🇺🇸🤗My GANPATI Festival in India 🇮🇳❤️ My first-ever GANPATI Festival experience in INDIA has been a rollercoaster of emotions, and the highlight has been the incredible warmth and hospitality of the locals. 🙏🏡❤️ From the moment I arrived, it felt like every INDIAN around me was on a mission to make me feel at home. They patiently explained the significance of every ritual, shared their prasad with me, and even let me watch some bhajans!🍚🎵 I was blown away by the way complete strangers opened their hearts and homes to me during the festivities. It’s true what they say – “Atithi Devo Bhava” (The guest is God). 🏡🙌 This experience has not only been about GANPATI but also a heartwarming reminder of the incredible people and culture I’ve encountered in INDIA. 🌟🇺🇸🤝🇮🇳 #india #ganpatibappamorya #mumbai #tourist

🌟 Level: Hindi MASTER! I decided to add “Hindi NINJA” to my resume! 🇮🇳📚 Pronunciation? Nailed it. Conversations involing me saying my name? Like a BOSS!😎🗣️ Navigating local markets and asking how much fruit costs without knowing the name of the fruit? EASY PIECEY!🥮 I haggle so GOOD it’s like the shop keepers and I are speaking different languages!💪🛒 P.S. Ready to be mind-blown? Hit me up for a lesson or two in the fine art of Hindi excellence! 🤓🤙 But really, how was my Hindi this time?… #hindi #india #language #joke
BOILING♨️ in INDIA 🇮🇳 I knew I was a SPOILED American🇺🇸 but not that I was spoiled by the WEATHER🌤 too!😆 Not many places in America get as HOT🔥and HUMID in India! No wonder Indians are so chill🧘♂️… They are too exhausted from the weather to get angry!😆 #india #travel #american #hot
Lots of FALLS!😆 I’ve been a stuntman🎬for over 15 years, and I’ve fallen a lot. Like, a lot. I’ve broken bones🦴, bruised my ribs, and even had several concussions🥴. But you know what? I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Falling is part of being a stuntman. It’s what we do. And even though it hurts sometimes, it’s also a lot of fun. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of flying through the air, or landing a perfect stunt.😃🥂 So next time you see a stuntman fall, don’t feel sorry for them. Just smile and know that they’re doing what they love🎥 #stuntman #acting #fall #fail
