HEAVEN ON EARTH

The trails could be crooked, winding and dangerous but ultimately leading to the most amazing view. The best of all surprises nature can offer you. Heaven on Earth…..just serene and magical

OUTDOORS

Real freedom is in nature, not in civilization. Becoming the best person by growing up in the open air

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to accept changes, slowly and steadily making each day a better yourself.

MIGHTY

In life, inspiration can come from many different sources.

The moon, the sun, the stars and the clouds, all will speak directly to your soul. I have often experienced the watching the clouds fills our mind with optimism, peace, dreams, strengths above all it connect us with atmosphere and universe as a whole while our feet still on the ground.

WELL DONE

These days I sincerely try to work out. I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I try to eat right, choosing diets………………..just before getting the steak well done, coz am working out my mind; not body. I need to prioritize taking care of my mind, having fun and doing things that make me happy.

OH BOY

You don’t raise heroes, let them test their wings. The years will rush by, and one day you will be watching your son as a man, and feeling incredibly proud that he is caring, safe, making a contribution, and hopefully going far beyond you in the scope of his life. Parenting is a blessing, enjoy every bit of it.

THE ALPHA

For me wilderness is a place of encounter with the Creator, a place to get pumped up with inspiration, freshness & a place to satisfy my soul

This post is dedicated to the World Wilderness Day 3rd March

“The hardest walk you can make, is the walk you make alone. But that is the walk that makes you The Strongest & Toughest”

This Alpha bull elephant turned out during one of our safari in Bandipur Reserve Forest. His appearance was so magnificent, actions so intimidating and powerful. His message was so clear that nothing moves beyond his commands

BEAUTY OUTSIDE BEAST INSIDE

The first thing that should come in to your mind when you confront with a fly inside your house is to terminate it, they can be helpful outside the house but never inside.

If you ever thought its coming on our dishes to eat food, then you probably should know it lives on a liquid diet, simply because they don’t have teeth in mouth. Obviously they taste their interests with feet, and their tastes & interests are around rotting flesh, poops & garbage. Sadly it vomits certain acids on your food to dissolve your food so that it can suck it up. Yes unfortunately super disgusting.

HGL Fly

Now how to deal with them:

  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • A table spoon of liquid dish wash
  • A jar
  • Plastic wrap
  • Toothpick

Pour the apple cider vinegar in to a jar, mix it up with liquid dish wash and stretch a plastic wrap and puncture it with toothpick. Place it you may find needed. Now let the strong fermentation smell and stimulus light do the magic, just wait until the jar gets crowded to clean it.

SPIRIT OF TUSCANY

There is a beautiful composition between nature & civilization in this unique part of world called Tuscany in Italy
Cypress-lined driveways, the lyrical landscapes, vine-clad hills, countless wineries, historic towns, medieval villages, rustic farms, country churches; there are no better components to cater to the beauty of Tuscany. But the rhyme of the region is not complete with the spirit of the people and their responsibility & commitment to mother nature.

COMPACT BUT CONFIDENT

This tiny creature has a lot to teach us. Its important to stand confident. Survival tactics are not taught but learned. Faithful and diligent perseverance in a task against all odds and challenge will eventually bring success and significant reward

MISSION IMPIZZABLE…


There are no WE with PIZZA in hand.
At home my wife bakes 100% whole wheat cheesy pizza. Perhaps the only times we disagree on sharing. Yes its almost impizzable.

HGL Pizza Slice


– The First Pizza Is Thought to Be Invented in Naples During the Early 1500s
– The First Documented Pizzeria in the World Was Opened in Port’Alba in Naples, Italy During the Late 1800s
– The most expensive pizza in the world, tastefully called Louis XIII, is in Italy. It’s topped with lobster, buffalo mozzarella, three types of caviar, squilla mantis (a Mediterranean shrimp), and pink Australian salt. Currently, this pizza costs €8,300

THE FREEDOM FLIGHT

Travelling is one expression of the desire to cross boundaries. Physical, psychological, personal and geographical whatever it is just don’t set limits. Keep pushing and challenge yourself. It’s definite that you will reach a state that is sincere, respectful and proudly you have attained the liberty to pursuit of happiness and self accomplishment.

7000 miles nonstop flight, 60 Miles per hour, at an altitude of 37,000 feet above sea level

Yes, certain birds do that. Because they know no boundaries and knowledge is all instinctive and natural.; the sun, moon, stars, earth’s magnetism and above all necessity.

MIGHTY CANVAS

I am inspired by anything beautiful. When I admire the wonders of a sunset, my soul rise admiring the divine stroke of a mighty creator. One of those awesome moments we feel so tiny & that BIG as we are one of his creations.

Our whole life is not enough to enjoy the beauty of life to the fullest, isn’t that weird we are all struggling to complete it with just achievements

THE CALL OF MOUNTAINS

When you go to the mountains, you see them and you admire them. In a sense, they give you a challenge; you try to express that by accepting the call of nature and venturing on to them. And then deep inside nature set up the greatest magic happening for you to witness at its glory.

BLACK FOREST

If fantasies, fairy tales, dense evergreen forests, thick woods, ferocious bear & wolf were all a part of your childhood stories; imagine the moment you happen to be in this place. The feel is so intense that you just can’t resist the deep but slow electric shock waves passing through your spine while getting to realize that experiencing and accepting the fact that our fantasies are sometimes entertaining, distracting & even frightening………….feeling the presence of a bear in those thick woods didn’t allowed me to share my state of dejavu to my dudes who were rather excited & busy exploring. Perhaps I allowed ourselves to get indulged to nature as true, original and thrilling it could be.

MISTY WOODS


That mist was magical, the wind was wild yet the woods were surprisingly still. Yes we were witnessing the awesome composition of nature at its best.

During our epic Europe road trip we came across this beautiful place in Austria on the way back to Italy. Although we were rushing to pass the woods before dark, this place pulled us back only to get lost in vagueness taking away all our worries and touched our souls so deeply. Yes it is important to pay attention to those Golden Moments in life where even time freezes in your favor.

LAKES & MOUNTAINS

This typical Alpine lake is so mesmerizing that you will love to get lost in a unique transition.

The lake is named after a tiny little village of Brienz in Interlaken, Switzerland. The lakes & mountains frames the perfect landscape of this cute village.

WILD GREEN LIZARD

What I learned from a lizard:

  • Soak up some sun, I mean fun
  • Snap up opportunities
  • Be a colorful character
  • Appreciate stillness
  • Keep a low profile
  • Shred your old ways
  • Be dashing…..

HGL Green Anole Lizard

Wild & aggressive, yet friendly same time the Green Anoles are more close to iguanas. They can change colors and move their eyes individually & independently like chameleons. It makes no sound and is considered as one of the most popular exotic pet but yet an expensive choice as they need utmost care.

FLYING HIGH

For me it’s not always those movies and nap during flight. Take off & landings are beautiful through window, between the clouds and above the clouds are gorgeous. Sunrise, sunset and the moon adds magic to the trip, hunt them down through your lenses.

Flying Tips:
• Always take your ideal seats well ahead of flight
• While dressing focus has to be comfortable on the plane, avoid many layers except a jacket in handy in case
• Keep your hand carry as light as possible
• Many prefer their shoes off once seated, hence wooly or thick socks and easy-to-slip-on shoes will make you more comfortable
• Hand Sanitizer, make good use of them
• Food table/tray & leaflets in seat pockets let those bacteria sleep 
• The air in the cabin isn’t humidified; make sure to drink at least a quart of water for every four hours in the air
• Ideally a glass of wine could give you a good sleep after meal, in flight its not a bar to get knocked off
• Earplugs and an eye mask can be handy at long flights
• Finally, if you have a baby; Breastfeed or bottle-feed your baby on take-off and landing. The swallowing will help prevent that uncomfortable ear popping.

MIRROR MIRROR

Life is a mirror, and will reflects what we think about it.
This is the best logic you can think of, to make sure we move forward…
