To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations - such is pleasure beyond compare.

When you have friends that take random pictures of you and never forget to apply cute filters 🙏

“Shall we put on the fluffies and head out for a run?”, asked my brain? “Indeed we shall!”, said I.
A cup of coffee was involved in the process and the following lines:

Outside, there was that predawn kind of clarity, where the momentum of living has not quite captured the day. The air was not filled with conversation or thought bubbles or laughter or sidelong glances. Everyone was sleeping, all of their ideas and hopes entangled in the dream world, leaving this world clear and crisp and cold as a bottle of milk in the fridge.

So let me ask you this. Have you ever seen the dawn? Not a dawn groggy with lack of sleep or hectic with mindless obligations and you about to rush off on an early adventure or business, but full of deep silence and absolute clarity of perception? A dawning which you truly observe, degree by degree. It is the most amazing moment of birth. And more than anything it can spur you to action. Have a burning day.

He shook his head pityingly. “This, more than anything else, is what I have never understood about your people. You can roll dice, and understand that the whole game may hinge on one turn of a die. You deal out cards, and say that all a man's fortune for the night may turn upon one hand. But a man's whole life, you sniff at, and say, what, this naught of a human, this fisherman, this carpenter, this thief, this cook, why, what can they do in the great wide world? And so you putter and sputter your lives away, like candles burning in a draft.”
“Not all men are destined for greatness,” I reminded him.
“Are you sure, Fitz? Are you sure? What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? A sadder thing I cannot imagine. Why should not a mother say to herself, if I raise this child aright, if I love and care for her, she shall live a life that brings joy to those about her, and thus I have changed the world? Why should not the farmer that plants a seed say to his neighbor, this seed I plant today will feed someone, and that is how I change the world today?”
“This is philosophy, Fool. I have never had time to study such things.”
“No, Fitz, this is life. And no one has time not to think of such things. Each creature in the world should consider this thing, every moment of the heart's beating. Otherwise, what is the point of arising each day?

The library package!! The amount of readings one needs to do is not helped when you have regular subscriptions to #theeconomist and #thenewyorker coming in and of course - since one pays for them - one has to read them. To be honest - I might have hit upon a new personal way of forcing my self to read more about the world too. It is this thought that forced me to also subscribe to #vogue :p not pictured here of course lol. Such is life!! #positivity #positivevibes #motivation #motivationalquotes #thoughts #vogue #theeconomist #thenewyorkermagazine #economicsmajor #studentlife #lifestyleblogger #lifestyle #coffee #ofcoursecoffee

Putting together a mood board to get all my inspiration in one image is what I find to be the easiest way to decorate one’s space.
My new apartment has solid & dark sea green-blue carpeting in the living room and the bedroom - most of the furniture is either oak colored or a bit lighter - the walls and doors are all white. So putting together a color scheme that put all these options into a cohesive theme was of utmost importance to me.
I do also like a bit of a bohemian vibe to come through but not so much as to make the appeal unfamiliar. Prominent colors thus will be a variety of mustards and dusty pink with accents of antique gold and sometimes copper. A detailed post on this will be up on my blog soon and progress on decorating the apartment will be reported as and when new pieces are added.

Nothing beats freshly grilled chicken over garden salad and with dried raisins and seeds. YUM. Alhumdolillah for the little blessings.
