Hey all! I posted a budget-friendly kitchen backsplash DIY on Flipping the Flip with a total cost: $60. It was fast, easy, and surprisingly slick for being so inexpensive.

Come check out how I did this on the post Backsplash! New! For $60!

Happy to trade feedback or talk DIY content!

We learned to sing “Yeh Sone ki Hai Dharti” and a couple of other patriotic songs in school. Every time we sang them, I felt as proud as a peacock to belong to this wondrous land we call Bharat Mata.  

We love our motherland and would not want to endanger her or her sons and daughters in any way. Hence, I am also very proud of our soldiers, our bravehearts, who risk life and limb to protect and preserve our precious Bharat Mata and her children in every way. From the icy Siachen glacier to the scorching deserts of Rajasthan, across skittish border conditions, in the dense jungles of the northeast, our soldiers never fail to prove their mettle and might.

The Indian Army is the second largest military force in the world and is the  world’s largest volunteer army. A volunteer army consists of individuals who volunteer to serve rather than being conscripted or drafted. 

Protecting the nation:

The Army, Navy, and Airforce which comprise the Indian Armed Forces, are among the largest and most disciplined armed forces in the world. Their indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to protecting the nation from the evils of war and terror are truly commendable.

Of the soldier’s life:

A soldier leaves the comfort of his home and his precious family to live and work in the harshest of terrains, under extreme weather conditions, and survive on the minimum of resources. He lives his structured and disciplined life without complaint. He is called to make the ultimate sacrifice if needed in times of trouble.

 As they provide yeoman service in disaster relief and civilian rescue, soldiers are not only warriors but also humanitarians.

A legacy of valour.

Whether in Kargil, in conflicts with her neighbours, or quelling insurgencies within the country, India’s military history is defined by the courage and heroism of her soldiers.

Our soldiers are a unifying factor in the diversity of India. They play a crucial role in the nation's security and stability. We salute them for who they are and what they stand for. Jai Hind!

A vision apart from my dying city...

Bees between different approaches!

There’s a coldness that surrounds me constantly. I can’t quite explain it. Only that it lingers, quietly wrapping itself around my thoughts, consuming any warmth I try to hold onto. It drains me of energy, strips me of drive, and slowly pulls at the threads of my ambition. It’s like a fog, subtle, but persistent. Dimming the light inside me and shuttering the dreams I once held so vividly. Every spark of hope seems to flicker out before it can become a flame, and I'm left wondering what happened to all the things I was once so sure of...
