On his way home, the mister bought some mushrooms, deposited them on the kitchen counter and announced that (a) he would like them cooked without onions, and (b) in curry form. Gasp! That is enough to put most Indian wives in panic mode. What does he really want? I could always use grated onions or…
Photography Styling Challenge #11 – Living Room
Ha! Just when the themes were getting sort of abstract, M throws a curve-ball! It’s back to the basics, by inspiring us to polish our ‘styling’ skills for this one. The challenge has that very word in it, lest we forget. If the title didn’t clue you in already, this month’s challenge is ‘Living Room‘….
Photography Styling Challenge #10 – Light
After managing to scrape through somehow the last couple of months, I am so ready for this month’s Photography Styling Challenge. But I will also be keeping it simple. This month’s theme is Light – that which dispels darkness and sustains us. For this month’s entry, I will leave you with this thought – “Only through…
A Few Of My Favorite Things #4 – Twilight
Let me start by asking how this winter is treating you. If you are lucky enough to live in the tropics, you may not know what I am talking about. Even sunny Texas has not been spared this winter. Though our experiences were nothing compared to other states, I am sure. I am not a…
Photography Styling Challenge #6 – Order (Organization)
Welcome to yet another edition of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. I cannot believe we are halfway through the challenge already. It seems like yesterday that I chanced upon this challenge on M’s blog and decided to play along. I cannot tell you how much fun it has been and how much I have learned…
Photography Styling Challenge #5 – Bedroom
By now you guys know what the Photography Styling Challenge is, right?! If not, please go here, take a look and come back. I shall wait. So, ever since last month’s challenge post was published and done with, I’ve had an uneasy feeling about the next theme – Bedroom. The most important room in the…
Photography Styling Challenge #4 – Morning
Ah, the first Monday of October. Time for yet another Photography Styling Challenge post. Usually I crib about the days flying by, and a little Boy growing up too fast for my liking. But when the last week of a month rolls by, I find myself looking forward to our monthly challenge posts! This month’s…
Photography Styling Challenge #3 – A Wall Vignette
Welcome to part three of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. The first month we photographed food, then we styled a table setting. This month’s theme is wall vignette. For this challenge, I wanted to create something fun, preferably textured, and that got me thinking about a Basket Wall Display. I initially toyed with the idea of creating a…
A Pretty Table Setting & Photography Styling Challenge #2
Its time for the second installment of the monthly Photography Styling Challenge. The first month we photographed food and the challenge for this month is to style and photograph a pretty table setting. It is easier said than done, because our dining room is small, has no windows and I need to photograph it when the…
Photography Styling Challenge #1 – Food
Two of my favorite blogs, Redesigned By M and Red Lovin Pixie, have issued a monthly Photography Styling Challenge starting in July. The first month’s theme is Food. The objective is to get to know our cameras, whether a point or shoot or DSLR and other equipment, better. And also to develop a keen eye…
Signs Of Spring In My Garden

Baby leaves!! And some snippets from our small patio garden. Sweet potato plant in the evening sunlight. Pretty orange blooms. More…
