joys of riding a bus

I decided to write on this after I got back to riding the bus from Oct 2012 onwards. And what brought this about? Well .. the rickshaw fare hikes of course!!!!

                                         Source: gateway2india.com .. Thats not me in the rickshaw :)
Over the past 6 years, I have always taken a rickshaw to reach work in Mumbai. This is despite the attitude of the rickshaw guys (won't even have the courtesy to say no .. will just drive off after hearing where you want to go .. grrr), faulty meters, the traffic jams, the pollution .. since it was always more convenient to hop into a rick and drive off. It had become so convenient that I rode the bus like only 3-4 times in 6 years!!! .. and that too cause my mom would have forced me to.

Over the past 1 year, we have seen about 3 fare hikes for rickshaws. I can understand that the rickshaw guys also need to meet their expenses and hence a hike was required. But the last hike in Oct 2012 was the last straw. Despite charging exhorbitantly, the attitude still remains crappy and many rickshaws still have mechanical meters which run at the speed of light. Even the elctronic meters have been tampered with. So the amount I pay for the rickshaw has increased exponentially. Unfortunately, my salary has not followed the same route :(
