The weekend is always creeping up silently these days, thanks to a very busy few months at the office. I can’t believe tomorrow is Friday!
Here’s a little weekend inspiration (click on the image for its link):

People in India and other countries with large Hindu populations celebrated Holi, the Festival of Colors, this month.
Holi is celebrated as a welcoming of Spring, and a celebration of the triumph of good over evil.
Another brilliant photoessay by one of my favorite photoblogs ever, at Big Picture on Boston.com.
Here are a few of my favorite images, to check out the whole collection as well as read more, go to their site here.









Beautiful. Bravia should be jealous.

… a seat that will make you comfortable :)
When Yasmeen and I went to Makan looking for inspiration, one of the first thing we discussed was the plethora of random chairs scattered around the space. There’s the Abu Abed coffee chair, the deliciously personal couch, the wooden painted bench, the grandmotherish twine kitchen table chair, a modern swivelling office chair, among others.










Yes. Whoever you are, you’ll definitely find a spot to find your element.
If you, like me, enjoy finding your element on the world wide web, on chairs made of beautiful, beautiful pixels, then make yourself comfortable at Makan’s digital home: www.makanhouse.net.
At Makan’s website, you can stay updated with the latest events (the upcoming event on the homepage is by my friend Rusaila Bazlamit, who also happens to be a blogger, so don’t get too comfortable online and visit physical Makan too!), check out their archives of past events, as well as other things.
Come along and pay them a visit, and don’t forget to say hi on their blog, as they’re blogging newbies :)
