It's Halloween time! I bet by this hour your Instagram feed is flooded with costumes and pumpkins! Because tomorrow is Halloween! This scary festival is celebrated on 31 st October every year. All we can associate is getting dressed up scarily, watching eerie movies and trick or treat. But have you ever wondered why this is celebrated? Why do people roam around in gothic clothing and costumes? 
This day is celebrated before the All saints Day which is an important day in the Christian calendar. The word Halloween is derived from Hallowe 'en meaning holy evening. But if this day is holy, then why so much scariness is associated with it?
Halloween marks the celebration of Celtic festivals of Samhain, marking the end of summers. They believed that evil spirits would damage the crops of the next season. Hence began the tradition of lighting bonfires and setting up elaborate dinners to scare away evil spirits.
Last year, exactly during this time we were in Sydney, Australia. On this particular evening, we were at one of the most prominent amusement parks of Sydney, The Luna Park. Thankfully the rides were closed and Halloween party was taking place in full swing. So we not only got to witness eerily dressed people but also took part in the revelries! Some of them scared us too, but in the end we had a real gala time. There is nothing like travelling during special festive Season.

The city of Sydney is divided into two main parts North and South Sydney; separated by the Harbour Bridge. You can either take a ferry to the Luna Park from the Circular Quay or can cross the bridge on foot...like we did. After our stint at Luna Park, we roamed around the neighbourhood and spotted many Halloween decorated homes.

As the title suggests, I really feel that ZEE Rishtey Awards is a celebration of emotions. Let me explain why!? After working hard every day, we spent the few leisure hours we have with our favourite TV shows. Watching it every day for years, people tend to develop a bond with the characters from the shows. The character no longer feels fictional and seem like a part of our lives. Understanding this sentiment, the ZEE Rishtey Awards celebrates the beauty of all its best shows and stars who work day and night to keep us entertained. 
I have been following the Awards ever since its inception in 2007 and have seen its incredible growth in both scale and ambition. But this year is a special one as ZEE Rishtey Awards becomes a part of a beautiful journey. Referred to as ‘ZEE Ki Beti Ki Shaadi’, ZEE Rishtey awards become the platform for an extravagant wedding of Priya Singh and Sunny Kakkar, a young couple from Bareilly. This wedding will have all the functions like any other wedding, be it  Roka, Sangeet, Mehendi and all other functions. The difference - the entire ZEE family are the baraatis here who will sing, dance and get together to ensure that Sunny and Priya’s wedding is one that people will remember. 
Abhi and Pragya’s mesmerising performance that is filled with romance


Those looking for a laugh-a-thon, trust me, you are in for a ride. Just thinking about the funny acts by Krushna, Mubeen and Bharti Singh makes my stomach ache. Most of the times I am just looking forward to the beautiful dance performances by my favourite stars. But when these guys came on-stage, they totally owned it with their comic timings and definitely became a highlight of the event. 

And, what should I say about the outfits that the celebs wore! They were so pleasing to the eyes. Like, I could keep watching their gorgeous outfits again and again. Be it the cute blue suit worn by Alladin or Meera’s floral lehenga, the red carpet of ZEE Rishtey Awards was a treat to watch. Possibly, the only time I got slightly distracted from drooling over their outfits was when the stars were speaking about the ZEE5 app. I was happy to find that the TV celebs I watch on TV are just as passionate about binging episodes as I do. 
(Screengrab of Meera’s byte during the red carpet)
I am a big TV nerd and viewing just one doesn’t suit me right. So, I am only happy to figure out that all these beautiful moments from ZEE Rishtey awards are online for me to rewatch anytime I want. So, here’s to rewatching and reliving the fantastic award function through it's behind the scenes videos, performances, comedy skits and a lot more, for free on the ZEE5 app. Basically, TV fans have got everything they could ask for in their watchlist this season!

The Saree draped like a gown...The Cinderella Drape
There is no other piece of clothing in the world that can be worn in at least hundreds of different styles.  The main element that can 'make' or 'break' a particular saree style is the blouse design. However I do not wear sarees on a daily basis. Its not that they take a lot of time to drape or they are not practical. My mom has worn them all the time. In fact she drapes a saree more quickly than I can put on a dress with belt! I do not wear them regularly because I find them special. I like to reserve them for special occasions. I love to treat them and dress them up elaborately. However I wear and re wear my special blouses all the time. If I particularly love a blouse design then I wear it with a lehenga, sometimes with a long skirt (for special occassions) or even with embellished pants! It's all about creativity.

Since I always love to switch up my saree and blouse game, I decided to drape the nine yard wonder in different styles; playing with different draping styles and of course blouses.
The Cocktail Drape..
So you can see that the saree need not be worn like a ‘saree’ only! You can redefine it in an endless number of ways! I have used an off shoulder blouse here for that party look.
The Kaftan Drape..
I have used a high neck blouse here for this special drape.
Here I am rounding up a few of my favourite blouse designs that can be worn with a saree or lehenga or even long skirts and pants as I said before on various occasions.

      
The neck of the blue one is special indeed. This one is perfect for pairing with lehengas or shararas. You can wear with a long skirt too! How cute are the tassels?Red is my colour. Anything paired with this gorgeous blouse is as perfect for walking on the red carpet as well as for any glam wedding. 

      Raising the bling quotient by a notch but not compromising on the elegance quotient.  Anything paired with this red blouse is as perfect for a girl’s day out as well as for an office party. To glam it up, wear with a bright saree. And to tone it down, even a plain cotton saree would look glamorous. How pretty are the sleeves?
The golden one is purely party wear. Nothing can go wrong while pairing anything with this blouse.


      This elaborate peacock blue and golden blouse is an example of exquisite craftsmanship. The elephant sleeves are absolutely stunning and so is the fabric of the blouse. Love the fluidity of the sleeves here.

      Blue and golden is one of my favourite colour combinations in an outfit. Anything paired with it is going to look very contemporary yet very chic and elegant. 

      This printed blue and orange blouse is an epitome of pure elegance. This is apt for an important office meeting or you can flaunt it at your friend’s bridal shower or a lunch date!

The rooftop was a nice place to have breakfast or just chill. I particularly loved the grapevines!
Our fabulous stay in an apartment in Istanbul  encouraged us to book more apartments in the future. So in Italy we searched for good B and Bs. For our last stop in Italy, Bari, we were in a fix whether to book a hotel or a B n B. Bari was not at all on my husband's list. He wanted to visit Napoli or Milano. It was my determination to visit the trulli of Alberobelo. There were a myriad of accomodation options. From trulli resorts to simple rooms, Bari had all.  We of course wanted a place which was at a walking distance from the railway station. Finally we found a B n B which was nice as well as near the Railway station. Alright not near but a twenty minute walk from the station.

Outside the Bari Centrale Station...tired face after a nine hour train journey
I was in a sad mood when we left Venice. I was leaving my dream city and I was not over it. It was like parting from a lover. Our train was early in the morning and it was rainy and chilly in Venice. It was an eight and half hours journey from there. It was our longest Italian train journey. And the train fare too was the highest we had paid anywhere else in Italy. 
Views of the Adriatic Sea from the train
Bari is the capital of Puglia province. Its a big, modern city. Puglia is known for its beaches. Our train kept on running along the Adriatic Sea. The vibe was so fresh, so touristy, that our moods immediately got uplifted! I started getting over Venezia!
The ambiance was absolutely different from that of rest of Italy. Tall buildings of modern architecture adorned the sides of the roads. It seemed like we had reached another country. We started walking towards our destination of course I had my natural GPS (husband ) with me.
All set to explore Bari
It was not at all a task hunting down the address. Our apartment was in Old Bari (Vecchia Bari) Everything was made of stone: from the roads to the pavements to the houses. However just to confirm our way, we asked a fellow sitting by the roadside. He got way too helpful and accompanied us to our apartment. Then he started asking for food and money! He won't leave! How scary!
Outside our apartment...it was a stony neighborhood...
The B n was run by a pretty girl from Montenegro and a Bangladeshi guy. That guy got so emotional talking to me in Bengali that he gifted us an old bottle of wine (2009). He had not been to his country in seven years!
 The house was pretty and we loved every minute of our stay in it (which was very less as we were out all the time) It was entirely made of stone. The ceiling, the walls. There was however no interaction with our hosts as they did not live in the same house. It was kind of a hotel experience only; in true old Bari style. 
The stone walls...




Too bad it was raining...otherwise I would have enjoyed my meals here...

The vecchia Bari neighbourhood from top...That is a school at the back...



Later on I realised that the people of Puglia have a thing for sunflowers



The most delicious Italian coffee in the kitchenette..
