bangles...bangles...everywhere

If I had to choose one piece of jewelry that I would like to wear till rest of my life, would be bangles.

There are so many types of them, colorful and that jingly sound when you walk is just what I love.
Bangles not only look gorgeous and are just simply a decoration on women's wrists but in Indian culture bangles can have special spiritual meanings.
It is said that a married woman should not walk around with bare hands. Bangles bring luck.
That piece of jewelry is especially important for a future Indian bride. Depending on the region in India, the type, amount of bangles and their symbol differ.

In Maharashtra region, a bride wears green glass bangles with golden ones. They should be worn in odd numbers and in different numbers on both hands, for example 9 on one hand and 11 on the other.
Wearing bangles should bring good luck to the married couple, good health to the husband, protect from the bad energy and many many more.

I find them amazingly beautiful and wear always some pieces as everyday jewelry. 
What do you think about bangles?


Inspirations

Maharashtra style bride - bangles

One small set from my collection:

It all began with halwa...

This is halwa, precisely carrot halwa or gajar ka halwa - one of my favorite desserts.

carrot halwa - taken at Ashoka restaurant, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan

                                             

For a long time I did not know about its existence, like back then probably many people around me, but when I tasted it, it has become one of the best, with its simplicity, sweets I ever tried!

Indian desserts in my opinion are not appreciated enough, and there is such variety of them. 
They are delicious and colorful, just like India.

And with India, with India I am bound by its culture, songs, designs, food, friends...and husband...

I am not an expert, not at all but here I want to share that colorful India, through all mix, that for me as a"gori" girl, is interesting; Indian beauty secrets and habits, cosmetics, movies, actors, pop culture, Bollywood and simply desi lifestyle.

I hope you will enjoy it!

Gajar ka halwa czyli marchewkowa halwa jest jednym z moich ulubionych deserow.
Przez dlugi czas nie wiedzialam o jej istnieniu, az jednego dnia dane mi bylo sprobowac i pokochalam ten smaczny, a prosty w przygotowaniu deser.
Desery indyjskie moim zdaniem nie sa doceniane na tyle na ile zasluguja, a jest ich tak duzo; przepyszne i kolorowe, tak jak Indie.
Z indiami laczy mnie duzo; kultura, piosenki, design, jedzenie, przyjaciele i maz...
Chcialabym tutaj podzielic sie tymi kolorowymi Indiami, tym co dla mnie jest interesujace: indyjskie sekrety urody, kosmetyki, kultura pop, Bollywood, po prostu zycie desi.
Mam nadzieje, ze Was zainteresuje!
