Eventful August Dump 💯
Last month was crazy, and this one would be even crazier! But August was full of nostalgia, ups and downs, smiles and tears, and everything else!
1 & 2 - Hosted a masterclass at in Mumbai! Had a great time, and met up with a lot of people in Bombay
3 - Said Goodbye to my first car ever! 4 years ago I bought this beast with my hard earned savings and it was extremely difficult to bid farewell to it!
4 - Life came full circle when my school invited me to deliver a talk and motivate students at our school auditorium (it was actually in September😅, but I am not sure I will do this dump on a monthly basis :P and the invitation came in in august)
5. After 4 years of trials, failures, blood, sweat and tears I finally mastered the art of making the perfect croissants, and hosted an upgraded masterclass on the same!! So proud to say that croissants aren’t my nemesis anymore 😂
6. Although, I don’t share personal stuff with y’all normally, but this felt too close to me to skip, we’re moving! Shifting has been so stressful and nostalgic, feels like a lot is changing in a short span of time!
7. Finished shooting for my biggest project till date! I can’t relieve it as of now, but I’ll keep you posted ❤️
8. My first book which I wrote in class 8,9 and 10th! 🙈 too embarrassing but still a part of me. Found a copy while packing our entire house into boxes.
9. 8-8-8
10. Every Sunday we play cricket at a turf, 3 weeks back I severely injured my ribs after I dove to catch a ball 🙈 (adulting is real). And I haven’t been able to workout or do anything since then. But getting back to it slowly. I’m almost back to normal now!❤️
Honestly, this felt like TMI, but I feel I don’t share anything about my personal life with y’all, and these small and big things were too important to skip!
Shall I do this every month?
We have just reached 25K followers! Thank you for continuing support.

Spent 1/2 day in Al seef and saw the frame! Good experience overall!
Went to the most iconic Starbucks ever, at Al seef!
Tried camel meat for the first time, and totally loved it 😍
6 years of content creation 🥰
On this day, 6 years ago, I created a page on Instagram called “nagpuritadka”, and that small decision changed my life forever!
A lot of things have happened ever since, I normally put up a long caption on this day, but today I’d just like to say that I feel very grateful for everything that I have received, all the love, milestones, achievements, and lots more!
So thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for your lovely wishes ❤️

Happy world macaron day 🥳🫶❤️
I have made thousands of macarons over the past 5 years, not kidding! And these finicky little things are one of the best pastries in the world 🌎 (that’s why there’s an entire day dedicated to them 😂)
I have conducted tens of workshops on these, eaten about hundreds of these, and taken orders for thousands of these, but they don’t bore me one bit! That’s something for sure :)
I have shot macarons sooo many times in these years, so thought of sharing few of my favourite pictures (that I could find) with y’all!
Which of these 10 pictures would you say is the best?
Wish you all a very happy and colourful Holi 🥳🫶

Travel as Much as possible in ‘23! 🥰
Sharing a montage of the countries I visited in ‘22!
What’s your dream destination? 😁
Here’s to 2022 🍻
This year has been a roller coaster ride; in every way! When I look back I realise so many great things happened in the last 365 days, but it was definitely one of the most difficult phases of my life at the same time.
But here’s to looking at the bright side, listing 10 of my favourite experiences from 2022 like every year!
1. Travelling! Covid taught us how underrated travel can be, and I travelled to 5 different countries and had the time of my life for sure ❤️🙌🏻
2. Getting the possession of my first ever flat, which my brother and I purchased from our own hard earned money!
3. Being nominated for a prestigious award for the first time 🥰Manifesting to win one super soon!
4. Building my dream studio, which was something that I wanted to do since years 😄
5. Ticking off too many bucket list things to do like learning how to ride a horse, hot air balloon ride, sea plane ride, driving a cruise 🤪, sandboarding, experiencing business class, helicopter ride(again), experiencing hot springs for the first time, trekking on an active volcano & learning SURFING!
6. Most importantly, working on my mental & physical health, I feel so much better than last year overall! Successfully left sugar for over a year and lost over 12 kgs 😇
7. Achieving my financial goals! If someone told me how much I can achieve financially 2 years back, I would have laughed at them. But I have much bigger goals for 2023 and I am just getting started!
8. Collaborating with a ton of prestigious brands, creators and people! This was definitely the year of collaborations for me🥰
9. Finally building a basic online presence on other platforms like Pinterest, Facebook and YouTube! If you’re not following me there, you’re missing out :P
Not to mention crushing the IG game by reaching 260k followers and several of my videos crossing 1m+ views ☺️
10. Getting featured on many many publications, online magazines, and media.
Just want to say lastly that I don’t mean to rub any of this in anyone’s face 😊this is just 1 side of the coin, and I think we should never compare ourselves with anyone online! Have a happy new year ❤️🫶

📍Fort Canning Park, Singapore
Always feels good to be back to 🇸🇬
Exactly 6 years ago, I was at this exact spot with my mom dad on my first ever international trip, a college kid clueless about what to do in life! How time flies :’)
Singapore will always be special for me, as it was the first country I visited!
