Photo 1: This is the sweetest little flower shop we stumbled upon last weekend when we were exploring the neighborhood. . . I'm always trying new things in the hope of acquiring a new skill, but not in my wildest dreams had I thought gardening would be one of them. . . My most recent hobby is gardening. It's something I've been actively pursuing for over a year now. This again goes back to my love for the outside. Back home in India we live on the first floor of a mundane building and have a balcony. It's small but we put a coffee table and two chairs. The view is boring. All you can see is another building. . . I loved having my morning coffee there but hated that all I had is a depressing building for a view. I was determined to change that morbid atmosphere to something I could enjoy. . . I bought plants. 6 of them. Tulsi, curry leaf, lemon grass and three common flowering ones. My only job was to water them. I did so diligently. Even then one of them died. ( Over watering I think 😂) . . One day as I sat in my small balcony with 6 plants eating an orange I wondered how it would be to grow oranges. That's it. I youtubed a video cleaned up my orange seeds and germinated them. 3 weeks later we had orange plants growing in our balcony. . . Photo 2: With some difficulty I've managed to find space for plants in our tiny ass apartment here in Chicago and together with @shantanu.raghav we now grow our own mint, oregano, curry leaf, jade and a Hawaiian Schefflera. . . . . . . .
7 months of being married to @shantanu.raghav today 🤩✨🥳 it hasn't been that long but it sure as hell feels like a lifetime. . . Its funny because we barely knew each other last year this time and today I feel like I wish someone told me this was the one for me earlier so that I could stop worrying! 😂 . . . On that note I'm just thankful for how everything has turned out. It's true what they say - what's yours will always come to you. You just have to be patient and enjoy the journey! . . . Happy 7 months to us 😍♥️🤗🤩✨🥳I love you😘
It's times like this when I feel the need to have a super fancy camera. I can't believe all three of them literally just stared at my camera and gave me the most synchronized zen look! 😂 . . I was reading something about elks and came across an article where they said that male elks known as bulbs live up to 5 years but female elks can survive up to 20 years and get almost bulletproof with age. They move faster, get wiser and almost always find a way to avoid humans and hunters. Amazing isn't it? . . . . . . #hiking #naturephotography #wildgeography #wildlife_vision #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifeshots #wildlifeofinstagram #wildlife_captures #wildlifeperfection #wildlife_seekers #mammalsofinstagram #elks #naturelovers #hikewyoming #hiking_in_space #nps #nationalparksusa #nationalpark #yellowstoneforever #yellowstonenationalpark #grandtetonnationalpark #grandteton #grandtetons #tetonisoriginal #travelgrammers #wildlifephoto
I don't know what I'd do without my weekend adventures. In the last three years it's become a way of life for me. I started these when I was in India and fed up of being in a city, no matter how many friends I made. . . I've somehow managed to do this every single weekend since 2015. I pick trails, picnic spots, hikes, biking routes, camping spots, places that are hard to reach, or those that not many have heard of! Absolutely anything and everything that's away from traffic and stupid buildings. . . What I enjoy the most about these trips is the little things- finding a way through a trail to reach a viewpoint, being able to see the sunset, walks in forests and being surrounded by nothing but green, the sand on the beach, the wind in my hair, all the weird creepy crawlies in the grass, being tired after a hike, and the gorgeous views all along be it sunny, rainy, summery, wintery, a shit storm 😂 nothing beats the beauty of nature and being able to see all the things we see outside! . . . . . . . . .
