SAME GIRL HTTP://THISISSHEENA.COM
Sunless days, making me wonder what I actually like about Bombay. Maybe these pockets of delight. Mostly Colaba, but some Bandra and elsewhere. Le Mill is an expansive, expensive concept store in the...
I live a minute away from Ranwar Village and I found this beautiful watercolour of it and had to share. On Saturday, I’m going on a heritage walk of the nearby neighbourhood as well as Chimbai ...
Is a magical place. We could have spent a week in the quaint spiritual town but unfortunately, we had one night. I think I may have been the happiest I have ever been in Omkareshwar. We walked throug...
My friend Shivraj, who is generally just rad and brilliant, has been making things with his hands. His postman wallet is a genius invention and I use the shit out of mine. It’s a wallet for art...
Oh my goodness. I’m in love with Bandra Girl.
How did nobody inform me that Sheena: Queen of the Jungle had such bomb ass cover art? All my life I’ve been rolling my eyes when people called me that and now I’m wondering what the hell...
Ran the photo booth at the Bandra Block Party on Sunday. So many lovely, quirky characters in the vicinity. Such good sports. Special thank you to my borrowed bedroom curtains for being the best back...
I’ve been recycling. Stolen designer drink bottles make beautiful vases to stolen wedding flower arrangements. One happy criminal window sill.
Spent last weekend with these two beautiful, hilarious boys at the Yacht Club, a strong contender for one of my favourite buildings in Bombay, the others being Buckley Court, Birla House and Sarkar H...
I’ve often gone past the woodcarving workshops on that long Mahim strip, taking mental note that I should one day visit, be inquisitive and take photographs of their fussy, intricate furniture ...
In my gap year (six years ago), I knitted everybody I knew reasonably futile objects. Found out somebody still uses my card holder and took a photo for evidence. Booyah.
I love saris. I wish I could wear them everyday like my grandmother did. I went to exactly one show at (Lakme India) Fashion Week, the Shantanu and Nikhil show where I saw and lusted over this one. H...
Another saweet thing about Bandra is these parties. The second edition of Grime Riot Disco is this Friday, March 25th at Bollywood Mischief, Hill Road and features DJ Ruskin and Bandish Projekt who w...
I love you, Bandra. I love your Portuguese influence, I love your villages and your Goan grannies who get their skirt suits “stitched” and your tiny stalls set up in verandahs selling ho...
Please throw rocks at me if I do not finish the five books I have started by the end of April. This is a public appeal to save what little literacy skills I have before I turn into a poorly read, bum...
Hibernated with my favourite person and watched this feature film yesterday. Sita Sings the Blues is an animated retelling of the Ramayana by the extra-talented-and-I-am-now-in -awe-of Nina Paley who ...
My girl Amrita’s work is now on the cover of Time Out magazine. A detailed and fantastically bizarre illustration adorns the Mumbai edition this month, and the Delhi edition last. And she̵...
Talented Rhett Dashwood at Melbourne’s Wade Studios which produces some fantastic creative work made a weird little mirror music video for kicks. I’m in it at some point. Whee. So much fu...
I had been waiting so long for the new Deck of Secrets to be released and it’s out, it’s out! Not only is it out, I have my own copy! My photograph of a messy plate is the cover of the br...
My favourite person in the world Teva is on the cover of Pedal Speed this month. A Japanese magazine dedicated to bicycles and riding, particularly fixed gear and BMX bikes or whatever’s taken ...
The nine day Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Bombay just ended and it was a treat. Jampacked with art and activities, the historic arts precinct Kala Ghoda really puts on a show. Rampart Row is pedestria...
I wrote about Kala Ghoda Cafe on my food blog, and had to mention Obataimu, the gorgeous pop up menswear store behind it. ‘It’s like being back in Melbourne’, I thought when as I en...
Rather happy with some wispy, pink, abstract old people’s art I made. Although I’ve been taking close ups for food for years now, this is my first proper foray into macro fine art photogr...
For the last few weeks, I’ve been hanging out at my food blog Bowls of Shtoof writing about well, food, as Soph probably best describes it – through experiences not ingredients. Right now...
No time to explain, cos I’m in the middle of dancing to holy-jaysus-the-best-remix-of- all-time, Billie Chikku which is what you get when you mash up Michael Jackson with A. R. Rahman. Rahman No...
I’m not one for talking or hearing bumper sticker, but it seems I love post-it notes left to their fate in public places. Shaheen linked me to this ace blog Things We Forget by this anonymous S...
Love that two of my favourite labels Missoni and Prada have such fun, spirited campaign videos for their festive new season collections. No vacant stares and insipid poses to be found.
Pondicherry This is such an interesting piece, and the detail gets lost in the smaller image so click to enlarge. Love the style and love that the artists painted the tree for continuity. Melbourne T...
