Such a beautiful animal. Tigers 🐅 your number one status might slip a bit.

Another 12 of the big cats are expected to join the group next month from South Africa amid hopes the population will eventually reach 40.

RIP our beautiful Queen Elizabeth II.

Not only do I specialise in bespoke tours to India and help people arrange their tourist and business visas, but during lockdown I also became an artist. This painting is very special to me, painted in her majesty’s platinum year 2022 as a gift to my Neice. Winsor & Newton professional Watercolour on Arches paper.

Thank you for your unwavering service. You will be greatly missed. OM Shanti

The news we are hearing in the UK about India is heartbreaking. As the owner of Mystic India I know a lot of people in India. I am praying that you are all keeping safe and for those that have lost family members and friends to this vicious virus, my heart goes out to you. I have many followers of my company page and of course a lot I don’t know. For all my Indian followers here in the UK and in India, be strong, be safe, be careful. Stay at home, dont risk it. Om Shanti to those that have sadly died. God Bless you all.

Hi page followers. Still nothing happening on the holiday front so for the past 7 months I’ve discovered a small talent I had at school and have returned to art after 40 plus years. Here are a few paintings I’ve done with an Indian theme. Further to this, I shall be posting later today a request for my followers based in the UK 🇬🇧. Watch this space.
