Tara. 20, Indian, lit major studying in Singapore.
Reader of books. Drinker of tea. Expert at sleep, stress and snark.
All the usual fandoms, really. Benedict Cumberbatch's cheekbones, Stana Katic's hair, Cersei Lannister's bitchface, Mary Crawley's eyerolls, Doctor Who's existence. I love Loki in a not very low-key way. Also polar bears. Because they're brilliant.

Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.

How amazing are these illustrations by Mexican artist Violeta Hernández. The series is entitled ‘Maquiavélica’ and is entirely drawn with pencil and watercolor. Beautiful!
I stumbled upon her work on sleepypandaeyes.
She’s seriously gorgeous and I loved her dress.
