  • THE AMAZON RAINFOREST IS ON FIRE! . Do you know about it? You should, because it's a BIG deal. . In case you think the Amazon rainforest fire doesn't affect you? -  The amazon is responsible for 20% of the world’s OXYGEN -  It is the home for 3 million species of plants & animals and 1 million indigenous people . How we got here? - Since Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro has prioritized economic gain over the environment & land rights of indigenous Amazonians. Despite pushback from conservationists & indigenous activists, Jair has encouraged loggers & farmers to clear rainforest land. . What can you do? - Take 2 seconds to share this post to spread awareness and drive change because your voice matters. - Donate to "Amazon Watch" @amazonwatch to support the rainforest's indigenous population in their fight against deforestation of their home - Donate to the "World Wildlife Fund" @wwf to help protect the countless plants & animals species - Reduce your paper and wood consumption - Plant more trees - Reduce your meat consumption . . . """What's the use of a fine house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?""" . . . SAVE AMAZON RAINFOREST!  SAVE EARTH SAVE ANIMALS! . . . This is a life-threatening International emergency. . . #prayforamazonia #prayforamazonas #saveamazonia #prayfortheamazon . . . Doodle explained: . The half portion, in black, is the remaining forest. The camp indicates the homes of humans there and the little panda sneaking behind the tree is scared of what is happening, which indicates the wildlife. Rest is the Flora fauna In the area. The red portion is 🔥, which has just destroyed a significant amount of Amazon Rainforest. . Request you all to share this as much as possible.
  • PART 10 ************************************************* Bye Bye AON & Faridabad- I hope never to see you again | Chote Chote steps towards bade bade dreams ************************************************* . More than getting into a good college, I wanted to get out of Bhiwani after schooling. I used to fancy living away from home and enjoy all that freedom. Shifted to Faridabad, did my Grad and post-grad from there, then 1.5 years of job... . Faridabad became my 2nd home and a comfort zone. It was no less than Bhiwani in terms of feel. . I wanted to move out of Faridabad for multiple reasons. After Bhiwani, I shifted to Faridabad for studies and spent almost 8 years there. That was my 2nd home, comfort and safe zone. . I somehow became so adamant to leave Faridabad and shift to some other city. Everyone, including my family, was against it don't know why. . Btw, just to let you know, most of my parent's decision during that time used to depend on what my friends were doing. So, i ended up being in Faridabad because my friends were going there. That's so typical, conservative, Indian parents. . Ok back to shifting to a new city. Out of nowhere, I thought of Chandigarh. I liked that place already and wanted to spend some alone time, and it was not that far too. So yeah, potential option. . Got a job in Chandigarh in a startup. I thought of it as an interesting option. And that was interesting actually but then my boss. Uff,  she was real-time trouble. I am from Commerce background and don't know why she started assigning me some scientific IT-related work. Whole my life, I have hated science more than anything. I was not even aware of the terms my boss used to use. And guess what, she used to say- "you use google, learn things and then do it" . . . Chandigarh! New city, new people. No friends, And such a sweetheart boss ;) . P.S. I decided to quit my 2nd job again as soon as I joined it. . Ab kya? Will upload soon !
  • If you are someone who just loves strolling on Instagram and follow a lot of fashion bloggers, then you must have seen their skincare videos which apparently includes applying 1000 types of fancy and costly International products. I wonder if all of that it is actually sustainable and possible for mango people aka aam aadmi. I mean just ask yourself- even if your not lazy, would you you still like to to apply i 10 15 types of creams before going to bed? . It's a No for most of us. . So I thought why not make a video of of my skincare regime which is humanly possible for everyone who is watching this video. And the best part is we all can afford it. . Product used: @varifacialspray Been using it for more than 6 months now. Check out the video for all the details. . Thank me later!
  • This picture is from Rambling Rose, Barog, the place I visited recently. . . About Rambling Rose: . It’s the kind of house you will see in the movies.

  • Gyaan! Your 20's and now 30's also, are your selfish years. It' the time to experiment every single thing that you have thought of. It's the time to be selfish with your time and all the aspects of you. . Wake up early, drink coffee, keep your priorities straight, your mind right and head high, Do well, live well, and dress really well. Treat yourself everyday. Do what you love and love what you do. . Stop cancelling plans. Go out and use your legs while they work. You are guaranteed nothing. Stop denying affection. . You will never be able to love someone as a teenager at 35. Don't change because you have been told to do so. Don't 'take the regular jobs and try to settle" because that's the societal norm. Be brutally, beautifully, honest. Go and change your life. Live the way you have always wanted to. You can watch Netflix anytime but "now" is the time to work on yourself. . Do you want to regret at 70? . Stop romanticizing the "I don't need anybody" and "I don't have feelings" attitude. Embrace feelings and intimacy. Don't apologize for being emotional. . You are only a teenager for 2555 days and then you are 20. Another 3650 days and you are 30. Life never slows down and life is tough! Bones becomes fragile and break, people die, and heart become weak. . With every cell and atom alive, live your life! . Everything will make sense someday. For now, embrace your mistakes, chase your passion, make your existence count.
  • PDA alert📣 . """You are the most unplanned and unexpected thing ever happened to me.. . From "hey, can I join you on next trip" to "documenting our lives for future kids", we have already come a long way! . Happy 6 months @anuragmeher . #rahee
  • Which beach would you choose to go? No. 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 ? . Also tag someone you wish to take along. . Well, these pictures are from my recent trip to Thailand. The beaches there are to die for. They are so damn beautiful.
  • It's "Rahee" written in urdu on my finger. . "Well Travelled" is better than "Well Qualified". How i wonder i knew the importance of this before. Ok let's be honest here. How many of you remember the topics you studied in class 12th? Or how many of you remember applying that "marginal utility diagram" in your daily life? Or do you use balance sheets? That's how we grew. Never ever in school or by parents we were taught the value of travel. I remember requesting my parents for Goa trip in college and they denied. This has been the life of most of 90's kids. . *fast forward* . I see so many 90's kids out there, on roads, randomly exploring the different corners or planet and it feels so satisfying. . Experiencing the ocean, mountains, air, waterfalls, taking roads not taken, falling asleep under the starts, listening to people talk about their travel stories, being free, spontaneous, being passionate, watching sunrises, chasing sunsets, capturing galaxies in their cameras, wearing a pyajama for days, eating the simplest of home cooked food, embracing change, being alone in bookstores, buying art supplies, dancing in rain, listening to thunderstorms, smiling without reason, looking down at the clouds on an airport, taking roadtrips, talking to random people.. aah! the list is long. Ever wondered what all "travel can teach you? . Oh my God, what if you wake up someday and you are 65, and you don't have any suh stories to share with your grandkids? Ever thought about that? -It's going to break your heart if the answer is "no". Don't let this happen. . Be a "Rahee". Move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else's shoes or atleast eat their food. Open your mind, get up off the couch, move. -Anthony Bourdain . Btw, tried this hand doodle which will be a regular thing now.. because I loved it. A new design on my hand everyday.. how cool is that 🥰
  • This post is for people (mostly mens in my social media accounts), who are so interested in my life after marriage. . Well, just to give you context, I have been receiving so many messages lately regarding organizing trips by travel affairs. If you must know, from past 3-4 months, I am not organising trips, rather traveling on my own. . And I have my reasons for doing the same. Anyway, point is not that. . In past few days, I got such messages and calls asking about the trips and commenting that- "You have changed after marriage", "Shadi ke baad sust/lazy ho gai ho" , "Shadi ke baad sabhi aise hi jaate hai Kya" etc etc. . And surprisingly, these all statements are from "men". Vaise to I don't really need to justify my life to anyone but here is an open statement to everyone who said so or think like so: . """Shaadi is a life changing event.. in a good way, ofcourse. It's a stage of life where things changes.. like "12th boards", "college", "1st job". These all are life altering events right? and needless to say, Shadi comes with more responsibilities.""" . Random gyaan: one should not pass judgements or comments basis on a person's life choices. I mean, if you are so much curious, then ask simply. . Oh one more thing, one day, everyone has to married (Unless you have decided to stay single forever). But try to understand, things changes with time, every single day you grow, you learn and you change.. . As some wise men said: "Change is the only constant"
