2017 — ♾️

You were there for the good days, the bad ones, the crazy ones, the quiet ones. You were there as we grew, changed, celebrated, struggled, fell in love, got our hearts broken and found our way through life.

You were there through so many of the family's milestones and ups and downs. Through our best moments and some of our hardest ones. And through it all, you were our constant.

For us, you weren't just a dog. You were family. You were a brother. You were a little piece of happiness that was always there waiting for us.

And then there were all the little things that made you you 😜

Your love for Balehannu and eggs. Your absolute obsession with getting a back massage. That game where you would grab the belt with your teeth and pull with all your might. Jumping on the sofa like you owned the damn thing and demanding attention. And, of course, that ultimate Thumka-level walking style that nobody could ever forget😂🤍

You had this incredible way of getting attached to people and making them feel like they were your people. And watching you build that bond with everyone was nothing short of magical. 🎇

There are so many people who loved you, cared for you and had a special place for you in their hearts. A very, very long list of people who are going to miss you terribly.

We wish we had more time. More walks. More cuddles. More stupid pictures. More sofa takeovers. More of your crazy little habits that we probably took for granted.

Thank you for 9 beautiful years, Whiskey. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for loving us exactly as we were.

You were, and always will be, one of the best things that ever happened to us.

Run free, boy 🐾🤍

Thank you Amma @veenadatar123 for being one of my biggest supporters and of course, the self-assumed boss of the house👀😂❤️

Happy Happy Birthday 🥳 Here’s to more laughter, more memories, and many more years of you keeping all of us in line, whether we asked for it or not😂🫶🏻

Love you always❤️✨

👀 Kathmandu has more faces than you realise.

Beyond its iconic temples and bustling streets lies a city full of expressions—hidden in ancient doors, intricate woodwork, weathered carvings and centuries-old sculptures.

These aren't just pieces of architecture; they're stories, craftsmanship and history carved into every corner.

These are some of the faces I discovered while wandering through Kathmandu. 🇳🇵🎭

Shot on my @vivo_india X300 Pro, the level of detail, textures and colours made every frame a joy to capture. 📸✨

Which face caught your eye first? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Some travel days stay with you for the views and experience. Some for the people you meet on the way. This was both. Anniversary on the trail, and the kindest stranger turned it into a memory we get to keep. Thank you @arijitadhikary_photography for these 🥹🏔️ 🪄

Some journeys become bigger than the destination itself❤️🏔️

As @royalchallengers.bengaluru reached another IPL final, I found myself thinking about a special moment from my recent Nepal trip — standing at Mardi Himal View Point, wearing the RCB jersey with pride in front of the majestic Annapurna range. 🇳🇵🏏

At 13,000+ feet, tired after hours of trekking and surrounded by silence, snow, and mountains… one thing still felt constant — being an RCB fan❤️

People often ask why we continue supporting this team after all these years. But being an RCB fan was never just about trophies. It’s about loyalty, hope, emotions, and growing up with this team through every high and low.

Somehow, standing there in front of the Himalayas felt symbolic. The mountains reminded me of this fanbase — resilient, passionate, and always standing tall no matter how many storms come our way.

Another final. Another chance. Another season of belief. ✨

No matter what happens next, thank you RCB for yet another memorable season.

Always ❤️💛

Not a new face, just a new lens 👀☀️

You’ve seen the travels, the stories, the chaos before…

But this? This is a little more intentional.

Less “look where I went” More “this is actually worth your time.”

Good places. Good experiences. Good finds. No gatekeeping 🧿

From hidden cafés to stays, trips, food spots, experiences & everything in between — if it makes it here, it stayed with me.

Building this version of @diariesofdatv one solid recommendation at a time 💚

And yes… only the places, moments & experiences I’d genuinely go back to.

If you like discovering things before everyone else, you know where to go 👇

Somewhere between his social energy and my low social battery, we keep finding ourselves on another trip, another coffee, and another new experience.

World Wildlife Day 2026 — we’re a little late to post this, but the moments we experienced are still fresh.

There’s something powerful about seeing wildlife in its natural rhythm — not in cages, not on screens, but in the wild where it truly belongs. When forests thrive, we thrive. When wildlife survives, ecosystems stay strong. It’s all connected in ways we often don’t pause to think about.

Being there reminds you of one simple thing — this is their world first. We’re just lucky to witness it. The least we can do is respect the space and learn to #Coexist.

Also, credits to @googlepixel and @vivo_india for building technologies that allows us to capture such raw, real moments straight from our phones. The fact that we can document the wild with this level of detail is incredible.

Comment below 👇🏻 Which shot did you like the most 👀??
