Meet @adeelasdiary and Ami. Adeela mailed me a few Meet @adeelasdiary and Ami. Adeela mailed me a few months ago saying to call her if I ever come to #Mirpur. My first day there started badly actually. So, I decided to try and change my luck by randomly calling this person who'd mailed me. I didn't have any idea if it's a girl or boy, age, nothing.  Two days later and I feel like her older brother.  You are all going to love Adeela in my Mirpur vlog. We search for 2 long lost Lord Shiva Temples. जय भोले की.  Thank you so much to Adeela and Ami for welcoming me to their family and InshAllah @iammanishamalik and I can help make your dream come true to visit Ajmer Sharif Dargah in Rajasthan 🇮🇳❤️
Patni and Saali twinning beautifully in the phiran Patni and Saali twinning beautifully in the phirans I got them. I love #Kashmiri clothing and designs. Besides Cashmere wool, #Kashmir is known for this type of flowery embroidery too. Mens styles are more simple, but they do make large woolen phirans (very long baggy shirt) which you wear overtop of your Salwar Kameez to keep warm in winter.  #style #manishamalik #fashion #fashionblogger
You've met my Mother a few times in my family vlog You've met my Mother a few times in my family vlogs. She's quiet infront of the camera though. She's the heart of our family. Always there for you and always laughing and singing.  Whenever I return home after travels she makes me my favourite Aloo Paratha. I make her Chai daily when I'm at home with her. She doesn't speak English, so she is part of my motivation to become fluent in #Hindi.  She's from a small village in the Churu region of #Rajasthan, which borders with #Haryana. For the last 2 years I have had the privilege of living with her in North-West Delhi. After marriage, as is custom in India, she became my Mother too.  And it's more than just "Mother-in-Law." In India, your Parents-in-Law literally take you on as their son or daughter. I didn't understand this properly until we got married. That's the great strength of the Indian Family. If you have a family that loving, strong, and supportive, you can do anything in life. ❤️  By profession she is a #housewife. I often think housewives aren't given the respect they deserve. Their work should be given the upmost respect. So thank you to all the housewives out there who dedicate their lives to their families 🙏  I'm waiting for my next Aloo Paratha and Chai with Maa.  Jai Hind 🇮🇳  This photo shows how her cross stitch style suit from #Pakistan came out after stitching. Photo by @aast_ha22
