Meet the ancestor of Violin, the Ravaanhatha or Raavan's hand. This folk instrument has deep rooted connection with Rajasthan and particularly Thar desert where you will find wanderers playing meditative tunes on it. It is believed that Ravana, the ten headed demon king of Sri Lanka, used to play this instrument everyday to please his favourite deity - Lord Shiva. After the battle between Indian god Rama and Ravana in which the latter dies, Hanuman carries Ravanhatha to this part of India as a sign of Ravana's end. Ravaanhatha is still an integral part of the culture of Rajasthan. #folkmusic #rajasthan #jaipur #india #moimehr #sheisnotlost #tweenblogger #natgeo #cnntraveller #cnntravellerindia #incredibleindia #visitindia

My favourite journey is to look out of a window and when there are 953 of them it becomes a roller coaster ride. Hawa Mahal or the 'Palace of Breeze' is the jewel in the crown of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. This honeycomb hive structure of five storeys was built by Sawai Pratap Singh for the royal ladies. The women then followed 'Purdah System' and weren't allowed to show their face to strangers. Hence for them to enjoy the processions held during the widely celebrated festivals of Teej and Gangaur, this red and pink monument came into existence. The then Maharaja 👑 extended the women chamber of City Palace (the royal residence) to Hawa Mahal for easy access and uninterrupted entertainment. #moimehr #hawamahal #Jaipur #rajasthan #india #sheisnotlost #tweenblogger #landofkings #travelgalore #palaceofwinds #livelife #natgeo #cnntraveller #cnntravellerindia #incredibleindia #visitindia

"If you were a fruit.. " what would you describe yourself as 🙀 I have always visualized myself as a COCONUT. No not because of the #tropical #holidays my parents have taken me to. Not even because am hard on the outside and soft inside, in fact am tender inside out 😂just like this ice-cream I ate in #Thailand, served fresh in the very shell of the fruit. I would say I am like a #coconut because I like being as productive. Did you know no part of this fruit gets wasted? Every bit is used up. Similarly, I want to toil hard and awaken everything hidden in me. So I can stand before #god and say I used up everything you gave me.. 🙋🙌🙏 #sheisnotlost #girlblogger #girlboss #hearme #earlyblogger #travelisliving #onelifeisless #seetheworld #moimehr

Caption - " Colours of life! " Brought to life by grandma and made immortal by me. Yes! I am a photographer (amateur though) and I make things immortal. This year I got the opportunity to represent my school in an inter school competition for photography. I captured a flower and stood third(not bad for a newbie 😅). You can call me a Sunday photographer now. The crystallising moment was when I decided to put a filter on this before uploading it here (like I do for most other pictures 😁). I suddenly realized that no matter which one I choose I will only make it 'less beautiful'. It's a damn flower after all, it needs no filter like us. #moimehr #tweenblogger #bloggersofinstagram #sheisnotlost #photography #nofilter #lifeisbeautiful #lovelife

A day well spent at the farm. I only had enough food for one of them 😅 but the problem with feeding one 🐑 is stopping the others from following BAA-AA-AAD #instasheep #farmfun #moimehr #travelgram #sheisnotlost #worldtraveler

Hiding behind the comforts of life 🙈❤ #travelwithdreams #travelwithoutpurpose #travelmakesmestrong #travelblogger #cnntravel #natgeotravelpic #moimehr #natgeo #cnntraveller #cnntravellerindia #incredibleindia #visitindia

I wandered lonely as a cloud That floated on valleys and cities Sometimes I liked the green Sometimes the routine The moment I saw the crowd I craved for calmness, oh so witty! Though travel has made me lose myself in the right direction, it has also made my life a beautiful contradiction. Travel lifts me up. This picture taken on the streets of Chiang Mai brings back fond memories. Memories of times when I lost my soul and let it flow with the course of my destiny. Sometimes it's not easy to give words to one's thoughts. One such moment is now, when this song is more meaningful than I can ever be. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains You raise me up to walk on stormy seas I am strong when I am on your shoulders You raise me up to more than I can be #travelwithdreams #travelwithoutpurpose #travelmakesmestrong #travelblogger #cnntravel #natgeotravelpic #moimehr

I don't know where I am going but I am on my way ! Travellers dream of travel and travel to dream because there is so much universe and so little time. We all have pinned our favourites in our minds and so have I. I have been bonkers about space from even longer than I can remember. It's my💡at the end of the tunnel. After covering all that the Earth has to offer I would one day like to set my foot 🚀 on the unchartered celestial bodies of space. This is a picture of the Birla Planetarium in Calcutta (one of my favourite hangout place in my city). Here, I am checking how much I shall weigh on the nearby (rather not so near) rocks in our ☀ system. Jupiter is the place for all the Laurel's out there while Phobos (the 🌙 of Mars) for the Hardy's #soeatyourcarbs 😉 #calcutta #birlaplanetarium #allaboutspace #futurescientist #travelistheway #spaceandtravel #travelblogger #wanderlustsoul #moimehr

Travel has gifted me eyes ! There were times when I have been blind to my own city, like having sight but no vision and there are times when I have felt overflown with all that it has to offer. Now is one such time. I realize how ignorant I have been to it and it's Heritage beauties which have their own special stories to tell. Just as I promised, am back with more on this stunning piece of architecture in my homecity - 'Victoria Memorial' ! The black bronze statue atop the dome is a rotating statue called the 'Angel of Victory'. It is 16 ft high and weighs around three thousand kilograms. It carries a bugle to its lips which acts as a weathervane ( tells you the direction of the blowing wind ). It is installed on a shaft which has a layer of mercury under it making it lightning proof. What amazes me is not just the exquisite designs or the intense drama in these statues but the far sightedness architects had in those times. Their art though speaks of their time but aims for timelessness. Make a date with your city soon 🌹 #victoriamemorial #kolkata #heritagesite #angelofvictory #indyguide #cntraveler #storiesofindia #wanderxwonder #indiatourism #liveforthestory #travelwithapurpose #traveltolearn #travelblogger #wandercurious #moimehr

Of late, I am being a tourist in my own city and I can't stop comparing Victoria Memorial's resonating similarity with it's rival Taj Mahal. This monument is Calcutta's own fairy tale ! The city of Calcutta was blessed with this historical heritage during the British rule over India. Before this spectacular monument was erected, on this particular land was the famous correctional facility called the Presidency Jail. But God's plan has always been more powerful than ours. After the death of 👑 Victoria in 1901, Lord Curzon the then Viceroy proposed the erection of a grand monument commemorating Queen Victoria. Hence, the jail building had to be demolished to pay tribute to the Empress. This memorial was then built using Makrana marble with a blend of both European and Mughal (dome) style. What's hidden in this picture is the 'Angel of Victory' on top of the dome which is a black bronze rotating fairy statue with a bugle. Standing high in the shining sun it is the essence of this stunning structure.

In us the tiger sniffs the rose 🌹 Have you ever thought who is more cunning on earth - humans or animals? Animals never kill for sports (but we do) and if they could earn/buy food they would never resort to killing (but we do) . Still, why is it that the phrase 'being human' is always associated with a good soul while 'being an animal' with a ruiner ? Human-ity is a thing while Animal-ity was never devised by us. Doesn't it make us hypocrites and self-seeking ? This picture was taken outside Tiger Kingdom in Chiang Mai. This artistic picture of the tiger with these skin deep patterned stripes and fiery eyes is a masterpiece. But did you notice the torn part? This strikes me that animals are actually God's masterpiece and we humans have been tearing them apart for our needs ever since we know them. I know not about how authentic this place is in maintaining the well being of these mighty animals but one thing I know for sure is that I wouldn't like to be caged. The more I travel the more I realize how necessary it is for humans and animals to move around. Though during my visit I came across volunteers who spoke about how these tigers are nurtured well in the artificial setup and also met many playful cubs who knew not about forests and the world, I still feel that they would perfectly fit in nature's lap @cntravellerindia #travelforacause #travelforlove #animalovers #humansforanimals #travelblogger #liveforthestory #travelbloggers #solotravelingisfun #moimehr #lpmi #CNTgiveItashot

Are you a piece of layered chocolate cake? You're so much more than just a pretty face. You're worth finding, knowing and loving. You're layers and layers of colourful secrets buried under one another with love in the centre of it all. You would never actually know it until you decide to dig deeper into these layers of secret purposes which finally takes you to the deepest purpose you have come to this world for. It's only then you will be fully satisfied. So don't resent the depth and taste each of them because you so much deserve this piece of cake. #layeredlife #purposeoflife #lifeisachocolatecake #starbucks #mumbai #travelblogger #travelbloggers #moimehr

She would be an aesthete she decided, and travel somewhere beautiful and far. Sitting in a quaint little cafe. Eating without fear their local stews and sincerely offered produce. Learning from the French and the Italians with the world music being played. Trying new scales on her piano. Reading her favourite book. Occassionaly spinning the globe and unfolding the map, deciding a place to go. She is lost in her thoughts. Lost in the world she loves and she chose. #allthingsunbranded #cafe #music #bookstagram #mapmyfriend #pianoscales #travelblogger #moimehr

When travelling via Ferrari is too mainstream opt for a more colourful option 😉 There are plenty of ways to explore the city of Bangkok. It's transportation network is as diverse and trendy as its residents are. Though BTS is a great way here to cut long distances short, tuk-tuks are better for feeling the energy of the city. This one in particular is a symbol of Thai artistry. I found it parked on the pavement. Too bad couldn't ride it but made up for the loss by riding on the less colourful ones. I bet in Bangkok if BTS is a carousel, tuk - tuks are roller coasters. For some thrill in life embark on one of these open-air taxis, and enjoy the crazy ride. #openairtaxis #tuktuks #bangkok #saynotobts #thaiartists #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travels #moimehr

I love Bangkok! The mad traffic, the ways of driving, the ways of putting up buildings, the environmental management arrangements, the frantic shoppers and the innumerable shopping malls. This is our picture from the "Times Square" mall in Sukhumwit. We were on a walkway which leads you directly from the sky train to the mall. Almost all the malls along the route have walkways from stations so you can travel and shop in comfort. #hangoverbangkok #thailand #shopping #madtraffic #verticalgardening #malls #timessquare #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travelbloggeres #moimehr

Rain or Shine, it's caravan time ! Just like us do you too wish to live in a house that has wheels and can go away down the lanes and through the towns and stand still in fields at night ? We had an innnnnncrrrreddddible time living in one of these in northern Thailand. #camping #northernthailand #funtimes #adventureland #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travels #moimehr #thailand #cntgiveitashot #lpmi

I have never met a pasta dish that I did not love ! Had a great time owning up this pasta wagon for a while (the owner had some errands to run, all the more fun 😜)Played with the fresh ingredients and served the best dish everytime 🍝💪 And of course there weren't any leftovers 😋👯 Pasta La Vista baby 🎉 #pasta #pastalovers #italian #fresh #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travelbloggeres #travel #funtimes #moimehr #thailand

I can never have a long distance relationship with the mountains ! My drive from Oslo to Flam with my father at the steering wheel was a thrilling affair. Grateful for every breath there ! Mountains are truly the beginning and end of all natural scenery. #flam #myrdal #gudvangen #oslo #norway #scandinavia #nordic #funtimes #familytravels #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travels #moimehr #instakids #instavideos #instagrammers #traveladdict #iamtb #lonelyplanet #travelgram #roadtrips #epicroadtrip
