Saying 2016 has been dramatic and chaotic is definitely an understatement.  Personally, 2016 has been a year of change for me. I have grown and changed and come to terms with so many aspects of my life. This year I have felt a change like I have never felt before. I was under a dark cloud...

Diwali is the festival of lights. Here are a few snaps I took this Diwali (2016). Please leave your comments/suggestions below as I'm a beginner at photography and would appreciate any inputs. Thank You! ...

Sometimes shit happens. Ugly. Unnecessary.  The Happening: In the heat of the moment, nothing seems terribly wrong. You convince yourself that what is happening is supposed to happen. Sometimes you aren't even thinking. You convince yourself that it is the end, so you don't try to make...

This experience has been greater than I imagined in my head. Though I was very passionate about this fundraiser/event, the passion I felt during the actual preparation was above what I thought. The 6 days (5 days of raising funds and the last day of actually feeding the dogs) has been something I would...

Today I went to buy most of the foods that will be a part of the "meal plan" for the stray dogs and the foods that have not yet been bought will be bought tomorrow morning. Though I knew how much of everything would be required for 100 dogs, I still didn't expect to carry so many bags (they were...

Day 5! The last day for raising money, and guess what? WE DID IT! In fact, we raised more than enough money for the fundraiser! I would like to thank everyone who donated money (special thanks to some people will be given later :) ) or even thought of donating money but couldn't for some reason...

Day 4. Only two nore days to go! We have only a couple bucks more to raise before we reach the goal and now there's no stopping us from spreading the love!! Bwahahaha. Wait, what? ...

Day 3 and we've already raised enough to feed 100 stray dogs! 3 Days to go! I am so excited and feel so thankful for everyone who decided to make a difference! Even if it is only one meal per dog and only for one day, even a small gesture/a little effort makes a huge difference. :...

It's only Day 2 and I have been able to raise a total of 5000 rupees for the Feed the Strays Fundraiser! Cannot wait to surprise the stray dogs with delicious food! And then they'll love me forever! And we'll be a squad! #SquadGoals! 4 days to go! ...

I love wildlife photography and some time back I got this great opportunity to take the amazing pictures below. The beauty of "no human interference" nature stuns me and it's heart breaking to know how we are losing thousands of species due to careless human activity and invasion. Let's spread awareness...

So I have loved animals for as long as I remember and though I've always wanted a little bundle of joy - a puppy! - I've never gotten the chance to have one. This post isn't about how I never got to fulfill my childhood dreams, but It's about my love and passion for animals. I live in India and so...

A million voices in my head. One says “let go”. One says “attack back”. One says “it was meant to be and you couldn’t control the situation”. One says "it was your entire fault". One says "wait a little darling, you'll find some comforting hands". One says "You'll be lonely forever, try as much as...

I'll be posting soon after my first session of Edexcel AS level examinations ...
