“How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are: Love, Style, and Bad Habits” ー Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, Sophie Mas ———————————————————————— “From four stunning and accomplished French women--at last--a fresh and spirited take on what it really means to be a Parisienne: how they dress, entertain, have fun and attempt to behave themselves. In short, frisky sections, these Parisian women give you their very original views on style, beauty, culture, attitude and men. The authors--Anne Berest, Audrey Diwan, Caroline de Maigret, and Sophie Mas--unmarried but attached, with children--have been friends for years. Talented bohemian iconoclasts with careers in the worlds of music, film, fashion and publishing, they are untypically frank and outspoken as they debunk the myths about what it means to be a French woman today. Letting you in on their secrets and flaws, they also make fun of their complicated, often contradictory feelings and behavior. They admit to being snobs, a bit self-centered, unpredictable but not unreliable. Bossy and opinionated, they are also tender and romantic. You will be taken on a first date, to a party, to some favorite haunts in Paris, to the countryside, and to one of their dinners at home with recipes even you could do -- but to be out with them is to be in for some mischief and surprises. They will tell you how to be mysterious and sensual, look natural, make your boyfriend jealous, and how they feel about children, weddings and going to the gym. And they will share their address book in Paris for where to go: At the End of the Night, for A Birthday, for a Smart Date, for a A Hangover, for Vintage Finds and much more. How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are will make you laugh as you slip into their shoes to become bold and free and tap into your inner cool.” ———————————————————————— Available: epub, pdf Goodreads: 3.61 / 5 #freeEbook #parisian #HowTobeParisianWhereverYouAre

I entered the City Palace of Jaipur through Rajendra Pol which took me to another large courtyard called Diwan-i-khas Chowk. In ancient times this was the place for private audiences while attending any royal procession. Today the hall has been renamed to Sarbato Bhadra. There are two large silver urns that have made it to the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest silver objects in the world. . 📍सिटी पैलेस, जयपुर, राजस्थान (City Palace, Jaipur, Rajashtan) 🇮🇳 . . . . . . . . . . . #instatravel #traveler #globetrotter #nofilter #tflers #instadaily #photoodtheday #POTD #igersmy #igersmalaysia #travel3sixty #airasia #cntraveler #lonelyplanet #wanderlust #passionpassport #vsco #vscogood #projectvacation #nationalgeographic #traveldeeper #incredible_india #india #lovequotes #love #travelphotography #traveladdict #rajasthan #history #jaipur

Merantaulah... Orang berilmu dan beradab tidak akan diam di kampung halaman. Tinggalkan negerimu dan merantaulah ke negeri orang. Tinggalkanlah tanahair dan mengembaralah. Bermusafirlah, nescaya kamu akan mendapat ganti kepada orang yang telah kamu tinggalkan. Berlelah-lelahlah, manisnya hidup terasa setelah lelah berjuang Aku melihat air menjadi rusak karena diam tertahan. Jika mengalir menjadi jernih, jika tidak, akan keruh menggenang. Singa jika tak tinggalkan sarang, tak akan dapat mangsa. Anak panah jika tak tinggalkan busur, tak akan kena sasaran. Jika matahari di orbitnya tak bergerak dan terus diam. Tentu manusia bosan padanya dan enggan memandang. Bijih emas bagaikan tanah biasa sebelum digali dari tambang. Kayu gaharu tak ubahnya seperti kayu biasa jika di dalam hutan. Jika engkau tinggalkan tempat kelahiranmu, engkau akan temui darjat mulia di tempat yang baru dan engkau bagaikan emas yang sudah terangkat dari tempatnya. Pergilah merantau untuk mencari kemuliaan karena dalam perjalanan itu ada lima kegunaan, iaitu: menghilangkan kesedihan, mendapatkan penghidupan, mendapatkan ilmu, mengagungkan jiwa, dan dapat bergaul dengan banyak orang. ─ Imam Syafie (Diwan as Syafiie)
