Bangles Jewelry. The perfect fit for every wrist.

 Asian beauties are usually crazy for having lots of bangles  if they glass made, metallic, silver or gold. They love all. I personally like to collect more then to wear in actual on daily basis because it doesn't feel comfortable to carry them on regular basis. But i would prefer at least one standard size hand cuff, bracelets then having lots of glass made bangles.

Cultural Hub

Image
There are many cultural hubs almost every where in the world. It may be based on theaters presenting the cultural shows and dances, the restaurants serving the traditional food, café, book stores and museums etc. The cultural hub is basically a building or outlet that promotes culture and arts. Some times keeping traditional stuff on the display  I came across a few days back one such cultural hub,in the city of Abbotabad , facilitated privately by a group of persons. Here i found some handcrafted kundan Jewellery sets , fabrics, and ready to wear clothes. Apart from the traditional clothes there were certain traditional shoes on display. Locally these shoe are called as " KHUSA " made of leather. They were not locally made rather bought from Faisalabad as I have seen such designs there. Keeping in view the latest trends there were both western as well as eastern style of dresses on the display. I found the famous branded Burberry short shrugs in differen...

My pictures of M2 Motorway (Pakistan)

Image
M2 motorway connect Lahore with Islamabad and then eventually linking them with Peshawar. My most favorite spot at M2 is sure the most dangerous one too because it is located in the famous salt range "Khewra Salt Mine" . Probably it is the only motorway in the world that is located in longest salt range. The area where starts the small hilly rocks of "Kallar Kahar" is probably one of the finest and beautiful spot with natural beauty. At one spot is located the highest pillared bridge and is suppose to be the most expensive one in Asia.

In fact they were looking inspired from traditional peshawari chapal for men.

Beauty with heart

Image
        With lots of organic body care and hair products to beautify you and pamper you that is some thing natural beauty products, inspired by nature. They promise you to give with best organic and natural ingredients in their products and i found them smell really natural without putting any artificial fragrances.  As mother nature have a cure for every thing so today's beauty products are especially made keeping this in mind. Mineral make up's and other organic products are available in market. Usually we use pure things available in our kitchens like eggs yolk and white for hair and skin, yougurt mask for face for hairs etc but problem is that they all smell bad and its really difficult to spend even 10 minutes with them.  To avoid such messy stuff it's rather good to try these products available in market instead. I tried some of these and they feels good on skin. Hopefully to get back and try few more :) Just buy them f...

Afghan Carpets

Image
One of the shop i found of my interest at centaurus is Afghan Carpet. We usually found lots of beautiful carpets and rugs in the market that ranges from least 6,000 Rs to 5 lacs in most prices. In Pakistan most of them are suppose to be Afghan made but normally when you ask from shop keeper they will tell you that they are imported from Iran. May be the reason is that in Afghanistan due to unstable situation carpet weaving industry is not flourishing. At few places hand made rugs are weave by kids, women and men but they doesn't comes in markets on commercial level. One such Carpet shop i visited a year back at Peshawar near Karkhano market.
