Deep within a forest, at the summit of a volcano, exists an extraordinary world—a world where something else is possible. A world called Varekai. No doubt I’ll update my post after having witnessed it in the flesh and blood. Varekai in Romanian dialect of the gypsy and nomads means ‘wherever‘ Varekai is a form of expressing movement growth and the infinite passion to wander this planet. It is Cirque du Soleil’s way of paying homage to the art and spirit of circus and the tradition thereof. Continue reading ‘Varekai - Cirque du Soleil’

In a few hours from now we’ll be at this gorgeous little place seated by the window overlooking the Sydney harbour as the night lights come on in the city and the ferries sail by over a scrumptious meal at the Harbourside Indian Restaurant. I can barely wait to be there. Having gone past this restaurant many times, I’ve always wanted to go in for a meal. Am waiting with baited breath.
As photographer for the sophisticated Home magazine, Harold Cazneaux produced some very extraordinary catalogue of Sydney style in the 1920s and 30s.
From the Art Deco skyscrapers of the city centre to images of modern home design and interiors, Cazneaux depicted all that was fashionable and new and strikingly modern and glamorous.
It will grab your attention as you go past. It’ll make you stop and look inside and ponder.. gee and it looks really nice and cozy. Colourful. I have gone past this place a number of times and wanted to go in for a meal… until the day finally arrived… we rocked up at Kathmandu Ma — a Nepalese restaurant on King Street, Newtown. The place is adorn with a lot of Nepalese souvenirs, big and small old and relatively new, right from the majestic panorama of the icy Himalayas framed against a maroon wall to the very traditional anodised metal amulets and necklaces and bracelets, the nepalese triangular flags that you see atop their shrines.
It takes one to be sick and down with some sort of ailment to realise how most of the time we just dont value good health… Like Ruth said in her entry a few weeks back we too are down with the bug from hell. Constant coughing that pulls your lungs apart, high tempertature and lethargy, difficulty breathing and worst of all, difficulty getting a good night sleep… I feel so incapacitated and there is nothing worse than sitting at home locked up. I hate it!
Would this be an excellent gift for your black Macbook? what do you say?
