~ teeny tiny life update mates 🦘 ~ life handed me a new unknown kind of i.e a new role i don't know much about after hours & hours of breaking my head (& wondering if should resist change), I took it up. I know this is NBD in the grand scheme of things. People move continents, jobs, marriages, lives, etc but I'm celebrating this small win of a moving to a new team, pushing my comfort zone and learning many new technologies rapido (hello devOps) bonus : I have a female boss yay, a possible work trip to Australia in the horizon, and a new and improved Aussie accent 2.0 to "delight" friends and family with // top by women-owned women-run @nooworks 🤗

नमस्ते from India's tiger state Madhya Pradesh y'all! We are spending a few days in the thick jungles of Kanha! As a craaazy cat lady, I have spent a huge portion of my life in (domesticated) feline company. Now I’m super excited to sight a majestic tiger or ten in the wild or at least learn more about these jungle cats. ~70% of the world’s tigers live in India and of that ~20% live in Madhya Pradesh. I’m on vacation here with my parents and husbae, something I didn’t expect would ever happen so I’m somewhere stuck between with pumped and numb with disbelief. // Love this cotton salwar with Mughal mogra prints from @tamarachennai and obsessed with the necklace from @raziakunj. The faces represent feminity and it's made by artists from the traditional community of Patwas. #supportlocal

It's been a lovely week celebrating the future parents (sister-in-law and brother-in-law) in New Jersey with extended in-laws and their friends.Said it before and I'll say it again, I lucked out with a sister and a brother when I married Deepesh. We spent a few weeknights DIYing our way through jungle baby shower decorations, thank you Pinterest and Youtube haha. 🦓 On the day of, it was super fun to host the baby shower even though it was more of a giant team effort. I can't believe how time flies; We have been talking about the baby shower for months and it's already over. Here's hoping for a safe delivery and looking forward to seeing a naughty and healthy #babyMenon and mum in the next few months. ✨ @tourist.in.my.city @deepesh_nair

Well-maintained forts are beautiful but there's a different kind of other-worldly beauty about a once-majestic fort that’s now in silent ruin. In the 17th century, the Gond dynasty who ruled over the hilly regions of central #India built a majestic fortress at Ramnagar, near their capital Mandla in #madhyapradesh. The fort stood by banks of the Narmada with the river offering natural defense from invaders on three sides. The reign of the Gond rulers was rather interesting because the culture of the ruling class was strikingly different from that of the Gond community at large. The ruling class arose not by adhering to its root culture but by embracing the culture and methods of its adversaries. Inter-marriages were common and the Gond rulers were heavily influenced by the Mughals in Delhi and the Rajput clans with whom they alternately battled and entered into alliances with. Today the rooms of the three-storeyed palace inside the fortress are dark, the secret passageway offering an escape route to a nearby town is consumed by bushes and shrubs, and there are monkeys galavanting and curiously peering at you as you stroll by. It's all very exciting to think about all the things that transpired here. I could have spent hours here but my parents went berserk, thinking that this fort that has withstood the test of time for four centuries would crumble underneath my weight trapping me forever. do you love ruins?

Yercaud nights! ⛰✨#india @tipperary.estate
