Meet Momo. She started coming to our gate every day for food. She’d eat, rest for a while at our entrance, and then leave… only to come back again the next day.

That became her little daily routine.

Then one day, it was pouring outside, and we just couldn’t leave her out in the rain. So we decided to let her in, gave her some dinner, and let her stay for a while.

And just look at her after that. 😂
Sitting there like a boss lady who had finally found her peace. No worries, no rush to leave… just food, warmth, and a comfortable place to sleep.
I guess she decided our house wasn’t just a food stop anymore. ❤️🐶

This was my first time seeing Tehri Lake, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect.
What amazed me the most was learning that this wasn’t always a lake. There was a whole town here before the dam was built, and as the reservoir filled, the old Tehri town was submerged.

Standing here and looking at how far the water stretches between the mountains was surreal. It’s such a beautiful place, but knowing there are so many memories and stories beneath the water makes it feel different.

It really makes you think about how much a place can change over time.

This was my first time visiting Kashmir, and I honestly wasn’t prepared for this view. We were on the way to the Kargil War Memorial when we came across this, and for a few moments, I just couldn’t believe I was looking at a real place.
The mountains, the valley, the little stream winding through the rocks—it felt almost unreal, like something out of a movie. I remember just staring at it through the window, completely quiet, trying to take it all in.

It was one of those rare moments where you forget about everything else for a while. No thoughts about work, plans, or anything waiting back home. Just me, the mountains, and this feeling of “how is this even real? “
Kashmir really did feel like another world that day. ❤️

A few weeks ago, this little guy showed up at our doorstep one night. He was tiny, scared, and clearly had nowhere to go. We couldn’t just leave him there, so we brought him inside, gave him some food, a warm place to sleep, and slowly gained his trust.

We ended up keeping him, and now he’s officially part of our family. ❤️
We named him Momo. He came to our doorstep as a stranger, but somehow it feels like he found his way home. 🥹🐶

For those of you who’ve rescued or adopted a dog, tell me your story too — how did it feel in the beginning, and do you have any advice for someone who’s just starting this journey? 🐾
