Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh Another journey - to fulfill a promise this time. Apart from the sheer serenity of Spiti, the primary reason to visit again this year was the promise I made in my last trip to the postmaster of world's highest post office which is situated in Hikkim Village - to get him the post cards, free of cost, of the pics I had taken and raise funds through the sale of the cards at the post office to support the education and development of children in the village. The post master buys post cards from Kaza and resell in the post office to the traveler. Looking at the traveler count to Spiti and then those whose go to Hikkim and actually send a post card, these 1,000 post cards should last for 3 years. If you happens to visit Hikkim, do take out a moment and write a post card to your loved ones. The route of the journey: Delhi > Shimla > Kalpa > Nako > Tabo > Dhankhar > Kaza > Kee > Kibber > Kaza > Langza > HIKKIM > Komic > Demul > Kalpa > Shimla > Delhi #spiti #himachaldiaries #travelgoals #volunteering #photographersofindia #travelgram #thecorporatemonk (at I.S.B.T.

From your dream to the vision of my own, Without you it would have never be known From a womb to the man of your skies, You gave me the wings to fly ever so high Every inch that I now claim of my own, You taught me the world and how to take it on No matter how difficult I often sound, You're my peace which always resound Every dream once you gave up for mine, Let me show you the world through my eyes. Thanks #maa for your untiring efforts and never ending sacrifices for letting me be me and for being so easy when I'm being so difficult. #motherlove #familygoals #gratitude #beach #sunset #throwback #phonephotography #traveller (at Ramachandi Beach)

"Expression is the language of emotions. Fight challenges not point of views, fight weakness not the weaker you, fight the hate not the love in you. Adapt, to be a better you." Of all my collection of pics from 2017, these selected 2 are my personal favorites as they truly speak volumes. The range of expression and emotions these shots convey is simply priceless - as seen solo and when seen together. One was taken at Asha Deep Foundation (Orphanage and School in Ghaziabad, Delhi NCR) during the Children's Fashion Show where a Muslim mother dressed her daughter in a white gown to be tomorrow's movie star. While, the other shot (at Dhemul Village, Spiti Valley) of grandmother and granddaughter depicts their passion for life and more in solitude. With over 800 kms separating these two shots, feminism and undying zeal to dream for the next generation and self - unite them as one, like many other unheard or unspoken stories. Let your dream to be real and true, breathe hope into those dying deep in you, as much as it's me - it's still quite you. Let them fly free of any shades of adversity. #thecorporatemonk #throwback #repost #iamnikkon #instamoment #feminisim #womenofindia #phonephotography #photographersofindia #travelphotography #travelblogger

Another masterpiece. Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl "He who has a WHY to live for can bear almost any HOW. Forces beyond your control can take away everything you possess except one thing, your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. You cannot control what happens to you in life, but you can always control what you will feel and do about what happens to you."

"Oh, Lord Agni, the foremost one, the knower of the intricate Paths of creation! Lead us by the simple righteous Path to felicity. Destroy our past Karma, eliminate from us the attraction to dubious and ignorant paths.

Dhemul Village, Spiti Valley, HP #loveisouttherecontest #explorelove #natgeotravel One has embraced it all for what the world had to offer while the other has utmost innocence for what to expect, One has given all her colours worn ever since while other's colorful perspective is yet to recolor the world, Love was witnessed by one while it is yet to be explored further by the other. #spitivalley #himachaldiaries #indiapictures #instahimachal #instamoment #hills #waytospiti #travelphotography #travelblogger #trippyowl #natgeotravel #colorsoflife #love (at Spiti Valley)

Happy Deepavali (Deepon ki avali) A Diya reminds to give up materialistic desires, defeat ignorance by gaining knowledge if one wish to merge with God. Lead us from Untruth to Truth, from Darkness to Light, from Death to Immortality. OM Shaanti Shaanti Shaanti. #happydiwali #laxmipuja #festivities

Enroute to Chandrataal, Spiti Valley - there’s the food joint at Batal run by two wonderful souls - Chacha and Chachi (as they loved to be called).

Apart from the simple yet scrumptious food, one being foodie would really appreciate, it's the hospitality that does the magic. Despite the age, they are full of love and welcome everyone with their amazing smile making the trip a memorable one.

If you happen to visit there, do take out time to chat with them.

PS - she’ll only listen if you call her Chachi PLUS she is super cute. :)

"Today is the tomorrow of every yesterday."

- dpshsngh

No matter what went back in the past, no matter what's ahead in the future but what you make of your today, will define your future and the past.

Stop blaming the past for what you are OR are not today and what your future should OR should not be. Your future is your today.

Own your today, put the best step forward and create your future. It begin and end only with YOU and no one else.

Those eyes, full of dreams...
