Catch of the week

Ok, we're starting this new thing where we're gonna tell you guys about some of the awesome stuff we come across  :P

I really don't wanna brag but I'm an extreme shopaholic and don't really leave a place empty handed  :D
Esther says its a disgusting habit cos I end up buying stupid things like paper clips and multi- colored pens just for the heck if it when she believes the money should be saved for something more worth it or useful  O_o

Anyway, I'm dedicating a post every week to some of my awesomely useless finds  :D
Hope u guys enjoy it  :)

This week, I'd like to put up something I didn't buy!  :P  
A dear friend got this for me and personally I found it adorable  ^.^


Its basically made of thread with two little glass fish!!  :D  Its from Fabindia and costs somewhere around Rs. 235.

Well, Esther and I took this opportunity to shoot some crazy photographs! Here are some of the 'sensible' one  :D  :P



Okkk... I cant really seem to get this picture right side up so WHATEVER!!!! Esther is gonna HATE me for this!!!  ^.^   She basically had to squeeze into that tiny little space to capture some of the pictures  ^.^  








And that's about it  :D 
See you next week for another amazing find!
Toodles!!!

Fishy Talk ><.">

My dad and I had an interesting discussion today on aquarium fish  :) 

I recently developed my love for fish after visiting a pet store one day and emerging from with with a fighter fish in a plastic bag well hidden away in the sun hat I was supposed to be using  :P
I named him Percy and sadly, two months after that day, he died  :(  :(

Im pretty sure I inherited this love for fish from my dad. He used to love buying new fish, in particular, neon tetras and the gourami!!   :D

Now this gourami he owned had a particularly odd habit of swimming to the surface whenever my dad called his name and responded more to him than anyone else in the family! One day, my uncle happened to be on tank cleaning duty and as was the routine, he put the gourami into a bucket of water while he washed the tank.
Just then, my dad walked in to check on him but had hardly walked towards the bucket when my grandmother called out to him.
Meanwhile, the gourami, having heard his voice, swam to the surface once more and not seeing him there, resorted to other means ( in my opinion! ) 

He jumped out of the bucket and lay there till my dad found him... he died in my dads hands  :(  :(
Since then, dad has not even looked at another fish....
