  • Strange times we are living in. . . After all those movies on pandemic and viruses, I never thought the world would go through something like this. It seems so surreal sometimes but this is so real. . . It has been two weeks since I have been home. The restlessness and uneasiness of being home 24/7 is gone. While I have the privilege of staying home relaxed and peaceful there is so much going in the world around me. Everyone is fighting this pandemic in their own way and the only way we can help is by staying home and staying safe. This will end soon and we all bounce back real soon! 🤞🏼😊 . . Till then keep the spirits high and dream about what and where will you go after all this is over! 😍 . . . #GoCoronaGo #StayHomeStaySafe . . . . . . . . #northeastindia #northeastlens #unexplorednortheast #nagaland #khonoma #kohima #whereisnortheast #incredibleindia #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #storiesofindia #tripotocommunity #lonelyplanetindia #hippieinhills #traveldiaries #travelstoke #igersofindia #travelgram #discoverindiamagazine #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost
  • Just read an article where a Delhi man spat Gutka on a Manipuri woman and called her CORONA and fled away! Like WTF!! . . Reading the article made my blood boil. This is the heights of racism! And this is not some one off case. It is happening to many people across the globe who may or may not be from China but look Asian. Even if they are from China, there is literally no excuse for such stupid behaviour! . . Can people stop being so stupid? Can they please stop being so xenophobic? Can we just learn to accept other people. . . Since I am from Manipur, I take such incidents personally. And I know people from the North East India are infact quite amazing. Some of the nicest and happiest people I have met. So yeah let's just live peacefully and let others live peacefully and be nice to each other! It is really not that difficult... . . Over and Out! . . . . #racialdiscrimination #coronavirus #manipur #nagaland #northeastindia #liveandletlive #indiaclicks #yourstory @yourstory_com #peopleofnortheast #childrenofnortheast #whereisnortheast #indiatravelgram #indiastories #igersofindia @discover.northeast #northeastlens #unexplorednortheast #meghalya #arunachalpradesh
  • "Real men have black teeth. It makes us look fierce! Only cows have white teeth. Are you a cow?" And then he laughed at his own joke showing his broken black set of teeth and betel stained red lips, while offering me to eat some betel nuts. . . This man is part of the few remaining ferocious Head Hunting tribe, the Konyaks of Nagaland. In his younger days, he has chopped off the heads of his enemies. Many I am sure! And how do I know that? . . Well, among the Konyaks, chopping an enemy's head was a rite of passage and for every head, he would be rewarded with a tattoo. Tattoos in the face, chest, back, arms etc. And he had a LOT of tattoos, each a medal of his past achievement. 😳 . . . Much was lost in translation because I don't speak their language. But can you imagine the kind of stories he has lived through his life? A story for each tattoo from the last of the Tattooed Head Hunters! . . I can only imagine! 💀 . . . . . . . #konyaks #mon #tattooedheadhunter #tribesofnagaland #nagaland #tribesofindia #northeast #northeastlens #whereisnortheast #unexplorednortheast #incredibleindia #tripotocommunity #NGTindia @natgeotravellerindia @natgeo @natgeoyourshot #lonelyplanetindia @lonelyplanetindia #indiatravelgram #indiaclicks #traveldiaries #igersofindia #nerdyadventuress #womenwhoexplore
  • This is 'Social Distancing'! 😬 . . . So distant that even if you need a cup of sugar from your neighbours, you gotta swim it or paddle it out or push your island close to your neighbours island! 😁 . . Yeah these are the floating islands of Loktak lake where the fishermen live. These floating landmass are called phumdis which are heterogeneous masses of vegetation, soil and organic matter. The fishermen move these phumdis to make circular islands to trap fish. #genius And if you are wondering how big a phumdi can be? Well the largest single mass floating phumdis covers an area of 40 square km! Yup. That is big! So you can imagine how big this lake is! 😏 . . . . . . . . #socialdistancing #manipur #loktak #phumdis #northeast #incredibleindia #imphal #moirang #manipurtourism #whereisnortheast #northeastlens #discovernortheast #unexplorednortheast #natgeoyourshot #ngtindia #lonelyplanetindia #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #photooftheday #igersofindia #tripotocommunity #travelstoke #indiapictures #traveldiaries @manipurtourismofficial
  • If only, 'Work From Home' also had a 'View From Home' like this. 🙄 *deep sigh* . . . Ideally, I would have taken this opportunity to go back home and work from my home, back in North East where my parents are. Free stay, free food, free internet and lots of pampering! 😁 . . But I think it is best if no one travels anywhere and just stays put where ever they are right now. Unfortunately, I'm in the closed down city and this is where I will be until things become better. 😕😟 . . But since I'm missing home, I am going to share pictures from North East India, especially from my home, Manipur and my other favorite states like Meghalaya, Arunachal and Nagaland and keep other work from home buddies entertained. What say? 😀 Excited much? I am. Ok. Let's roll... . . . . . . . . . #northeastindia #northeast #northeastlens #whereisnortheast #discovernortheast #explorenortheast #girlswhotravel #womenwhoexplore #outdoorlife #sheisnotlost #unexplorednortheast #igersofindia #natgeoyourshot #lonelyplanetindia #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #photooftheday #incredibleindia #traveldiaries #travelstoke #waterfalldreams #indiaphotography #tripotocommunity #wfh #thankscoronavirus
  • You know what they say, "A place is only as good as the people you know in it. It's the people that makes the place."😊 . . . Back in the clutches of the confined city, I cannot help thinking of being back on the beach with these awesome people who made Mulki such an awesome place! . . To the @surfingindia team and the new friends, it was so good to meet you all and keep in touch! Pretty sure we will meet again, hopefully, soon! ♥️🤞🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . #mulki #mantrasurf #beachlove #karnataka #mangalore #karnatakatourism #outdoorlife #surfindia #simplelife #incredibleindia #oceanlovers #earthpix #igersofindia #photooftheday #traveldiaries #travelstoke #womenwhoexplore #tripotocommunity #sheisnotlost #traveldiaries #waterbabies #indiatravelgram #explore #wanderlust #adventure
  • Mountain or Ocean, where ever you travel, #LeaveEveryPlaceBetter . . One of the most simple ways to do that is by carrying your own water bottle and thus reducing the use of plastic bottles. . . While the beach at Mulki was clean, there were plastic bottles scattered around which is mostly thrown back by the sea. This is a universal problem. Plastic in our ocean is dangerous. Infact this weekend do take out time from your busy schedule to watch this documentary on Netflix, called 'A Plastic Ocean' to understand how plastic is ruining our ecosystem. . . Or, if you are in Mangalore or Mulki this weekend, @surfingindia is organizing a beach clean up on Sunday. Join in and do your part! . . #SayNoToPlasticBottles #SayNoToSingleUsePlastic ☺️🤙🏼 . . . . . . #mulki #mangalore #karnatakatourism #karnataka #mulkibeach #noplastic #oceanlover #surf #beachcleanup #cleanindia #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #incredibleindia #womenwhoexplore #earthpix #savetheplanet #ourplanet #savetheocean #mantrasurf
  • *Philosophy 101- Three things I have learnt from trying to learn Surfing.* . . 1. Surfing is like Life where waves come in constantly. You cant stop it but you can choose to ride it or let it pass over. Only you decide that. . . 2. Falling and getting wiped out is part of learning how to Surf, but what matters is how you face it and get back up. . . 3. Like Life, perseverance matters. More you work on it, the better you get. . .. .. Too much philosophy? 😁 Well try surfing and let me know if this is true or what! For now enjoy the waves while I dream of getting back in the water. 🏄 . . . . . #surf #mulki #mangalore #karnataka #karnatakatourism #surfphilosophy #outdoorlife #surfingindia #mantrasurf #womenwhoexplore #sheisnotlost #indiaclicks #indiatravelgram #igersofindia #girlgetters #tripotocommunity #traveldiaries #travelstoke #wanderlust #oceanlove #beachbaby #adventure #instadaily #incredibleindia
  • Starry nights on the beach...*sigh* 😍 . . . . . . . Also, I am quite impressed with the night mode of my humble One Plus phone. Not bad. But next time I will carry my camera. 🙄 . . . #beachcamping #bonfirenight #mulki #mangalore #karnatakatourism #mantrasurf #outdoorlife #indiatravelgram #adventure #womenwhoexplore #girlgetters #sheisnotlost #oceanlove #traveldiaries #travelstoke #tripotocommunity #starrynight #incredibleindia #outdoorgirl #wanderlust #oneplusshot @oneplus
