Sometimes I really wonder why people are not able to follow basic etiquettes. It seems some really simple code of conduct eludes them. I am sure they have been taught by their parents all the proper things and I am guessing that they teach the same to their children, but the question is weather you practice what you preach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have been taking some classes at home. One particular lady have been coming to learn my "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://purviis.blogspot.com/2012/05/3d-wall-art.html">3D Wall Art"</a> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">Well, I made her sit in the living room and went to another room to fetch some stuff. I got the stuff and the moment I turned around I see this creepy women standing in my face... yup the woman followed me into the room, UNINVITED and to top it all she started looking around especially all my art supplies and started a POLICE INVESTIGATION..... what is this? how does this work? oh this painting is good...how did you do this? what tool is this? how you use it? oh I liked this technique of yours, can you teach me???? It was an OMG situation, really.....</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This woman has been continuously asking me if I can give her my designs. I have made it clear many a times that these are my designs, my hard work, my intellectual property, hence I will not part with them but, nothing is stopping her from trying her luck again and again. </div>

Anyways, i guess one meets a whole lot of people in this world and one needs to tackle them in various ways.... Part of life it is...right?????</div>

Lets got to the outfit now:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I sometimes like wearing very very basic outfits like this one. A simple white top with a regular jeans. It just gives me a good easy breezy feeling. Though even simpler outfits can be accessorized with the right accessories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What do you have to say about such outfits????</div>

It was simply beautiful. Although because of acclimatization issues, I was going bonkers with a headache for the first 4 days, but after that it was simply fun. The varied terrain, the amazing drives, pretty colors, the perfect weather, all made it a memorable vacation</div>

I am back from an amazing holiday from Leh. It indeed is a beautiful place, so beautiful that you would refuse to believe it. The varied landscape is truly magical and mesmerizing. You really have to see it to believe it. More on my Leh trip in the coming posts. Till then lets move on to this outfit.</div>

I love hearts but finding good fabrics with hearts on them is quite a difficult task because pnted hearts generally look kiddish. but not this one, I instantly fell in love with this fabric the moment I laid my eyes on it and I got it in 2 beautiful colors. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The fabric is so soft and fluid that I simply had to make a dress with a flair in it so that I could twirl around and play with it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
You all must have noticed that I generally keep the silhouette and embellishment on my dresses pretty basic and simple. Thats how I like it and this is what I have done with this one. I had this beautiful piece of brocade lying around which was once a part of my Mom's old sari and now is adorning my most favorite dress. I also added a sparkly stone to the belt for a little bit of glamour :) :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Currently its way too hot here in UAE and the one thing that comes to mind after bearing such scorching heat is to run off to a cooler place ( obvious, right????) .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways the point is that we are going for a vacation, away from this heat and away from working and being busy. I like being busy and love what I do but then I loooovveeee traveling and seeing new places. We have been wanting to see this place for past 5 years now and finally the dream/wish will turn to reality. Will let you know about this place when I come back :) :)</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The past 45 days was a very happy and exciting for both me and my husband. We celebrated my husband's birthday, my birthday and our marriage anniversary. We celebrated 5 years of togetherness this year. Sometimes it feels that the time is standstill and 5 years seems like nothing and yet at other times it feels to be flying away. But what we know is that we are happy and are enjoying being together. <br />
<br />
Now lets get down to the outfit :)<br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
This particular fabric is available in blocks, i.e same rectangular or square print on front and back , just like a scarf. I wanted this black and white print to have loads of color hence the floral embroidery. The embroidery is simply a collection of many kinds of floral shapes and leaves put together in a non symmetrical way.</div>

I have not studied fashion in a fashion school but my passion for dressing and love for GOOGLE :) :) has made me learn quite a lot about fashion, trends, terminologies and jargons.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There was a time when I was repeatedly coming across terms like a Sheath dress and a Shift dress. Even though I was designing these types of dresses, I did not really know how to categorize them, after all a dress is a dress..right????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyhow, now I know the difference and I am outing the difference between a shift dress and a sheath dress on my blog for all of you to know or to reconfirm or to debate :)</div>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>It does not have a defined waist line and is not form fitting</li>
<li>It generally hangs loosely from the shoulders and typically is said to be knee length and sleeveless</li>
<li>These dresses generally have a shorter necklines like a boat neck or may be collars</li>
<li>It can be worn with belts, stockings , tights etc</li>
</ul>
<div>
<u><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">Sheath Dress</span></b></u></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>It is absolutely form fitting</li>
<li>It can be worn longer then a shift dress</li>
<li>This dress can be worn on many occasions and it has many interpretations like with or without sleeves, long or short, formal or casual</li>
</ul>

<b><u>For the new readers:</u></b> Some of the outfits I wear have been designed by me and made at my mother's boutique in India. Whenever I blog about any such outfit, I write a Design Story telling you all about how the outfit came to life. So here follows one more design story...</div>

I got this dress made some 3-4 years ago. I wanted a very simple summer dress with satin ribbons used as embellishments. I have also used a feather lace along with the ribbons on the empire line</div>

Anyways, I guess my life will continue to be busy for a while, which I think is a great thing..... however, I will try my best to squeeze in at least 2 posts a week.</div>

Yellow is a perfect spring summer color and a Maxi dress is one of the easiest and breeziest dress form to be worn in hot weather like here in Dubai. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
This maxi dress is paneled from the empire line to give it a nice A-Silhouette. Both the waistline and hem have been embellished with a dark blue colored velvet ribbon. Also I have kept the front and back neckline to be a simple round because I wanted to play with the bow that I made from a yellow lace. I also have added some cream pearls to the bow for the dramatic effect. I had this blue floral pendant lying around with me, which I decided to add to the bow. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
By the way, this bow is detachable, i.e I can pin it on any other outfit as well.</div>

Well I think I love to travel and see new places, but I guess I tend to incline towards beaches a tad bit more. And the best part is that I live in a place which has such beautiful beaches. I can actually walk down to a beach near my house and gaze at the sea, the sun, soak my feet in the clear water and DREAM :) :)</div>

Last time I had worn this outfit <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2011/12/perfect-saturday.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">here</span></span></a>. Incidentally, I had gone to a beach that day as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And you will not have to notice closely to figure out that bit the times my outfit and the background were completely matching. Now instead of matching the accessories with my outfit, I end up matching the background :) :) </div>

Sometimes you have a design in mind and then you source the fabric, embellishments etc. to make that garment. But sometimes a particular fabric, its color, its texture, its design speak to you and tells you how to transform it. Well the following dress is the result of one such telling :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">The Design Story</span></u></b></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I loved the borders on this fabric and I wanted to keep them as it is hence i decided to make a Kaftan dress out of this fabric. I added the belt to give definition to otherwise a straight silhouette. This belt actually goes from front to back giving the illusion of separate sleeves on the dress.</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><u><b>The Fabric</b></u></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">:</span> Printed Crepe from a local fabric shop in Ludhiana. This fabric has border on both its sides.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><u><b>The Silhouette:</b></u></span> A knee length Kaftan dress</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">The Design Elements:</span></u></b> Floral Embroidery with gold accents at the waist and belt at the back.</div>

Yup, I am back. It has been 2 weeks already since I have come back from India and I am pretty much settled here again :)<br />
<br />
Also, as you all see, I have given the blog a little makeover. Actually I have split this single blog into two blogs.<br />
Earlier what was titled "Purvi's Creative Hub", now has become "A Beautiful Life", which you are reading right now.<br />
I have created another blog which is now titled <a href="http://purviis.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">"Purvi's Creative Hub"</span></a>. You can check it out <a href="http://purviis.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">here.</span></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">"A Beautiful Life"</span></a> from now on will be all about fashion, food, my thoughts and my life in general ( i.e whatever I feel like sharing :) :))<br />
and, <a href="http://purviis.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">"Purvi's Creative Hub"</span></a> will be about my Art and Craft Projects.<br />
<br />
Now the question is, why have I done so???? ...... Simply to make my writing and content more structured.<br />
Remember me asking you guys<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;"> </span></span><a href="http://Remember me asking you guys here, whether I should have different blogs for my different interests" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">here</span></span></a>, whether I should have different blogs for my different interests or a single blog filled with all that I like.<br />
<br />
Well!!! after following a number of other blogs, I have realized that people have varied tastes and a blog necessarily should be focused on one or two subjects. Other things in minor dozes is ok. But in my case, I think I pursue all my interests on a major scale and hence I feel the need to write about all of them. This was taking away the focus of my blog. Hence I decided to have 2 different blogs for 2 different types of content and audience. Simple logic, Right??????<br />
<br />
Ok now lets get to the outfit.<br />
I have previously mentioned <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2011/04/design-process.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">here</span></a> and <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/01/sunday-and-sand.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">here</span></a> that I have my own boutique in Ludhiana, India. A lot of my clothes are designed in-house by me, my mother and my sister.<br />
<br />
So I have decided that from now on, whenever I will post any outfit, designed at my boutique, I will also write about the story or process behind that outfit.<br />
<br />
What say???? Does it sound interesting??????<br />
Anyways lets see the story behind this outfit.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><br /></span></u></b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; font-weight: bold;"><b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">The Design Story</span></u></b></span><br />
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><u><b>The Fabric</b></u></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #741b47;">:</span> Printed Crepe from a local fabric shop in Ludhiana. It has the same print on the front and the back</div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><u><b>The Silhouette:</b></u></span> Sleeveless with A-line Hem to keep the focus entirely on the print and the design.</div>
<div>
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;">The Design Elements:</span></u></b> Now the color black and the print on it are very strong, so I had to think of a design that would not overpower it but at the same time will stand out. Hence came in the <b>Orange Peter Pan Collar</b> in the front and the <b>bold golden zip</b> on the back</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Hello Everybody!!!! Long time no see, right????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well I am still in India and so far it has been a great trip. From Sharjah to Bangalore to Delhi to Jaipur and finally to Ludhiana, I have enjoyed every part of this trip. Of Course there have been the Oh so familiar bickering with/of the relatives and the likes but then these little glitches are too small when compared with meeting friends after a very long time and then meeting family and being with them is a different ballgame altogether.... right?????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, I have been painting, designing my clothes, working on a couple of more projects (details in the future posts). I have so many plans and projects lined up, its all very exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time. Will share things with you all when I am a little more sure of them. For the time being I will give you 3 basic hints regarding my 3 projects: CLOTHES, PEN, PAPER..... have I revealed too much??????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
By the way following is the last outfit I shot before leaving for India.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Maxis in my opinion will continue to be the "in" thing in upcoming seasons as well and even if they are not, I will still wear them simply because in all this is a dress form which gives one so many reason to wear namely: comfortable. breathable, easy, elegant and regal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also these are my husband's favorite and he generally goes click crazy when I wear these beauties ( I have 4 so far :) :) and plan to get a couple more on my way back from India :) :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can see the one of the other maxis I have worn, <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/01/sunday-and-sand.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">here</span></a>.</div>

I thought I should make use of all the endless drafts lying with me and write a last post before leaving for India. Also this is again an outfit post as I do not have any new or finished artwork to show nor are any philosophical thoughts crossing my mind, nor has anybody or anything bothered me much which can make me vent out on the blog, plus I am in the phase of getting things in order before final packing happens...I can't begin to tell you, how excited I am :) :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, so back to this post........Umm.. I have read many many posts talking about what will be the most in things this spring like pleats, pastels, florals, dropped hems..hmn...let me think now... oh!!! well there is this top that has been lying in my closet from past year which I have worn many a times, which is fun and flirty and somehow has all the ingredients of the "In Fashion" outfit....BUT... I bought it because I liked it and not because I wanted to follow the "trend". <b>The point I want to make is to not be blinded by what the commercially driven fashion houses wants to slide down your throat. Buy what you like when and when you like it and not because a fashion magazine or a blogger says that you've got to have it NOW. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Also if you can remember, we all had worn pleated skirts as kids/teenagers and then "they went out of fashion" and we started to hate them. But now they are all back and we sort of love them again, right??? Well, the thing about fashion is that it runs in cycles, i.e what goes around comes back around. Earlier these cycles used to be very long like 70's polka dots made a come back just about recently but now these polka dots will keep coming back in a short span of time, rather I would say that they will never really go anywhere, but would be reinterpreted in one way or the other. However, they will be promoted heavily as the next "in thing" all over the internet and fashion shows at regular intervals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>So pleats are in now, it will not be so in sometime later but will come back with a bang in only a couple of years. So spend wisely and hold on to the timeless pieces.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks for reading.</div>

And yes, there is an interesting swirly fun thing at the end of this post, do watch it :) :)</div>

So I have not been posting anything on my blog and not reading any of yours :( , hence, I need to apologize on both these counts: "I am Sorry"<br />
Random and not so random things have been keeping me busy and life is going to get even busier in light of my upcoming India trip next week. It means a month long vacation for me :) :) and it also means further lack of posts on the blog :( also I will not be able to read or comment on your blogs on a regular basis :( :(<br />
I will try to post may be pictures and all but philosophy and musings and blabber will have to wait till I get back in April. May be I will schedule some posts as well.....<br />
<br />
Leaving you with another outfit of mine. The belt worn is same that I wore in my last outfit <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-coordinate-colors-of-your-outfit.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
By the way I hope you guys had a good time on Valentine's Day. Mine sure was fun with the Goodies-Bag I got and the dinner and movie date :) :) We saw "The Vow", it was the perfect movie for the day. I normally like rom-coms and not the seriously romantic flicks but this one was an exception :)<br />
<br />
Bye!!!! Will see you every now and then :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remember <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/01/colors-basics.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">this post</span></a> about Colors. If not then click<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span><a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/01/colors-basics.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">here</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span>and know the basics about the color schemes, or may be if the theory part bores you then first read this post which is about the practical application of all the preaching earlier and then decide if you want to know your basics :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I had mentioned about <b>Analogous Color Scheme</b> in which harmony is created by using colors next to each other on the color wheel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kv4b_9Jib9Y/TyZ1s4a4xFI/AAAAAAAAC2s/enqQTIvhfxQ/s1600/15.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Kv4b_9Jib9Y/TyZ1s4a4xFI/AAAAAAAAC2s/enqQTIvhfxQ/s400/15.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Check out the color wheel above, red and violet forms an Analogous Color Scheme. Also instead of the basic hues we can also use their respective <b>tints, tones and shades</b> ( for explanation refer to <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/01/colors-basics.html" target="_blank">this post</a>) as well to create such color schemes. This is what I have done in the following outfit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bQVYDTiLUFs/Ty15AjEVVPI/AAAAAAAAC7U/2VSpZ_wZliY/s1600/IMG_5882.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bQVYDTiLUFs/Ty15AjEVVPI/AAAAAAAAC7U/2VSpZ_wZliY/s640/IMG_5882.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
The basic hue here is the red of my dress, which I have paired with its tint, i.e the pink shirt also I have used the next color to red on the wheel, violet/purple for my footwear and black tights and belt balance out the whole look. I hope you have understood what I am trying to say here :) :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Also another story for the outfit is that I wanted to wear my bright red net dress in a casual way and I wanted to make use of my formal shirt as well, hence I paired them together utilizing all my resources in the best possible way :) :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
By the way this dress is my own design and I got it made at my Mom's and mine :) boutique in India. Also its a black tie on belt that I am wearing also designed by yours truly :)</div>

Saw this on Shalini's <a href="http://www.readingandchickens.com/2012/02/04/a-to-z/" target="_blank">blog</a> which she in turn got from various other blogs who got the idea from other blogs, so I am not sure from where this idea has originated but I think it was meant to be copied :) though I have tweaked some pointers so that I can control what I tell :) :)<br />

So this weekend I had another exhibition which went pretty well, but the highlight of the day was a surprise visit from Deepa of <a href="http://deepazworld.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Hues n Shades</a>. Only a few days ago I had stumbled upon her blog and found out that she is an artist, she is based out of Dubai and she sometimes exhibits at the same event at which I showcase my Art Work. Now this was too much of a co-incidence, so I got in touch with her, we exchanged a few e-mails and were following each others work via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/purviis" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. On Friday, a woman with her little daughter and husband walks upto me and says, "Hi! Purvi, this is Deepa", for a brief second I wondered, who could this be and how she knows me and then I realized she was the same blogger I had written to a few days back. I was so excited and happy to meet her. A part of my virtual life was standing in front of me. This was the first time I realized that what fun it could be to meet fellow bloggers. We chatted about our work, the art scene in Dubai, her exhibitions and the likes, but in all my excitement I forgot to click pictures with Deepa :( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Anyways , Deepa it was really nice meeting you :) :) and I will remember to click us some photos, the next time we meet. </div>

I need a favor from you guys. The organization with which I display my art work is running a "Best Display Competition" this month on Facebook and my Art Space is also one of the contenders. So could you please follow this link, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150531894802379&set=a.10150531890777379.377979.154436237378&type=3&theater" target="_blank">here</a>, and click the like button. Its a photograph on the Facebook page that you have to like and not the Facebook page itself, so do not worry about the compulsory obligation of any sorts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But you can definitely like my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/purviis" target="_blank">Facebook</a> page ;)</div>

I am not much of a dessert person, I do not really have a sweet tooth but Dear Husband loves anything sweet and he also loves anything which has been baked i.e cakes, breads and cookies. So today while I was checking out the blogs I read regularly, I came across this <a href="http://thechefandherkitchen.blogspot.com/2012/02/eggless-marble-cake.html" target="_blank">Eggless Marble Cake Recipe</a> on <a href="http://thechefandherkitchen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Prathibha's Blog</a>. Well! I had all the ingredients readily available at home and enough free time on my hand to bake a surprise for Dear Husband who comes home at lunch. So I got going and this is what I achieved:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>A perfectly beautiful looking Cake :)</li>
<li>A perfectly delighted Husband :) :)</li>
<li>A perfect sense of accomplishment for Me :) :) :)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here goes the recipe and the pictures. I am sure you will drool over the pictures and believe me the cake was soft and moist and very easy to make. So go ahead and give it a shot.</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Ingredients:</u></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All Purpose Flour: 1 1/4 Cups</div>
<div>
Unsalted Butter: 1/2 Cup</div>
<div>
Powdered Sugar: 3/4 Cup</div>
<div>
Milk: 3/4 Cup</div>
<div>
Cocoa Powder : 2 tbsp</div>
<div>
Condensed Milk: 3 tbsp</div>
<div>
Baking Powder: 2 tsp</div>
<div>
Baking Soda: 1/2 tsp</div>
<div>
Vanilla Essence: 1 tsp</div>
<div>
Hot Water: 2 tbsp</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Procedure:</u></b></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Preheat oven at 180 degree centigrade.</li>
<li>Pour hot water onto cocoa powder, mix it well and let it come to room temperature. I suggest sifting the cocoa powder to get rid of all the lumps.</li>
<li>Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and keep aside.</li>
<li>Cream butter ( at room temperature) and sugar till light and frothy.</li>
<li>Add half of the flour mixture and half of milk to the creamed butter and sugar and mix well.</li>
<li>Now add another half of the milk and condensed milk to this mixture, mix well and then incorporate the other half of flour mixture.</li>
<li>Remove 1/3rd of the cake batter in another bowl and mix in the cocoa powder paste.</li>
<li>Mix in vanilla essence in the remaining 2/3rd of the cake mixture.</li>
<li>Grease a cake tin or a bunt pan or a loaf tin. I used a bread loaf tin.</li>
<li>Pour in the white batter in the tin.</li>
<li>Now add the cocoa mixture in small patches and run a knife or spoon through the batter in swirly pattern.</li>
<li>Put the tin in the oven and bake it for 40 minutes. </li>
<li>Do the toothpick test to ensure the cake is done.</li>
<li>Remove the cake on a wire cooling rack.</li>
<li>Let it cool down completely before slicing it.</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>
<b><u>My Notes:</u></b></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>It took me 1 hour to bake the cake in my oven so you will have to figure out the behavior of your oven and then progress.</li>
<li>Use a very sharp knife to slice the cake as it is very moist and soft, hence prone to crumbling down when sliced.</li>
<li>I somehow ended up having more of cocoa paste batter hence my cake as less evident marble swirls, so be carefully while dividing the cake batter.</li>
</ol>

<br />
Its a new month and a new day. It seems like yesterday when we were all bringing in the new year and look how time has flown, all 31 days of January are gone. A lot has happened in the past 31 days. I made a bad decision and saw the not so fruitful result , learnt a valuable lesson and now when I reflect back I see that making that decision had me eliminate a "What If" situation and thats a high priority in my life.<br />
<br />
Another decision though on the surface looks neutral, but actually enlightened me of various possibilities as far as my Art Career is concerned.<br />
<br />
And as the month progressed two distinct opportunities presented themselves and I am working on them with my fingers crossed. Also I have been struck with a new idea, something unique to practice and I am fully committed to take it on.<br />
<br />
You must be wondering why am I just giving the outlines and keeping the details closeted. Well simply because things are in very nascent stage and I will write in detail as soon as I will have something concrete on them.<br />
<br />
I am so so excited for my plans for the next couple of months and I really hope things turn out the way I am imagining :) :)<br />
<br />
All in all Life is Good :) :) and Life is Beautiful :) :) and I intend to keep it that way.<br />
<br />
And this is how I dress when going out for shopping. Very basic and comfortable especially the footwear because the malls in Dubai can kill you by making you walk endlessly, hence the good old flip flops :)<br />

Putting together an outfit, making a painting, designing your blog or website, painting the house, putting together the interiors of our house, one of the common link between all these activities is picking up the color or coordinating other things around one color. Sometimes we keep scratching our heads but the things do not really come together the way we had imagined. And the worse situation is when you have to describe the color you have imagined to a third party. How many times has it happened that we are picturing a color in our mind but are not able to explain it ??? or we want to use multiple colors together but have no clue how to pair them up????<br />
<br />
Her I am outlining a basic guide to color selection but then first we need to start from the basics.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Color Wheel</span></u></b></div>
<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b><br />
Developed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666, is the basic tool to depict the main hues/colors from which the other colors are derived.<br />
Now color can be divided into 3 categories: Primary, Secondary and Tertiary Colors.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Primary Colors:</u></b> The ones which can not be made by mixing any other colors.<br />
Red, Blue Yellow<br />
<br />
<b><u>Secondary Colors:</u></b> These are in between the primary colors and are made by mixing 2 primary colors.<br />
Orange = Red + Yellow<br />
Green = Yellow + Blue<br />
Violet = Red + Blue<br />
<br />
<u><b>Tertiary Colors:</b></u> These are formed by mixing a primary and a secondary color<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There lies a full spectrum of colors between the each primary and secondary color as shown below:<br />

<b><u>Shade:</u></b> Its a result of adding black to the hue. Like garnet is a shade of red.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Tones</u></b>: Adding both black and white to a hue gives a tone, i.e we are aging grey to the hue. It is done to reduce the intensity of the hue.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Color Harmony in the simplest way is to pair up 2 or more colors and to make sure that they look good together. Many a times we are in a fix when we want to work with more then one color, e.g You want that your living room should have 3 colors with blue being the main color, but you do not know how to pick up the other 2 colors, or, you want to color block your outfit and you have picked up a pink skirt as the main element of your outfit and now you have to decide whether to pair the pink with 2 or 3 colors and how to choose these colors. To make sure that the colors chosen are in perfect harmony, we need to follow a color scheme. There pre-defined color schemes form the basis of all the color combinations we make. What I have explained further is true for all the hues including their respective tints, tomes and shades.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let us understand the concepts of core and accent colors in a color scheme, followed on by how to pick a particular color scheme:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Core Color:</u></b> Its the main/dominant color of the color scheme. Its the main color of the outfit, room, or painting</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Accent Colors:</u></b> These can be 2, 3 or more and can be chosen in the following formats:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHjbJjNvsEs/TyeT61KwDiI/AAAAAAAAC3k/Nc4QTczipKo/s1600/Analogous.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-XHjbJjNvsEs/TyeT61KwDiI/AAAAAAAAC3k/Nc4QTczipKo/s1600/Analogous.gif" /></a></div>
<u><b>Analogous:</b></u><br />
Colors which are next to each other on the color wheel. 2, 3 or more colors can be chosen for perfect harmony.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PLQdPrsX3-8/TyeT7uIdmxI/AAAAAAAAC3s/JsYuFU34ZTE/s1600/Complementary.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PLQdPrsX3-8/TyeT7uIdmxI/AAAAAAAAC3s/JsYuFU34ZTE/s1600/Complementary.gif" /></a></div>
<u><b>Complimentary:</b></u><br />
Colors which are directly opposite each other on the color wheel. This color scheme represents the most dramatic contrast and it should be used in light doses until and unless the impact desired is very loud.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RadFqz2ukIA/TyeT8QAzBII/AAAAAAAAC3w/jR8ziFcws6k/s1600/SplitComplementary.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RadFqz2ukIA/TyeT8QAzBII/AAAAAAAAC3w/jR8ziFcws6k/s1600/SplitComplementary.gif" /></a></div>
<u><b>Split-Complimentary:</b></u><br />
Choose a color and then choose the 2 colors on either side of its compliment. This again has a great contrast but a little less intensity then the complimentary color scheme.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wp-id1zXFjo/TyeT-VhDdsI/AAAAAAAAC4I/F1v1h7S-2RQ/s1600/Triad.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wp-id1zXFjo/TyeT-VhDdsI/AAAAAAAAC4I/F1v1h7S-2RQ/s1600/Triad.gif" /></a></div>
<b><u>Triadic:</u></b><br />
3 colors which are equidistant from each other and make an equilateral triangle. To use this color scheme, for best results, let one color to dominate and other two be the accents.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q--GsqjvBPQ/TyeT99bGrhI/AAAAAAAAC4A/e9aSm-7p0qc/s1600/Tetrad.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q--GsqjvBPQ/TyeT99bGrhI/AAAAAAAAC4A/e9aSm-7p0qc/s1600/Tetrad.gif" /></a></div>
<b><u>Tetradic / Rectangle:</u></b><br />
Two pairs of complimentary colors which form a rectangle. Again let one color be the core color.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>Square :</u></b><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MI6-lwOp8BE/TyeT8_F4RlI/AAAAAAAAC34/jWvQ_wUi8fU/s1600/Square.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MI6-lwOp8BE/TyeT8_F4RlI/AAAAAAAAC34/jWvQ_wUi8fU/s1600/Square.gif" /></a>Similar to rectangle color scheme except that all the four colors are equally spaced forming an equilateral square<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<b><u>Warm and Cool Colors:</u></b><br />
Warm Colors are red, yellow and orange<br />
Cool colors are blue, green and violet<br />
Two warm colors with one cool color or two cool colors with one warm color creates a dynamic harmony.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I wan not planning to do a post today but then this conversation happened in the morning :a<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Husband:</span> Just after getting up says, its Republic Day, switch on the television, they must be telecasting the Republic Day parade.<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #c27ba0;">Me:</span> What are you saying??? I used to watch the R Day parade when i was a small kid. Grown ups don't watch this stuff, its for kids.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I switched on the TV and started watching the parade and realized how stupid and wrong and ridiculously ignorant I am or lets say I was.<br />
I felt proud and happy watching the parade.<br />
<br />
It began with the arrival of the Prime minister Manmohan Singh who laid a wreath on the Amar Jawaan Jyoti.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3M6GrXSuF_E/TyEIMi4o5UI/AAAAAAAAC1c/SaXrXusel5Q/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="432" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3M6GrXSuF_E/TyEIMi4o5UI/AAAAAAAAC1c/SaXrXusel5Q/s640/12.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then was the President's arrival flanked by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President's_Bodyguard_(India)" target="_blank">President's Bodyguards</a> on the mounts. Did you know that President's Bodyguards are the oldest and most senior
regiment of the Indian army. A section of pesident’s army also serves in Siachen.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Those immaculately dressed bodyguards looked like a perfect combination of man and mount. The President was accompanied by Thailand's Prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, who was the chief guest for this years Republic Day Parade. She is the youngest and first women Prime Minister of Thailand with an extensive experience in the corporate world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The President then hoisted the Indian tricolor at the rajpath followed by the National Anthem and the awarding of Ashok Chakra to <a href="http://zeenews.india.com/news/nation/lt-navdeep-singh-wins-ashok-chakra-posthumously_754903.html" target="_blank">Lieutenant Navdeep Singh, posthumously</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Parade then was commenced by the flight of 4 M16 helicopters carrying the Indian flag and the 3
service flags of Indian Army, Air Force and Navy.</div>

A small village Dharhara of Bhagalpur district in Bihar has the tradition of planting 10 fruit bearing trees to celebrate the birth of every girl born. They say that girls and trees are both required and the world can not go on without them. How thoughtful is this? Did you knew about this?</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #a64d79;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The Disclaimer:</span></span><br />
<br />
These following facts are what I have experienced, realized, thought, felt, observed over a past couple of years, months, weeks and days. Some of these are related to the Blog world and some to my personal life. There is no co relation between one and another. Basically this is a random post about random things in my head that keep coming back to me on a regular basis :) :) Any resemblance to any person living or dead is definitely possible but is purely coincidental :P :P.<br />
Your opinions and comments are most welcome.<br />
<br />
So here we go:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>I can not become friends with a group of people who have already being friends or at least move in the same group. If those people do not make genuine efforts to make me comfortable, I simply feel as if I am intruding. One faces such situations when either you are newly married (this is still a tolerable situation) or when you move to a new country where you get introduced by a friend to his or her's friend circle and not all are so welcoming...</li>
<li>I can talk endlessly on any topic under the sun but then you will have to start the conversation. I am a total waste as far as starting a conversation is concerned. This is the reason why I fear meeting fellow bloggers or any new person.</li>
<li>I am thinking to un follow some of the bloggers because they seem to be think like me too such an extent that it creeps me out to see the similarities.</li>
<li>These days I have been thinking about training myself in one of the paper craft formats that I picked up a long time ago but haven't explored fully.</li>
<li>Some of the girls/women that I meet are too judgmental about me. They do not like my thoughts, my beliefs, my way of living, my dressing and somehow they always try to find faults with what I do. I <s>guess</s> know they are threatened by me :P :)</li>
<li>Also after 2 years of MBA and my interactions with people I also realized that I am quite likable and I am fun to be around and this thought of mine is based on the fact that people have come up to me and said so :) :) and they were genuine comments.</li>
<li>When I joined MBA, and told people that I was married, their jaws dropped to the floor, really, they were like: How? Why? When? married for 2 years? Will stay away from your husband for 2 years?....... I was a married girl, with not extra baggages that girls tend to carry after marriages, I was (I still am:)) fun, happy, cheerful and very unorthodox, and I think that hit the right cord. </li>
</ul>

I have previously written 7 random facts about me <a href="http://purvii.blogspot.com/2012/01/1-win-2-awards-7-facts-about-me.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I think I will make this a regular feature on my blog. What do you have to say about that ??????</div>

So now that I have unveiled all the 5 paintings of my latest collection, I would like to know what you think about each one of them in comparison to the other. So I have set up this poll for you to vote for the painting that you liked the best and if possible, then do tell me the reasons for your preference. This will help me put things in perspective while I go on designing more of the Art Work.</div>
