POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This was one big secret that I carried with me for more than a month!!

I wanted to surprise them and their reaction says it all!!

Both of my siblings could not believe that I hid this fact of buying phones for them from them😂
Big small whatever topic it is, I share with them and truly it was very difficult for me to hide it from them!

Also both of them later told me - that they would have dressed nicely only if they knew they are going to recieve an iPhone 17 pro as gift while I was recording as well!!

9 years back when my passport was issued, I NEVER thought that 1 day it would be full of stamps (even before it's expiry😅) and my life would be so colorful with all the experiences🫶🏼

Life has been fair to me!
I still remember the young girl who had lost the power to dream is now aiming for new heights everyday!

This is my life and I chose to write it the way I always wanted♥️

All you need to know about traveling to Russia🤌🏻

Honestly, it is super difficult and exhausting to plan trip to Russia as the flights are not listed on any website and needs to be directly booked with Russian airlines. But this is not it! We can’t even use our Visa or Mastercard for bookings!! We need to connect with customer care service and follow the process and book!

But honestly, all these efforts are worth!
Russia is once in a lifetime experience - from extreme temperatures to chasing Northern Lights, to witnessing the Winter Wonderland, sailing in Arctic Ocean, dancing in Snow - It was just surreal♥️♥️

Our total cost of Russia Trip was 90K INR per person and this includes flights, stay, food, tours, local travel and all the extra shopping cost.

[Russia, Moscow, Murmansk, Northern Lights, Aurora Borealis, Arctic Ocean, Saint Petersburg, Churches]

POV: You wake up at 6 AM, drive 1.5 hours for the prettiest fall colours 🍁… only for the clouds to give you a personal tour of NOTHING. 😭😂

Us: Let’s go see the stunning fall views at Dorset Lookout! 🥹🍂
Mother Nature: Best I can do is 0 visibility and a free fog experience. 🌫️💀

The fall colours were there… somewhere. We just needed faith, not binoculars. 😂🤡

But honestly, the best part of a trip is the people you get lost in the fog with. ❤️🍁

Have you ever travelled all the way somewhere just for the weather to absolutely humble you? 😂👇

Ever wondered what it feels like to jump into a sea of cranberries? 🍒🇨🇦

We tried the Cranberry Plunge at Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery in Bala, Ontario - and yes, you actually get to step right into a cranberry bog filled with floating cranberries! ❤️

Cranberry bogs are flooded during harvest to help the ripe berries float to the surface, making them easier to collect. And at the Cranberry Plunge, you get to experience this unique sight up close — with the bonus of getting some seriously fun pictures and memories!

📍 Muskoka Lakes Farm & Winery, Bala, Ontario
🍒 A unique seasonal experience in Muskoka
💡 Tip: Check the farm’s official website for plunge dates, reservations, and what to wear before visiting.

Would you jump into a cranberry bog, or would you rather admire it from the sidelines? 😂👇

When you were born, I wondered if I would ever be able to bond with you, if we would ever be close enough to share a world of our own.

Your initial years went by with me loving you from a distance. We never really got to grow up together, but somewhere along the way, as you grew, a part of me began to heal too. Something in my heart slowly found peace, and I didn’t even realise when you became my solace. ❤️

When I finally got to live with you, I found a home in you.

Today, you’re not just my little sister. You’re my best friend, my confidant, my safe space - the one person I know will never judge me, no matter which version of myself I show up as.

Sometimes I wonder what my life would look like if you weren’t a part of it. And honestly, I can’t imagine it. Life feels so much more beautiful, so much more blessed, with you in it.

I want to show you the world. I want you to experience all the beautiful things life has to offer, chase every dream, make mistakes, find yourself, and always know that no matter where life takes you, you will always have me.

Today, you turn 18. And while the world might see you as a grown-up, a part of me will always see my little girl.

Maybe we didn’t get all those years of growing up together, but I’m so grateful we found our way to each other.

If I could choose a thousand times, in a thousand different lifetimes, I’d still choose a life with you in it.

Happy 18th birthday to the girl who became my home, my healing, and one of the biggest blessings of my life. I love you more than words will ever be enough to say 🥹❤️ by @anujab24

Ghum le behen, kyunki “phir kab jayenge?” bolke zindagi rukne wali nahi hai. 😂✈️

Aaj mountains dekhne hain, kal kisi naye city ki galiyon mein ghoomna hai, parso kisi random café ka food try karna hai… aur beech mein thoda sa “responsible adult” banne ka drama bhi kar lenge. 😂

Because honestly, life mein responsibilities toh hamesha rahengi.
EMIs, work, deadlines, family plans… sab apni jagah.

But yeh travelling wale sapne postpone karte karte kahin life hi postpone na ho jaye. 🥹

So haan, ghoomungi.
Jitna ho sake, jitna afford kar sakun, jitna life allow kare.

Marna toh ek din hai… tab tak duniya dekh lete hain. 🌍❤️

Ab batao - tumhari travel bucket list mein sabse upar kya hai? 👀✈️

POV: You waited all year for fall… and Ontario decided to show off. 🍁😭

Red trees. Golden roads. Crisp air. And that feeling of wanting to stop the car every 5 minutes just to take another picture. 🧡

Algonquin in peak fall colours is THAT kind of beautiful - the kind that makes you forget you’re only a few hours away from the city.

Honestly, if you’re in Ontario during fall, this one belongs on your list. 🍂

Jordan - All you need to know!!

Day 0 - We arrived in Amman and our adventure started from the next day. Before I start with the details, it will be easier and important for you to buy the Jordan Pass which costs around 70 JOD.
This pass covers your visa fees cost, entry fee for Petra, Amman Citadel and is certainly beneficial!!

Day 1 - Started with visiting the Dead Sea - where no one can drown!!
Evening we went around the Rainbow Street and one should definitely not miss eating at the oldest restaurant in Jordan - Hasheems

Day 2 - Visit Amman Citadel, Amphitheater (entry is free if you have bought the Jordan Pass)
In the evening catch bus to Aqaba (₹1200pp)

Day 3 - Early morning go for an adventurous Scuba Dive in Red Sea, Aqaba (₹3000 pp)
In the afternoon we booked a private vehicle to go Wadi Rum (₹5k one way)
Enjoyed the unique Train Ride which was loaded with drama to showcase history of Jordan, enjoyed stargazing and Bedouin Cuisine which is cooked underground literally!!

Day 4 - Enjoy the Mars like landscape of Wadi Rum through Jeep Safari (₹6000 pp, this includes stay in the middle of the Wadi)
Evening head to Petra via private vehicle (₹8000 one way)

Day 5 - Wonder of the World - Petra Day tour (free with Jordan Pass), it will atleast take 7-8 hours to tour the entire place

Day 6 - Flight back to India

Have any questions?? Shoot!
