Today, I have a guest on my blog from Dubai. Vineetha Ramchandran, born and brought up in Dubai, is a true blue Indian. She is also a Buddha lover and loves to surround herself with loads of colors, just like me. I believe that the “Law Of Attraction” worked, and we got acquainted on Instagram, and then she gave me a sneak peek inside her home, which I couldn’t resist sharing with you all. Recently, she took the plunge and started sharing delightful images of her abode on Instagram @The Gramophone Diaries.
This home tour was meant to go live a while ago, but creating content for my YouTube channel has been impacting my writing. Despite spending hours trying to write, I just couldn’t get anything done. So, I’ve decided to rekindle my passion for writing and aim to post at least 2-3 blogs each month moving forward.
I love how Vineetha has embraced colors with open arms and mixed them masterfully without making the place look overwhelming. Cool blue happily mingles with warm orange, and together, they create positive vibes and a cozy ambiance. Accent pieces range from vintage to modern and traditional to contemporary. One such vintage piece placed on the rug can’t go unnoticed.
Further, Vineetha adds, “I respect minimalism, but it is definitely not my cup of tea (as you can probably tell :D). More is more, and less is boring 😀 Hence, everything at home is what I call collected clutter.”
“I am obsessed with colors. I have a thing for quirky and kitsch stuff, and it runs across my house. I am not a huge fan of mass retail furniture homes and prefer to collect my accents when I travel. I believe every home needs to tell a story, and mine is that of an eclectic, enchanted abode.”
I can’t agree more with Vineetha. When it comes to decorating a home, we should showcase our personalities.

Vineetha enthusiastically says, “I am supremely fond of Buddhas. I have about 7 just in my living room”.
And why not? When your life is too busy and contributing to yang energy, then it is important to bring peace, as calm yin energy will balance the active yang energy. Buddha is synonymous with tranquillity; hence, placing Buddha can create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
You can easily breathe new life into your space simply by placing beautiful cushions on the couch. Vineetha knows this trick well and says, “I really go and invest in my cushions. I check online, I look for unique pieces when I travel. I like statement cushions or cushions with a story.”
That’s all, dear readers! I hope you enjoyed this post after such a long gap.

January ki yaadon ka pitara. The very first day of the new year began with lots of fun and adventurous activities. It felt like reliving my childhood, filling me with positive energy and enthusiasm. The second week of the month brought an opportunity I had never even dreamt of. My son's hard work earned us the chance to attend a prestigious and memorable event in New Delhi, celebrating the 150th foundation day of the India Meteorological Department. The highlight of the event was the presence of the Honourable Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. Another unforgettable moment was exploring Bharat Mandapam and admiring its grandeur. Though Delhi was freezing cold at the time, and I faced some health issues, overall, it was an incredible trip. The last week of January was spent at home, relaxing and enjoying my favorite activities—painting and upcycling. Mold had ruined my sneakers, so I painted them, giving them a new lease on life. That sums up my eventful January. Now, I am ready to create beautiful and cherished memories in February! #January #januaryroundup #memories #instagood
2024 has been an eventful year! I'm looking forward to learning more skills in 2025. In 2000, I was in an accident while driving my father's car and developed amaxophobia. I couldn’t drive after that, no matter how hard I tried. This year, I was determined and adamant about overcoming this fear. And yes, I did it! :) I was so busy with work and family that I couldn’t find time for my hobbies. But this year, I resolved to prioritize myself and revisit my hobbies. I learned watercolor and plein air painting—and yes, I did it! :) Learning new skills is my favorite thing to do, and 2024 was no different. I not only learned bookbinding and created many sketchbooks and journals, but I also experimented with different binding styles. Yes, I did it! :) It’s not just about learning new skills—I strive to perfect them. This year, I mastered candle-making and even created an informative course on it. I’m proud to share that some of my learners now run their own small candle-making businesses. Yes, I did it! :) I want to learn as many languages as I can in this lifetime. I’ve been learning a language for the past two years, but this year, I made considerable progress. All thanks to @duolingo and @duolingo_india, it was so convenient to learn a new language from the comfort of my home, anytime I wanted. Yes, I did it! :) By the way, can you guess which language I learned? Wishing you all a very Happy 2025! May the new year bring you growth, learning, and achievements. English translation of the slide 9 Hi, I am Disha. I love learning new skills. This year I learned a little bit of french. So, I will sing a french song, let me know how it was. Swipe to listen to the song. Slide 10 song - La vie en rose #2024 #2025 #achievements #learnings #NewYear #recap2024 #newskills
On my last trip to my parents' place, I gifted my mom a kurti set similar to mine, but in a different color. Since we were twinning, I thought it would be fun to get some pictures taken. While posing for the camera, we looked into each other's eyes, smiling continuously, until we couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst into laughter. We laughed together until our stomachs started to hurt. Some of these shots turned out candid, and they’re etched in my memory because it had been so long since my mom and I laughed like that together. I’m going to cherish these moments for the rest of my life. . #momdaughter #momdaughterdress #momdaughterlove #lovemylife #smalljoys
