Small, beautiful moments on a bike ride ☕🏍️
You stop at a random roadside shop and watch bhujia go from the kadhai into your hands, still hot and crackling. Then comes a glass of chai, and for a few minutes nothing else matters.
Every place has its own version of garm garm bhujia. No itinerary, no plan, just the road and whatever it serves you next.
Build • Wander • Be.

Some journeys are measured in kilometers. Others in devotion.

₹80,000–₹1 lakh. That’s what one family said four flight tickets home cost this Chhath. ✈️

So many are choosing the road instead, with reports of people driving to Bihar from Delhi, Haryana and Bengaluru. 🚗🛺

Not for a holiday. For a ghat, a river, and a rising sun. 🌅

Faith may not remove every obstacle. But it gives people the strength to keep looking for a way through.

That devotion for Chhathi Maiya is so powerful. 🙏

What’s the longest journey you’ve made to be with someone you love? 👇

@IND__Sweety Wow that's some kind of creativity and efforts

🚆✈️ Getting Nagand from Delhi ?

By Air – Two options:
1. Via Dimapur: Fly from Delhi to Dimapur, directly if available or via a connecting airport. Dimapur is Nagaland's primary air gateway.
2. Via Guwahati: Fly from Delhi to Guwahati. From there, hire a taxi or take a train towards Dimapur, followed by a road journey to Kohima. This is another convenient option, depending on flight availability and fares.
By Train:
Take a train from New Delhi to Dimapur. Dibrugarh Rajdhani (20504) is one option. Expect a long journey, so plan accordingly.

A suggested 7-day itinerary:
📍 Day 1–2: Kohima – Explore Kohima War Cemetery and Kisama Heritage Village.
🌿 Day 3: Khonoma – Visit Asia's first Green Village and experience Angami culture.
⛰️ Day 4: Dzükou Valley – Trek through its beautiful landscapes.
🏡 Day 5: Mokokchung & Longkhum – Experience Ao Naga culture, traditions and stunning hill views.
🌄 Day 6: Mon & Longwa – Discover Konyak heritage and the fascinating village where the India–Myanmar border passes through the village chief's house.
✈️ Day 7: Return via Assam – Travel towards Dibrugarh and catch a flight or train back to Delhi instead of travelling all the way back to Dimapur.

A few important things to remember:
• ILP (Inner Line Permit) is mandatory for Indian visitors from outside Nagaland. Apply online before travelling: https://t.co/44BN6jL3Nk
• Carry valid government photo ID.
• Arrange local transport in advance, especially for Mon and Longwa.
• Keep buffer time for hilly roads and unpredictable weather.
• Check trekking conditions and local permissions before visiting Dzükou Valley.
My suggestion: If you have limited time, fly into Dimapur and return from Dibrugarh. If flights to Dimapur are expensive, consider flying to Guwahati and travelling onwards by road or train.

Nagaland is best experienced slowly. Take time to explore its people, culture, food and breathtaking landscapes. 🌿

Many cultures. Many languages. Many identities. One nation.

India isn't defined by uniformity, but by the beautiful diversity that brings us together. 🇮🇳

Proud of this incredible diversity.

Do you know...
𝑵𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 1 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑩𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕 !!

Eight states and five Union Territories mark their formation or key milestones on this single date - a powerful reminder of how Bharat was reorganised after Independence to reflect linguistic identities, regional aspirations, and administrative realities.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟖 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬

- 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐫𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐡 (𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟔)
Bharat’s first major linguistic state, formed by merging Andhra with Telugu-speaking areas of Hyderabad.

- 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐚 (𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟔, 𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐞)
Uniting Kannada-speaking regions; celebrated as Rajyotsava

- 𝐊𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐚 (𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟔)
Formed by merging Travancore-Cochin with Malabar; known as Kerala Piravi

- 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐡𝐲𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐡 (𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟔)
Reorganised under the States Reorganisation Act

- 𝐓𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥 𝐍𝐚𝐝𝐮 (𝟏𝟗𝟓𝟔, 𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐬)
Later renamed; marks the linguistic reorganisation

- 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐚 & 𝐏𝐮𝐧𝐣𝐚𝐛 (𝟏𝟗𝟔𝟔)
Created/reorganised under the Punjab Reorganisation Act on linguistic lines

- 𝐂𝐡𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐡 (𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟎)
Carved out of Madhya Pradesh as India’s 26th state

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟓 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬

Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Delhi, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry (which also observes Liberation Day / De Facto Transfer Day on November 1, marking the 1954 handover from French administration).

Most of these changes were driven by the 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝑹𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑨𝒄𝒕 𝒐𝒇 1956, which redrew Bharat’s map largely along linguistic lines, a defining moment in the country’s federal evolution.

From cultural celebrations like Karnataka’s Rajyotsava to tributes across Andhra, Kerala, Punjab, Haryana, and beyond, November 1 celebrates both unity and diversity.

@PratibhaPriyad3 A beautiful reminder that India's strength lies in its diversity. 🇮🇳

Every state has its own identity, language and culture, yet together they contribute to one incredible nation. Unity in diversity is not just an idea; it's India's living story. 🙏

Eating with my hands for 30 years: no problem. 🤲😎
Holding two sticks for 6 seconds: big problem. 🥢😵
So I asked, "Who did this to us?" 🤔
📍 It started in China, about 5,000 years ago. Chopsticks were developed about 5,000 years ago in China.
🍲 At first, they were not for eating. They were mainly cooking tools, used to take food out of hot pots without burning fingers.
🥢 Later, they came to the dining table. Food was cut into small pieces, so chopsticks became the easiest tool to use.
🧘 Even Confucius played a part. He was a vegetarian, and he reportedly said knives should not be used at the table because they remind people of the slaughterhouse.
🌏 Then they spread. By 500 AD, they had reached Korea, Vietnam and Japan. Japan and China use them the most today.
Meanwhile, my fingers: 100% success with dal-chawal. 🍛✅
Respect to everyone who eats noodles with chopsticks like it's nothing. 🙏🍜
Indians who survived chopsticks, share your trick! 👇😄

Found this on a roadside dhaba wall, between the smell of chai and the sound of passing trucks. 🍵
"Good vibes only."
Three words, painted by someone who probably never thought about branding. And it's better positioning than most startups manage in a 40-slide deck.
No Wi-Fi. No app. No menu QR code. Just a wall that tells you how to behave and a cup of chai that backs it up.
Out here, positivity isn't a mindset. It's the default setting.
What's the best sign you've ever seen on a roadside stop? 👇

150 grams. 23 countries. One year. And they flew back to the same corner of Manipur. 🦅
Satellite-tagged Amur falcons Apapang and Alang are home. Now they’ll feed on termites in Tamenglong to build fat reserves before the next non-stop flight toward Somalia, which took them about 6,000 km in 6 days last time.
What made this possible? A tiny satellite tag, scientists following the data, and villagers who chose to protect these birds. It’s a community-led conservation effort.
Science, technology and community, working together. 🌍
Did you know Northeast India hosts one of the world’s great raptor stopovers? 👇

[GPlus @guwahatiplus]

NEWS | Two satellite-tagged #Amurfalcons, #Apapang and #Alang, have returned to #Manipur after travelling across 23 countries, completing their nearly year-long tracking journey, Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav said on Friday, October 23.

Rice flour. Jaggery. A pinch of black pepper. 🤎
That's all it takes to make Poka Mithoi, and somehow it holds a whole childhood.
Roasted rice flour bound with warm jaggery syrup, rolled into little round balls. Sweet first, then a quiet warmth of pepper at the end. Nothing loud, nothing fancy. Just a flavour that makes you pause.
In many Assamese homes and namghars, sweets like this are more than food. They're offering, gratitude, and the feeling of being home.
Some flavours aren't made in kitchens. They're made in memories.
What's the one Assamese sweet that takes you back? 👇

Incidents like this highlight the urgent need for greater awareness and respect for India's Northeast. Calling a fellow Indian "Chinese," harassing him because of his appearance, or touching him inappropriately is completely unacceptable. People from Tripura and the Northeast are every bit as Indian as anyone else. Ignorance can never be an excuse for discrimination or mistreatment. Every Indian deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued, regardless of their ethnicity, background, or appearance. We need more empathy, understanding, and unity, not prejudice and division.
@DelhiPolice hope you take strict actions against the person involved.

Some roads don’t just take you places… they make you fall in love with the journey. 🌿🏍️

A stretch of NH-15 through Lakhimpur, Assam... blue skies above, green trees all around, and the simple joy of moving forward with no rush.

Sometimes, all you need is an open road, a little sunshine, and a moment to feel alive. 💚
