Of Idyllic Afternoons and Boat Rides: #WordlessWednesday

Solitude is a solitary boat floating in a sea of companions.” – Rober Fulghum Of Idyllic Afternoons and Boat Rides: #WordlessWednesday In between the busyness of attending a family wedding in Calcutta, we took time away one misty afternoon, to regale in the beauty of the river Ganges.

ten things i Am grateful for on monday How did your Monday morning start? Is it Moan-day or Monday for you?

La Familia: #WordlessWednesday
La familia 29 May, 2017 The summer of 2017 was a remarkable. La familia took a road trip to the lush, cooler climes of Uttarakhand from Gurugram, where the summer heat was refusing to beat a retreat.

This shot was taken upon our arrival at the captivating property where, we were put up. The cottage and the clouds…
