If you smile at me, I will understand because that is something everyone, everywhere does in the same language.
And so powerful was this peaceful, flowing rebellion that its aftershocks can be felt even today. The vagaries of a capitalistic world are tormenting...you just have to run away from the scathing realism sometimes and be one with the environment and find out your true self.
i do my thing an you do yours. i am not in this world to live up to your expectations and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and i am i, and if by chance we find each other...it is beautiful.

A throwback of the youth movement of the 60s, there are still many rolling stones who roll with the flow and take life as it comes. Call it bohemian-chic or just hippie...the 60s are one of my favourite era to be re-born into.
I believe there were two major points of this movement. One was to create- be it babies or clothes or music or fashion. It is refreshing to see another's art creation and to admire it. Sadly there are very few DIY fashionistas in the bloggersphere, with the majority just retail clones of each other. The second is isn't it easier to just freely love the person you hate, hold no grudges than to wake up every morning and make vicious schemes to bring them down? It is just this thought that inspires my Bohemia look.

There was a time when i was tired of my overt rebellion during the teenage years and adopted this grungy, 'Yo Peace' kind of style towards everything. Though those days of not taking baths, tie dye dresses and noisy jangling bracelets are long gone, the hippie inside me stays. There are many sorrowful and pitiable lives out there who are so caught up in conforming to the world's customs and bringing others down. Ignore them and smile at their small, unimaginative lives, they will never see or do anything new...pity them and carry on.
