Kalpa – The Seraphic Hilly Hamlet

We reached Kalpa after a bone breaking journey of 2 and half hours via the rugged road from Sangla. In the 1st look Kalpa looked like a land straight out...

Sauna and Hot tub with a view - Yes please 💜. A

Sauna and Hot tub with a view - Yes please 💜. And it gets more interesting as this whole thing is on a boat. Yes, that's right 🤗Do not miss this if you visit Tromso in Winter, because Tromso's saunas are really really special. Both it's saunas are near the harbour and provide direct access to the sea for a cold plunge. I was not brave enough, so I had to manage with a quick butt dip 😄, that too because our sauna mates kept cheering for me. Anyway, it was a lovely day, especially because it was raining and super cold and the traditional wood fired sauna felt so inviting, with some amazing travelers for company and sharing stories.The one we chose was Vulcana Spa and it has a sauna and Turkish Hammam on the boat as well as a hot tub on the deck.

Finland in Winter...💜

Finland in Winter...💜

This was at #kilpisjärvi in #finland . We stayed

This was at #kilpisjärvi in #finland . We stayed in the #glassigloo at #tundreaholidayresort and at night the sky came alive when the northern lights started dancing gracefully in the moonlit sky. And what better than enjoying this special show from the comfort of our room!Did you know kilpisjärvi is one place in Finland where Northern Lights can be seen 75% of the nights? And you don't even have to take a tour for that.

Living one dream at a time...or shall we say many

Living one dream at a time...or shall we say many dreams? 💖 Because our recent trip to Norway and Finland felt exactly like a dream, where every little thing we ever wished came true and turned this into a trip of a lifetime 💜🤗I truly do not have words to tell you how many magical moments happened in these 2 weeks, some of them absolutely unexpected. From seeing the most amazing aurora 3 times to floating on a frozen fjord, being awed by the unreal landscapes to witnessing snowfall every other day, meeting the cutest reindeer to spending hours in a sauna when it was -10 degrees outside - everything was just perfect!Like our parents and family said, our pictures looked like they were from a different world and they were so proud and happy that their kids could see the world they never even imagined existed somewhere ❤️🥺. Our hearts are full and we are still trying to process everything that happened. Till then here is a little glimpse for you....Pic 1 to 8 and 10 - Norway
Pic 9 and 11 to 14 - Finland

The Love I Know 💜👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨O

The Love I Know 💜👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨On this Valentine’s Day, when love is everywhere, wrapped in roses and celebrated in grand gestures - let me tell you about the love I know, a love where its all about the little things that truly matter🤗.💕 When he was away on a business trip, I got a message early in the morning. "You would have loved this breakfast spread. All your favourite dishes and desserts are here. I miss you so much.” I could not stop tears welling up in my eyes.💕💕Someone who was never drawn to flowers, one day returns home with a picture of a Gulmohar tree in full bloom. “This reminded me of you,” he says, “how happy you would have been seeing this.” And my heart swelled with pride.💕💕Once I mentioned missing the tea I had in Tawang. And he spent days scouring recipes, experimenting, perfecting it - to bring back that taste, that memory, just to see me smile.💕💕Every time we go for a drive, he never forgets to ask if I’m comfortable, if the speed is okay. because, in his words, "We got this car so you could enjoy our drives without worrying about anything."💕 💕An introvert who finds words difficult, yet always finds a way to express his love. Whether it’s greeting me at the airport with a bouquet, making my favourite dishes at home, or cracking the silliest jokes just to brighten a bad day.💕 💕And after more than 11 years of marriage, romance is still found in quiet walks beneath the moon and stars. The simple act of sharing tea each day still holds a kind of magic, and our hearts continue to understand each other - even in the silence of words.💕The love I know is not just about passion, but about presence.
It is found in the way we are seen, heard, and held.
It is respect, partnership, and unwavering support.
And sometimes its about play fights and being goofy together 🥰So, on this Valentine’s Day, I hope you find a love that makes your heart swell with joy. A love that turns ordinary days into something magical, becomes your beacon when you feel lost, and gives you the safe space to be your truest self. A love that wraps you in its warmth and gives you endless reasons to smile brighter. Happy Valentine's Day folks❤️

An ode to the birds of Nandi Hills - A glimpse of the magic that keeps calling us back ✨💜. And what better day to post this than the day after International Birds Day.Nandi Hills may have begun as a simple sunrise destination for us. But our staycation there during the Covid lockdown unveiled a hidden side of this place we had never noticed before. With no crowds and an abundance of time to soak in the surroundings, we discovered the vibrant avian life that calls this hilltop home.Birds of every shape and colour perched on bushes, trees, and pathways, filling the air with their melodious songs and bringing the entire landscape to life. While watching and photographing them, we developed a deep appreciation for their intelligence and beauty. And this was just the beginning.....Now, on every visit we eagerly spend hours spotting and photographing these feathered wonders, as morning melts into afternoon and afternoon fades into evening. It seems birdwatching has a way of becoming irresistibly addictive ☺️Here are a few pictures from our recent year end trip to #nandihills1. Indian Paradise Flycatcher

Happy New Year Everyone ✨🎊.A day late, but

Happy New Year Everyone ✨🎊.A day late, but in my defence the year has just begun 🤗. Also, this is the time of our little year end ritual of spending time tucked away from the world, just the two of us, doing what we love 💜. This has become our way of resetting, not just to get ready for the new year, but also to celebrate Sush's birthday that comes around this time. For this introvert, all he wants is to be somewhere quiet, just with me. And since hidden places around Bangalore are hard to come by, we returned to a place close to our hearts.
✨✨
The last 3 days of the year were spent hidden in a little cottage on the hill, waking up to bird songs, watching the sun paint the sky in magical hues, taking long walks along the forest trails and savouring endless cups of tea. Now we are back, full of energy and hope for all that this year has to offer.
✨✨
So, here is to brighter days, more love and countless smiles. May your heart find more moments of joy, your eyes sparkle with excitement and your days be filled with what you love most. Have an amazing 2025 my dear Insta fam 💜🤗.

We were together and I forget the rest 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨Cozy corner, favourite movie and the best company - Our Christmas Evening was just perfect ✨. And it felt even more special when we realised this little corner is the only such space we created this year 🤗. Better late than never, eh? 😉We spent the evening putting this together, then stayed up late watching movies, talking about random things and munching on snacks 😋. For us, Christmas has never been about decorating the house or ticking off traditions like watching Christmas movies. Maybe because we never spent Christmas outside of India. And we aren't fans of traveling during this time with all the rush. So, for us, Christmas holidays are all about slowing down, savouring the season's glitter and creating moments that truly matter 💜.How are you celebrating the holidays this year?@skygoodiesco
I guess we will never have enough of these flowery lights. Keep creating such amazing products.@urbanspacestore.in
Thank you for sending this beautiful bedsheet. We absolutely love it.

Saturday morning escape to the Green Oasis in the

Saturday morning escape to the Green Oasis in the heart of the city 💜. And when there are flowers, birds and very old trees involved, it's a place I love to be 🤗.Sometimes staying in an area that is literally a honeycomb of concrete structures and constant construction drains me away. So. these few hours in the park with giant trees, lush lawns, flowering trees with people jogging, reading and having a picnic with friends was a much needed respite. Loved picking the fallen flowers, watching the birds and just sitting down in silence. Though Bangalore is a growing city with many areas getting more tech parks, more high rises, places like these remind me why it was called The Garden City to begin with.

This was our 1st sunset in Lakshadweep, on the day we reached. And it was at Agatti. Later we watched many more sunsets, but nothing matched this one. Sunsets in Lakshadweep are truly out of this world 🤗💖Where did you see the best Sunset so far?

All things Magic - Lakshadweep 😇🤗💜Back

All things Magic - Lakshadweep 😇🤗💜Back from a trip to #lakshadweep and I am still reeling from the spell cast by the clearest turquoise waters, velvety white sands, the most incredible sunsets and not to forget the vibrant marine life 🐟🪸.So the last couple of days went in a haze walking hand in hand along the palm fringed shores, watching the sky burst into shades of Red and Orange, staying in the water for hours and sometimes simply gawking at the distant horizon and feeling grateful. And the most incredible thing happened on this trip when we got a chance to see bioluminescence 2 nights in a row (Check the pic).Glad we met on this trip Saakshi @seatback_upright . It was fun meeting you and the ladies. Lets plan more such unplanned meets in the future 😉😄Is Lakshadweep on your wishlist?
