How a Bengaluru man turned his rented 1BHK into mini jungle with 500 plants? Internet is obsessed
Netizens react
In a city where rent can feel like daylight robbery and living spaces rarely reflect personality, one Bengaluru man is quietly defying the norm. For Rs 12,000 a month, he's transformed a modest 1BHK penthouse in Kasturi Nagar into an 'urban jungle' — a serene, plant-filled oasis that feels worlds away from the traffic-clogged chaos of the metropolis.Recently featured on the Instagram page of Whats Up Tenant by Rentomojo, the quaint rental is nothing short of magical. Home to over 500 plants, including lemongrass, hibiscus, rosemary, and tulsi, the space blurs the line between indoors and nature. Handmade aquariums and terrariums sit quietly beside a 60-million-year-old fossil the tenant brought back from Nepal. Creepers climb the balconies, and sunlight pours in through open windows, giving the home a warm, peaceful glow. What further catches attention is that his room and curtains also match the airy and nature vibe he has tried to create.The tenant, who painted some of the walls and doors himself, has also added personal quirks, like brewing a different herbal tea every day of the week using herbs from his balcony garden. 'You see the weather, the place... it matches up really well,' he says in the video, smiling.Social media users were deeply moved by the tour, praising the tenant's creativity and passion. Many admired how he transformed a simple apartment into a warm, personal sanctuary filled with greenery and charm. Some noted that despite watching countless house tours, this one stood out for its authenticity and attention to detail. His effort, patience, and love for nature resonated with viewers, with many saying the space inspired them to rethink their own homes. For others, the lush, plant-filled home represented a dream lifestyle — a peaceful escape crafted with care in the middle of the bustling city.

Fitness coach shares why carbs are important for women to reduce belly fat, suggests 20 meal ideas
Cutting carbs is one of the first thoughts when it comes to a weight loss diet. More often than not, it's completely eliminated. But carbs have their benefits too, and villainising them can do more harm than good for your weight loss journey. With belly fat requiring the full throttle of energy and focus, as it's one of the most stubborn areas to lose fat, your body needs essential fuel to power through the workouts while also adhering to the diet. Carbs are one of the fundamental macronutrients that help in retaining your energy while also keeping cravings at bay because carbs make you feel fuller. The fat stored in and around the abdomen is difficult to lose, demanding more energy.(Shutterstock) Akanni Salako, a women's weight loss coach and content creator who frequently shares fitness tips to address weight-related concerns, posted on Instagram on June 22, explaining how cutting back on carbs may be sabotaging your weight loss efforts, sharing much-needed awareness.

Fitness coach Akanni shared a list of smart carb options that can be added to your plate. Here's what fitness coach Akanni shared, covering the key essentials, from the core reasons behind the requirement of carbs to every carb item that can be included in meals: Why are carbs needed? Carbs like rice are often removed from diet.(Shutterstock) 1. Fuel for workouts and energy Carbs are your body's preferred energy source.

Support hormone balance (especially over 35) Cutting carbs too low can increase cortisol (your stress hormone) and disrupt thyroid function. This leads to more belly fat, not less. 3. Prevent cravings and late-night binges Balanced carbs (like sweet potatoes, oats, and fruit) help regulate your blood sugar so you're not raiding the pantry at 10 PM.
