museum and sushi

The Kiran Nadar Museum of Art is the eponymous private museum of Kiran Nadar, established to showcase select works from her collection. It was housed in a random part of a shopping mall and took us almost 30 minutes to find the museum (even the information desk didn't seem to be too helpful). But the hassle was well worth it! Here are some pics I sneaked when the security guards weren't looking...


We were so happy when we finally saw this sign

Subodh Gupta's Line of Control. This photo does not do the work justice!

The museum outing left us a bit famished, so instead of our usual room service and watching TV routine we decided to head out for dinner. I had a necessary sushi fix at Delhi's most popular Japanese restaurant, Wasabi by Morimoto. The restaurant is located on the bottom floor of a hotel and the interior was modern and 'clubby'.

Most importantly, the food was delicious!

oysters that my sister loved! the oysters are actually sitting on beds of salt.

So far my vacation in India has been almost too relaxing (if that is even possible!?). Tomorrow's plan is a morning yoga workout and spending the entire day lounging by the pool--please don't make me ever leave here!

Damien Hirst Inspired

An accessories take on controversial British artist, Damien Hirst. The Tate Modern is currently having an exhibition on Hirst, whose 'spot paintings' are iconic in the contemporary art world. Not exactly sure how I feel about the artist, but I do love earrings!
