Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2014 and Update

I haven't blogged in a long while. Don't really like the feeling, but I was bogged down at work with, gasp, work. Loads of it. I still have loads more, actually. So, I decided that more work and general fatigue can't be an excuse not to blog. I must add, though, the tiredness and sore eyes haven't stopped me from going out with friends and creating more "Weekly Projects".

I attended Kala Ghoda Arts Festival for the first time this year. It takes place in South Mumbai - the cleaner, classier side of town. This year it was from February 1 to 9. It features various programs, concerts, screenings, and workshops. I didn't get a chance to attend a proper event, but strolled around and looked at different sculptures and stalls.





Photos were taken. (Yes, cringe-worthy posing.) But I was glad to find a reason to deck out in my elephant gear. The elephant print pajama-type pants are from Rishikesh. My mom picked them up when she visited last year. I also wore the cutest oxidized gold elephant earrings. I do love elephants and it was with much self-constraint that I didn't pick up an elephant handicraft at the many stalls that displayed them.






Food was eaten. We went to a cute little cafe at the Jehangir Gallery. They had ethnic umbrellas and now I want one.




That's good enough innit?
