Independence Day in Humboldt Park

August 16, 2014December 29, 2016 Chika Gujarathi

India celebrated its Independence Day this Friday the 15th. I wanted Asha to experience a little bit of India but wasn’t feeling too crazy about driving all the way to Devon Street for the parade. Luckily, my friend Linda told me about a Natya dance performance right around the corner

Indian Clothes

August 7, 2014March 8, 2018 Chika Gujarathi

I am hard to shop for in general but especially when it comes to clothes. There are several unworn pieces in my closet as proof that many times even I can’t shop for myself. This explains my latest resolve to only buy clothes that fit a certain (humdrum) color scheme. So far

Travel – Ladakh, India

July 15, 2011December 29, 2016 Chika Gujarathi

I am interrupting my Friday OBAMA AND picture series today to share with you a picture show of Ladakh, India (and also because the White House photo stream needs to upload some more fun pictures). Ladakh is situated in India’s northern state of Jammu and Kashmir. The sparse landscape and political

Holiday decorating continues on with the cutest mini gingerbread house village. Thanks to @yellowdogbread and #mordecaihistoricpark Having the super best time at Mordecai Historic open house in Raleigh. You guys, I basically live across from this amazing historic home (oldest in Raleigh) and it's the first time we made it inside. Can't believe how beautiful everything is. Cookies, cider, crafts, storytime, cooking demos, scavenger hunt is making the kids super super happy!!! ♥️🎄

#raleigh #nchistory #raleighhistory #mordecaihistoricpark #mordecaihistorichome #holidaysinraleigh #downtownraleigh #downtownalliance Little things in life, like slicing the apple horizontally instead of vertically, make me very happy. ☺️🌈 @raleigh_jon thanks for a very special poinsettia delivery this morning! I am in love with the pink ones! I have desperately wanted to learn French for a long time, and in all those years, I have tried many things like group classes, personal tutoring, podcasts, Rosetta Stone, etc. Somehow though, life gets in the way and I find reasons to not stick with it. 😟 And then I forget everything I have learned and then start over. 
One of my goals for 2020 is to change that and really make this the year when I try my hardest and give it my all. I am restarting my daily @duolingo streak right now to make sure I get in the habit and when time and money allows, I want to restart the personal tutoring, and then finally when I feel confident enough to not screw up the pronunciations, to sign-up for a French speaking meet-up. I am nervous just typing this! 
There is a month long writing fellowship in Paris that I am eyeing for in the Fall to keep me extra motivated. So yeah, Universe, please be on my side this time. 
S'il vous plait. ♥️ Are you focusing on any lifelong goals in 2020? 
#duolingo #learnfrench #speakfrench #france #learnanewlanguage Anyone else a fan of Rose Jam Shower Gel from @lushcosmetics? That and their holiday gift boxes got me really excited today. It's the little things! 🥳🎄 Holiday card-writing essentials for a night owl: Whiskey on ice, Marvelous Mrs. Maizel season 3, santa stamps, your kids' green and red pens to handwrite every name and address in cursive, address book that you talk about replacing every year but just can't get rid of because it's basically like keeping history now, my @pinholepress holiday cards. 
Can't wait to get these babies in the mail to you. Happy Holidays! 💌 🎄

#happyholidays2019 #happyholidays #pinholepressholidaycards #familycards #raleighblogger #Raleigh #ncblogger #ncauthor #travelinspiration #travelspeaker Have you been inside the NC State Capitol in Raleigh? I was out for a run this past weekend and decided to take a little detour inside. Built in the Greek Revival style, it now houses the Governor's office and is a special treat for those interested in history and photography. December 12th is their holiday tree lighting event, in case you want to see it in all it's holiday glory. 🎄

What historic building in Raleigh gets you camera happy?
