SYNOPTIC P.E.R.E.G.R.I.N.A.T.E. #swankyranatraveldiaries

HELLO READERS !!

So much to share, so much to inform but again am short with words. Its about my P.E.R.E.G.R.I.N.A.T.E. visit to these awesome place of Nepal, which I got to visit as my University Camp. Well, was out of town for almost 15 days, due to which no regular posts !

Apologies 

Well, I had to go out to valley for my university camp which was a mandatory field work criteria,  for my degree study. So this time I got to visit these lovely places of Sindhuli District - Madi and Bhiman  & Janakpur Dham,  which both come under the premises of Janakpur Zone .  I didn't know that these places uphold so much history esp.  Madi of Sindhuli about which hardly anyone has heard of or about it.

SINDHULI - Madi & Bhiman


Its such a beautiful place, about which I wasn't aware of... ..Though had heard this famous Sindhuli Gadhi song. I would call Sindhuli a semi terai & hilly state of Nepal which is home for many brahmin, chhetri, tamangs and rare indigenous group of people i.e HAYU. Its also home of holy temple named KAMALA MAIII  Mandir which has its own myths stories also a very famous pilgrimage place.

Madi upholds a very significant role in history as it was the place where Bristish soldiers with well equiped  weapons got defeated for the first time in Asia in 1767 A.D.
where as, its also the most developed Metropolitan city of Kamalamai , which has many school and colleges with higher education facilities compared to other districts after Kathmandu & lalitpur.

Bhiman is a place where Rana's of that time have made a palace when the people hardly had a stone house in that place. But, its sad that palace no longer exists' as due to lack of community people concern and unaware about the importance of its significance , the hit of earthquake 2015 has distroyed the palace and only few structures are left .

Its also home of indigenous group of people called HAYU. Though , this place doesnt have much historical monuments but its enrich environment and agriculture surrounding just makes you feel blessed , with its greenery , fresh air, and kamala river.

KAMALA Maii Temple

Ofcourse, another beauty of Sindhuli is this must visit temple named Kamala Mai Temple, its on your way to Bhiman from Madi , which upholds a very important significance of superstitious belief - that everything you ask for it, the Goddess fulfills it. Lets see if My wish gets fulfilled soon - but , I dont remember what I had asked FOR  #mybad !!
Hahahahaaaa!!

Janakpur

A small town , which is now turned up into one of the most famous pilgrimage tourist destination of Nepal. Well, it's the birth city of Lord Princess Sita who was married to Lord Prince Ram of Aayodhya. Talking about Jnakapur Dham, had made a visit to this beautiful city years back, when Dad , Mom , I and couple of dad's friends used to visit  different places , which we used to termed it as  SUPER LONG drive ... Hahahahaaaa !!

Hope I dont sound chessy or cliche ! As, that's what it is. The locality of Janaki temple is very different to what it was before, many shops on either sides of temple compounds .

For more about this place JANAKPUR DHAM

TIPS for travelling these places:

• April is the best season to  travel and visit these place (Sindhuli & Janakpur) as tose who dont have habit to Terai heat might have health issues.
• If you visit before April you will get a chance to taste Nepal's best Mausam i.e. Citrus Limetta, its seasonal fruit and tastes super YUMM !!
• Travelling is more fun in group , if you are single travelers shall also enjoy the same amount of fun but would suggest group!
• Haat bazar is the best place to shop in small towns and cities of these place as you get awesome cool items / stuffs in super cool prices. 
• Of course, when you visit Janakpur, esp . girls dont forget to buy those beautiful mud bangles, which are called LAAAHA if am not wrong.
• A jacket is must as if it rains its environment turns out chilled . 
• Of course, wear as light colored clothes or  comfortable clothes like me in the above pictures,  though am mostly dressed of black outfit. But, would suggest light colored clothes as the weather after 10 in both place is  quite hot.

A wrap for now, on my 15 days trip to these beautiful place.
Still more to wander

90's R.O.C.K.I.N.G. 80's

HELLO PEOPLE!!


I had planned on writing this post long time back - between fall.
Anyways
Before I start I would like to ask you all a QUESTION - which one is your favorite era of Fashion?
The 60's - 70's -  80's - 90' or 20's - which is precisely the mixture of all era !
I just love  70's & 80's Vogue , for me they were the best era of Vogue! For me it was, these era of vogue which has brought some really cool style in the fashion world.  Those bright colorful over coats, double breasted jackets,  fur faux , tweed coats , floral hippie styled palazzo pants & jumpsuits, long golden & black gowns & many more... ... .. ...
If  I start up with the 70& 80's era of vogue I can go on ... and  on....

So lets get back to this post, where, I have paired up my entire black outfit with a touch of light grey long over coat, which had been in our coats & jackets wardrobe since ages.... Well, am not a overcoat or jacket person  but, everytime , I  saw that coat, I always used to take it out try it on and put it back.  But this fall I didnt do that , I took it out, tried it on & walked out with it!! And I think I just nailed it - with this look as per the reviews I got at my snapchat & video which I had posted in my Instagram profiles.


I wore this outfit, when my beautiful citys' temperature had fallen down to 1* (weather is just an excuse - hahahahaaaa!)

Anyways I wore it almost the same look 2-3 times at work and I dont mind saying I love repeating the same outfit - well not the very next day but at least after a day or 3.  Yes, this is a very piece of beauty which WE - me & mom have it in our coats and jackets wardrobe and this beautiful piece belongs to my mom which she  had bought it during her foreign visit and thanks to her age she doesn't remember where on earth she bought it - all she remembers is it was one of her work training visit , during her early 20's!

OUTFIT DETAILS

Kickers - Goldstar

Over coat - Mom's wardrobe

Watch - DKNY 

Black shawl or stool - Shree Pashmina

Ofcourse, I paired the whole outfit with my all time favorite kickers GOLDSTAR #swankylovesgoldstar and since i didn't want the whole outfit to look like Men in black  #ladyversion I paired the whole look with Light grey over coat , green faux top and my DKNY watch . 

I named the post 90's rocking 80's as I really didnt know if it would be appropriate to say 70's vogue. Guess, 80's cool !

I hope you all enjoyed this post 

 Till en ... . 

Namaste

HELLO READERS!!

I  wouldn't mind saying that my wandering habit had been very much affected by my everyday errands! Reality of life  - MY LIFE
Thankfully, during my visit to a fellow designers' studio at boudha , I got a a chance to RUNAGATE even though it was a momentary.  This is one of the Gumba / Monastery where my work colleague  had parked his ride and told me this used to be one of his favorite hangouts in boudha. After we made our visit to the designers' studio  we planned to spend some time at this particular gumba "SETO Gumba" if aint wrong !

Even the earthquake didnt spared this beautiful place - which is SAD! the main building was also affected by the earthquake , due to which it was closed, and I only got to take picture with its Tall Wooden Door, which had these beautiful colorful patterns. The surroundings were field with nature and calmness which indeed made this RUNAGATE a worthwhile for that moment of my stay.
We didnt palnned up staying for long but ended up staying at this place more then an hour or so,
Those sounds of monks prayers, birds , smell of in-scent sticks, ofcourse the beauty of nature with sun set view from the corner.... ..

OUTFIT DETAILS 

Kickers - SKECHERS 

Tote Bag - Emerge

Shades - Ray ban Clubmaster

Watch - Aldo 

Hat - Ripcurl

Since its already spring, i just paired up my work outfit with black and touch of bright colors, i.e. my hat and kickers gave a spice to my black outfit ! Also I wore these cool pairs of kickers as I had to go visit alot of places in search of Props for phootshoot #lifeofastylist #swankyranaasstylist
