#republicday2020 Happy Republic Day to all my fellow Indians! Home to some of the world’s most ancient civilizations, India’s history is as rich as the number of communities, traditions, languages and cuisines. . . While we often celebrate our rich fabric, let us vow to keep any minor tears and scars at bay. . . Let us vow to celebrate the diversity of our country and annihilate fanaticism, dictatorship and extremism. . . Let us vow to make India a gender equal society and not be known as a country of horrendous crimes. . . Let us vow to make India a country of conversation and debate, rather than be shackled in the chains of medievalism and ignorance. . . Let us vow to be Indians who make India great, and not rest on the sacrifices of a few. . . I am a proud Indian and I am not afraid to tackle those head on who want to take my country back into the dark ages. What about you? 🇮🇳 ✊#vandemataram #proudindian

#goodfoodguide In many parts of the world, a healthy appetite is an indicator of a happy life. A full platter of food is a sign of prosperity and wealth. . . Unfortunately, now a healthy lifestyle is misinterpreted as a punishment and penance. Instead of running after fad diets and calorie counting, embrace holistic living. Not only do you practice fitness, but you also nourish your body with a plethora of colors, tastes and smells. Food empowers your body, mind, heart and soul. Don’t treat food like your enemy. . . Life is beautiful. Live it to the fullest. Don’t wallow in self-pity, insecurity and misery. And go ahead, and check out these delicious spreads from L’ETO Caffe. 😍 #veggieworld . . Arabic Platter: Aubergine Yoghurt, Halloumi Cheese, Hummus, Flat Bread, Fava Beans and Sweet Tomatoes. . . Lebanese Bowl: House Falafel, Bulgur, Hummus, Avocado, Rocket Leaves, Labneh Yoghurt, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Beetroot Sauce . . Pasta Al Pomodoro & Burrata: Garnished with Basil and Nut Free . . French Toast: With a Banana Jam, topped with Strawberries and fresh Labneh on the side. . . So, who’s hungry? 😛😛😛

#indianbeauty One of the most beautiful and delicate parts of an Indian woman’s shringar (traditional attire/adornment) is the jewelry of the feet. The “Cham-Cham” of anklets has been featured in many Bollywood songs for its romantic and sensual appeal. Here, the payal (anklets) and bichiya (toe rings) are from the Chowri Bazaar of Jaipur, India. Like a lot of Indian jewelry, Jaipur artisans have also seen the influence of ancient India as well as foreign invasions. So, one can discover a diversity of designs to choose from. . . Also, thanks to Tips and Toes for the amazing vegan pedicure. My feet feel and look amazing! And I am loving my “Cham-Cham”! ❤️ #feelingbeautiful #citizensoftnt

#incredibleindiaofficial January in India marks the start of the winter harvest festivals like Lohri, Makar Sakranti and Pongal. They celebrate the shift in the sun’s position, marking the start of longer daylight hours. Each festival marks a different community’s way of giving thanks to Lord Surya, the sun god, and welcoming the prospect of a good harvest. On this occasion, Amma has made South India’s famous sweet Rava Kesari. This hot dessert is great for winters and is primarily made of rava (semolina/sooji). Dry fruits like cashewnuts, pistachios, almonds and raisins are dry roasted in ghee. Condiments include jaggery (substitute for sugar), cardamom powder and saffron threads. #indiandessert #vegetarianlife
