Lessons from Madame Chic

An excellent book. One which I reread once in a while. I'm intrigued by the mysterious Madame Chic. Truth be told, there are such ladies all over the world. There are quite a few ladies in my acquaintance who are very polished and classy. In our families too, furniture is maintained for generations - Ikea is nearly unknown. Household purchases are limited to fresh ingredients for cooking, clothing during special occasions and repair works. Also in most households, food is made from scratch - though that's fast changing in urban locales. I love recognising the old world charm of such attitudes halfway across the globe. Also it motivates me anew to be a better person everyday.
