When your lens is broken but you still keep some hopes from 70-200 kit lens to capture something and managed to snap this shot 😅
Started driving from vegas to austin, but to get some views of solar eclipse and give it a shot to capture it with whatever lens I had took a detour to west grand canyons and managed to view this phenomenon with some amazing views 😁

When you are in Chicago and not prepared for un forecasted thunder storms ⚡️⚡️

P.S: I woke up at 4 in the morning and noticed thunderstorms. I was too lazy to step out, so I shot from the window and hence the nets in the images 😅 but got pretty dope thunders

⛈️⚡️⚡️

Valley of fire 😍😍
What a place to be at 🔥🔥
It was 110° F on the day, but had to choose that day and got some nice alone time to enjoy the vistas.

Taking the next steps towards adventure 🔥😎
I'm hoping to justify the name "desi_musaffir" 🤘🏽
Wanna live these lines so badly:
"Musafir hoon yaroon, na ghar hai na thikana, mujhe chalte jaana hai..."

Better never give up. A day after full moon 🤩

Got perfect weather condition last night and worth the watch 😍
That helicopter is like cherry on top in this frame 😁

🤘🏽

There is a perfect song for this frame:
"Chaand chuppa badal mein" 😜

Moon was feeling bit shy in Vegas today 😛😅
But a view to watch though, moon rising over Stratosphere 🤩
Amid all the thunder clouds happening around the moon, showed a glimpse of it creating a nice dramatic frame.
P.S: When you miss space needle too much during full moon 😛😛🤣

🤘🏽

Lost amidst the majestic peaks, I rediscover the rhythm of my heart, beating with the love for mountains. It's time to lace up and conquer new summits. ♥️♥️

P.S: It's always a nostalgic trip whenever viewing the first mountain climb 😍

Half Dome 🤩
One amazing piece of rock on this planet 🤘🏽😍
It's still one of the craziest climbs i have done so far.
One can not easily get over the beauty of Yosemite National Park 🤩

P.S: Photo collection just taking back to those memories 🧗‍♂️

Kiddos in the house enjoying their first cherry blossom season 🤩🥰🌸
It was perfect bloom, and both kiddos were super excited and anxiously viewing this beauty 😁

Mt Shuksan 😍🤩

2. Some pottery skills
3. Old sewing techniques

You can experience all this at , Jaipur, a fun and happening family place. They have an entire village experience setup.

🤘🏽

Insides of Jaipur City palace, which is one the priciest tour I have done so far.

So when you visit Jaipur City Palace, there are two tours, one which just takes you to the outer periphery of the palace and the other one, which takes you to the insides, which covers below parts of the palace

1. An entire room made of gold - Shobha Niwas
2. Room studded with mirrors - Rang Mandir
3. Sukh Niwas

Jaipur City Palace 👌🏽

Discovering the history and heritage of Jaipur's royalty at the City Palace. 💫

P.S. Truly, what i would say is i went with the expectation of Udaipur City Palace, which is a completely different experience. The tour to the upper palace is very expensive and probably not that worth the expense. But still a grandeur palace and showcases heritage.

🏰

Sunset views from hometown, the streets where you have spent the maximum days of your life hits differently 😍

26.2 miles (42 kms), 5hrs 25 mins 🔥🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

Remember, the feeling you get from doing certain things are far better than feeling you get just sitting around and thinking about it 🤘🏽
Whattt an amazing experience running a marathon, where initial miles are driven by passion and enthusiasm, then the training and strength in your legs and then comes the most critical part the mind and soul to keep on going to see that finish line ❤️

Shoutout to one and only who inspired us to signup for this marathon 🤘🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🔥

P.S: fun fact and some wisdom words from a friend of mine:
Be proud as at the finish line you are going to be part of the less than 1% population in US ~._.8 😜

#26.2 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️
