MERRY CHRISTMAS n Happy Holidays everybody :)
And I can't start without sharing my love for the superlative snowfall and the sight of white carpet in front of my eyes and it's exquisite bent to turn God's every creation (including humans) into white creatures who has just landed from fairyland.

NEW YORK.. its more breathtaking then it sounds... 



Making their way to the Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Bridge
NYC
The Indian form of transport
Central Park
Its enthralling tall buildings, happening 5th street, baffling avenues, fetching New Yorkers, unavoidable Indians at Times Square, subways reminding me of locals from Mumbai, hot dog and cashmere scarves stalls and the courteous yellow cabs. All this and much more cannot be covered in a day not even in a post but it isn't the last time I visited NYC, so they'l be many more posts on this city.. 

Window Display- I missed the Store's name!!
Captivating Bvlgari store
5th avenue.. so much to see, so much to lust for..
The most seen stalls in NYC, Hot dogs, and coincidentally mostly run by Indians


Second largest building in New York City- Rockefeller Center
Laser show at Rockefeller

The mind-boggling city was wrapped in and around with multiple layered people, redundant number of Chinese couples and kids in strollers. A leisure walk on the Brooklyn bridge proved to be a good start, followed by the anticipated Pizza lunch and then making our way through the throng to the monumental Christmas tree at Rockefeller center was extremely exciting. The NYC excursion ended with capturing the many shots of Times square and loosing our self in its exquisite largeness and striking displays.

The "Ho Ho" day is just around the corner and what i am feeling cannot be explained as 'happy' though 'elated' is somewhere close.. I cant express my love for this day in words.. All I wish is that may this Christmas bestows year full of prosperity and blessing on every human on this earth, and also may God fulfill everybody's dream like he did mine :)

Christmas in US is just not an exemplary feeling in your heart but also a treat to your eyes.. The artistic ideas behind the house decorations made me love this festival more. Check out some of the holiday bedecking below..

This house enjoyed a long queue of cars stopping just to click its flashy Christmas show
A house in Rio Vista
Green garland was the most seen adornment of the Christmas decoration

And... This is how Christmas looks at my place in US this year..










Expecting a white Christmas this year :) :)

buenos deseos !!

When I first wrote a paper on IKEA back in NIFT, I was so fascinated by its categorization, all I wanted was to visit this store once just to interpret it better.
Today, I say believe in your dreams and keep fabricating them bigger, cause they do come true. My IKEA visit was and will be one of my favorite store visit in America as this place can turn even a bland, boring mortal into a jovial house maker. I will let the pictures talk about the store's artistry and specialty now.

One really have to fight with these adorable to get hold of this couch 
Shoe stacking vault
Plush wardrobe
A cool idea for your junior's room

P.S.: Forgot your aisle? forget your product !!
The day came to an end with the dinner at a Malaysian and Thai restaurant, Penang and we had to go through a dreadful Fish platter, and trust me leaving your half eaten meal in America is an irreplaceable experience. Lol..
