Noooooo MOM! i dont wanna put on sunscreen... * 2 hours later* owww... OWWWWW... it burrrnnnnss!!!!

heyyyyoooo people! I know this is for like 10 year olds and stuff but i'm totally obsessed with a song by.... ( gasps!) MILEY CYRUS! I know. I know... shes a crazy weirdo who should be in a phsychiatric ward and her songs aren't that great either but this one song from the movie' the last song' is really deep and sad and makes me wanna cry whenever I listen to it. It's called 'When I look at you'. so if you have faith in my taste of music, go check it out.

Anyway, an update on baby Aaliya's baptism.. She didnt cry at first when they put her into the water but blinked a few times and opened her eyes wide. Upon realising that she was surrounded by strange and somewhat unappealing priest's she immediatly started bawling her eyes out. Truth be told my cousins and I are pretty sure the head priest pinched her a bit to make her cry , but upon reciting this theory within ten yards of a grown-up we were quickly shushed and told not to speak such nonesense. Well those are adults for you, right?

I ended up not wearing the Ann Taylor/ Audrey Hepburn dress as it was way to lose for me. If  I had worn it, no doubt I wouldve ended up looking like a sack. Of potatoes.

Spent a week with my cousins from Madras and had a gorgeous time. We argued acrimoniously about who should go bankrupt in Monopoly, watched episodes of Dexter and HIMYM repeatedly and played PS3 to our hearts content!( i ended up losing every game, mind you.)

Well I have thouroughly described the last 15 days to a T and now, unfortunately, it's time to hit the books. :(

Random rantings..

Was dancing wildly around my room with absolutely no music when I banged my hand into a chair. Ouch!( who put that there?)
Anyway, next saturday is my cousin sister Aaliyah's baptism and i have unofficially decided to wear my mom's cream silk Audrey Hepburn dress with her new peach satin clutch.( For the 98% people who aren't christian, a baptism is when you try and cure the baby of all things evil!) or so I think. Still pondering on the shoes and stuff but right now this is more important. The dress is old and a little rough around the edges, but it's still a solid vintage. And.... voila! here it is!
and now without much further ado.. the clutch..!!!


The clutch is from Aldo accesories and has this cute little side thingie made out of lace and gauze. the main body is a wraith of satin.it's all highly girly and 'snow princess' like( wait. was it ice princess or snow princess? Snow sounds better so i'm gonna stick to that) :D

just to let you know. I have a new role model, other than Tavi Givinson that is. Unsurprisingly, she's Indian too and she has this awesome blog called Fab Blab. She focuses mainly on fashion( ok.. totally on fashion) and her style of writing is quirky, funny, and totally bad ass!! People should totally check her out! Her name is Arushi Khosla.
well i think ive bored you for long enough sooo buh byee!
Aditi!
P.S- my fans( ok fine! my mom) has told me to improve my punctuation so from now on I do have to give a shit about capital letters and spelling mistakes.:(

lick lollies!

Orange is the colour for the summer people! it is certainly befitting  the season and has genarally caused a stir among fashionista's( god.. i love that word!! It hit the runway with Oscar De La Renta's 'ruffled organza blouses'( quoted from vogue ) I love that colour,( i mean who doesn't?) its bright, quirky and orangy... it reminds me of lick lollies that are sold at school for 5 bucks each and are absolute heaven during these gristly, hot summer days. but somehow it was expected... the lime green, lemon yellow and lick lolly orange( giggle!) The thing is these colours can only be worn with either black or white( no neutral shades please!) or other clashy colours!the only negative thing is if you want to wear it with black in this heat its gonna kill you! other than that minor glitch this funky colour is absolutely perfect for summer!!

CASTLEEE!!!! why are you soo awesommee? EMILLYY!! why are you so pregnant???

these are two of my top t.v shows of all time. i mean, how can they not be? surprisingly they are completly different from each other! the first is castle, which as you all may know is that show about this author who writes thrillers, rick castle, and how he starts helping at crime scenes to write his next book and cause he's got a might big crush on a certain detective, kate beckett?? hmmmmm? though you can tell there is a mutual atraction , they never really get it together. Bad timing in their relationships? Nope i just think the producers wanted some suspense...
welll the 3rd season is FINALLY coming out..(i bet for all you lucky american people it came out months ago) but here in poor' ol india EVERYTHING takes time. the much awaited season is coming out on 30th may and i'm just dying to see it! im just hoping that it'll live up to my high expectations!

the second t.v show i'm in lurvveee widd <3 <3 is' make it or break it' the gymnastic shingbang about 4 teenage girls trying to make it to the olympics. now as usual, my favourite charecter,Emily has been knocked up! well i cant blame the producers this time as the actress, Chelsea Hobbs, who is 26 btw got herself preggoo... i can just tell this is gonna end up like 'Juno'. obviously being  a self proclaimed human rights activist and all i dont want her to have an abortion( i'm talking about Emily, not Chelsea Hobbs) i just hope she can have the baby and then magicallly get her act together and win something or the other during the olympics!

p.s im not doing the whole capital letter thing as it's a waste of time!

The Chinese Invented gunpowder... but south indians made it famous!

Gunpowder.... It's a word associated with war's , fighting and basically anything gruesome!Fortunately if that word is mentioned anywhere in the midst of Delhi it makes your stomach rumble. It is indeed a fabulous restraunt situated at 22 Hauz Khas village, Delhi.The food is south indian and having just moved here from Kerala where dosa's and idli's rule the food chain, I was having a bout of homesickness and was therefore dying for some chemmeen varathu( prawn fry). So after much weedling and whining on my part we set of for Gunpowder on a burningly hot sunday afternoon. Upon reaching our destination we spent a good 20 minutes searching for the restraunt itself. Finally, we came upon a grimy staircase leading up ... and up... and up...
By the time we arrived at the narrow corridor  leading to the restraunt we had worked up quite an appetite. Lucky for us the climb stood us in good stead as we were ravenous.After much argument, we eventually decided on a sweet and sour prawn curry, panni varuthu( stir fried pork), chicken curry, methi daal, mango chutney and malabar paranthas. The food came surprisingly fast and so without much ado we dug into it. The chicken was quite nice, with the perfect balance of spices and gravy, the prawn( which i was most looking forward to) was , to some extent a bit of a dissapointment as the lime, spices and sugar did not go well together but it was still fairly edible. The dish of the day would have had to be the pork, which was fried to a crisp and tasted like home.the daal didnt look appetizing at all but turned out to be surprisingly delicious as for the mango chutney? one word. Fantabulous!( that is a word , okay?) .To put an end to a perfect meal we ordered 'semiya payasam' which is a sweetdish consisting of milk, sugar, vermicelli and cashews. On a hot day like that it would have been wonderful to eat it cold but I , being my idiotic self, went and stuffed it in the microwave.It still turned out fantastic though. I must say that for those who are in Delhi you must try this restraunt out.. it will knock your socks off ( though in this heat, who wears socks anyway?)

Its All That!

Hi, i'm Aditi Chandna, i'm 14 years old and I live in Delhi ( for those who suck at geography, thats the capital of India). Truth be told my inspiration for this blog is a certain 15 year old girl called Tavi. I've read her blogs and think she is da bomb! The blog itself is gonna be about everything and anything.. but because of the fact that I'm a 14 year old girl it's probably just gonna revolve around the latest t.v shows, the hottest gossip , fashion trends and last but most definately not the least FOOD!! This is something I love, and I'm going to be telling you all about it! well I hope you guys enjoy my blog!
cheers, Aditi.
