Out with the huskies
Silence. The only sounds that can be heard are paws scrunching on the snow and a sled gliding over icy tracks. All around it’s endlessly white. Snowcapped mountains in the distance, frozen lakes and ice crystals in the trees. Stars shining from above and their reflection on the snow. Face stiff and with every blink you feel your frozen eyelashes brushing your cheeks. Completely vulnerable, exposed to the elements with only a few layers separating you from a white death. And still full of trust and at ease because of these twelve souls safely carrying you back home. A shared look between you and your lead dog, a quick command and the entire team turns in unison. You push the sled around and you know; you have nothing to worry about as long as you’re together. And your dogs know the same. They’re out here, loving it. The cold, the exercise, the smells, the speed. But they also know, you keep them safe. You know where to go, when to stop and when to return. It’s a connection you’ll never have again. Not with any dog and definitely not with any human. It’s special and unique and it shows you that maybe, that’s what we’re actually made for. For something primitive. Something simple. And natural.

Leaving Africa Made Me Realize How Lucky I Am To Be African
Out of nowhere, the tears began to flow. They took me by surprise. "Bye Dad," I whispered as I fixed my eyes on the Helderberg Mountains. I began sobbing quietly as the plane shifted and the Hottentots-Holland Range came into view. We had scattered my father's ashes there months prior. His soul was now at rest in the mountains that made him so happy for two decades.

The Ridiculously Cute Squirrels of the Taj Mahal. Top Story - February 2025.
There are a lot of rules about what you can and can't do and bring in to the Taj Mahal, but nature won't be governed. While there, I saw a cat (a surprisingly rare sight in Agra, compared to Mumbai - but maybe I just wasn't there long enough), a dog, several pink-bummed monkeys and hundreds of these tiny, pretty squirrels.
