I tried working from a co-working space for the first time today, and I must say it was a surprisingly refreshing experience. Until a friend recommended it, I had never really considered a co-working space as an alternative professional environment outside the office. Spent the day at Ideapod Offices, Park Street, Kolkata, and was impressed by the professionalism, infrastructure, and overall work atmosphere.

The space was well-organized, quiet, and designed for productivity. Being surrounded by professionals from different fields created an energy that was both motivating and focused.

It's fascinating to see how this work culture has evolved.

Finally made it to Soy Yum for some authentic Korean hotpot, and it was absolutely worth the wait. 🍲🇰🇷

There's something special about gathering around a steaming pot, watching fresh ingredients come together, and enjoying a meal that's as much about the experience as it is about the food.

From the rich broth and perfectly cooked meats to the comforting warmth of the hotpot, every bite felt like a little trip to Korea right in the heart of Kolkata.

Late-night dinners hit differently in Kolkata’s Chinatown. 🥢🌙

Tucked away in the old lanes of Tangra, Lee’s Eating House had the perfect after-hours vibe—warm lights, comforting Chinese flavours, good conversations, and that unmistakable Kolkata charm.

There’s something special about ending the day over steaming plates, bold sauces, and the quiet buzz of Chinatown at night.

Kolkata, you always know how to turn a simple dinner into a memory.

The best mornings begin with good coffee, great food, and no rush. ☕🍳✨

Started the day at Motherland Café, soaking in the cozy atmosphere, fresh aromas, and a breakfast that was every bit as satisfying as the setting. There's something special about slowing down, enjoying a warm cup of coffee, and watching the city wake up around you.

In a world that moves too fast, mornings like these are worth holding on to.

A perfect start to the day. ❤️

Pause from deadlines. Pause from routines. Pause from the constant rush.

The mountains have a way of putting things into perspective. They remind you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reflect on how far you've come and where you're headed.

Sometimes, the most memorable part of travelling isn't the destination itself, but the moments of stillness that allow you to reconnect with yourself.

Walking above the mountains, with the clouds beneath and the Himalayas all around—Pelling Sky Walk was an experience. Every step offered stunning views of the surrounding hills, while the towering statue watched over the landscape in serene silence.

The cool mountain breeze, the endless panorama of Sikkim's hills, and the feeling of being suspended between earth and sky made this more than just a tourist attraction—it felt like a moment of pure wonder.

The morning began with quiet hills, fresh mountain air, and a view that made everything else pause for a while. Watching the clouds drift slowly over the valleys and the mountains glow softly in the early light was the kind of peaceful start every vacation needs.

No rush, no noise—just the calm of the hills and the beauty of Sikkim all around.

A visit to Temi Tea Garden felt like stepping into a postcard. Nestled amidst the serene landscapes of South Sikkim, the endless stretches of emerald tea bushes, draped across the hillsides, create a view that is both breathtaking and calming.

The journey through the misty mountain roads was an adventure in itself, with clouds floating over the valleys and every turn revealing a new panorama. Standing amidst the tea gardens, surrounded by nature's tranquility, it was impossible not to pause and appreciate the simple beauty of the moment.

Some places energize you. Some places calm you. Temi does both.

Sikkim continues to surprise me with its charm, one destination at a time. ❤️

Driving through the winding, fog-covered roads of Ravangla felt like travelling through a dream. With clouds drifting across the mountains, dense forests disappearing into the mist, and every turn revealing a new breathtaking view, the road itself became an experience to cherish.

As we climbed higher into the hills, the cold mountain air, peaceful silence, and untouched beauty of South Sikkim reminded us why the mountains have a way of calling us back.

Visiting Buddha Park in Ravangla was more than just a sightseeing stop—it was an experience of peace, reflection, and awe. The towering Buddha statue, surrounded by manicured gardens and panoramic mountain views, creates an atmosphere that feels both majestic and serene.

As the mist drifted across the hills and prayer flags fluttered in the cold mountain breeze, time seemed to slow down. Sometimes, the most beautiful destinations are the ones that leave you feeling lighter than when you arrived.

An evening stroll along MG Marg, Gangtok's vibrant heart, was exactly that. Colorful storefronts, cozy cafés, mountain air, smiling faces, and the gentle hum of a town that perfectly balances tradition and modernity.

With the mist rolling in, lights glowing across the street, and the Himalayas watching from afar, every step felt like a scene from a postcard.

No traffic. No rush. Just good vibes, fresh air, and the charm of the mountains.

Tsomgo Lake welcomed us with icy winds, drifting clouds, and snow-covered landscapes straight out of a dream. What started with misty mountain roads soon turned into rain, followed by snowfall that transformed the entire valley into a winter wonderland.

Standing beside the pristine blue waters of Tsomgo, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and ever-changing skies, felt like witnessing nature's magic unfold in real time.

Exploring the breathtaking heights of Nathula Pass, standing amidst pristine snow, and witnessing one of India's most remarkable border regions was an experience unlike any other. The crisp mountain air, endless white vistas, and the sheer grandeur of the Himalayas make you realize how small we are in the face of nature's magnificence.

Every turn revealed a new postcard-worthy view, every moment felt surreal, and every mile reminded me why the mountains keep calling us back.
