pinning countries

whilst i plan and dream about our vacations for 2012, i fall in love with this map for my wall – it comes with 202 pins, plus two different coloured ones to mark home and the next trip.

a few months back, my brother got my parents, my sister and i all competitive about how many countries had each one been to in our lives – how many pins would you be using in the map?

book obsession

one of the best feelings ever, when you’re reading a book you like so much you can’t stop, but don’t want to finish either  – i am reading one of those right now!

i must’ve been indian in another life, because i just can’t get enough of indian books. my favourites? the white tiger by aravind ariga, passion india by javier moro, shantaram by gregory david roberts, and i can’t get my eyes of unaccustomed earth by jhumpa lahiri.

check out kimia’s blog for a great experience in india – i’m kind of jealous!
