[@TravelCalifornia805]

Dear Rajiv, thank you so much for making these videos. Im not sure if anyone has told you this before, but your channel is like Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood for adults. It’s a beautiful day whenever you post a new video. You bring so much peace and joy to the world.❤

[@rajivsurendra]

Thank you for watching and for your words of support!

[@gregpendrey6711]

We need our inspo after we vote and wait for the outcome. It's been stressful as our democracy is in peril. Liked your tinning episode. Now ima plan my Jack o lantern. 😂

[@powersandassoentdorothya8981]

❤ Amen 🙏💜🕯️

[@powersandassoentdorothya8981]

Agreeeeeee! ❤

[@christyjohnson6967]

Rajiv, you are simply AMAZING. May you never ever lose your innocent, childlike sense of wonder.

[@SusanGeyer-l4k]

That's how I feel about him..

[@KateC-nb1mi]

When I saw the headline "Halloween Pumpkin Carving with Rajiv" I said oh my gosh YES! 🧡

[@doodlebrown8835]

I’ll say it again… best content creator on YT!

[@totoro888]

100% agree

[@mpalmer8449]

500 percent

[@desertrose128]

Indeed

[@jennifermonson7005]

Yes!

[@paulacarter8930]

I knew a young man who carved “Will You Marry Me?” on a pumpkin and asks his girlfriend to turn out the lights and go check out his work; needless to say, she was surprised. He did a beautiful job of the carving with such beautiful lettering in carving it too! I thought you’d appreciate that!

[@wakingtheworld]

Ah, what a lovely way to propose and so original....

[@hazalyuksel1875]

How is this man so good at everything?

[@Klayhed]

Don’t you just want to hate him for being so talented?!? He’s such a gentle, loving soul….

[@wakingtheworld]

My sentiments exactly when I tuned in to this one. Is there anything he can't do?

[@Lucyboker]

I’m begging you to do a video about Christmas decorations when the time rolls around! This video got me in the Halloween spirit!!! 🎃

[@bonnerdebbie]

Awesome job for your first pumpkin. Thank you!

[@arlene9993]

You are such a gem of a human being, Rajiv! Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. :)

[@phuongju370]

Rajiv, this inspired us in carving our very first pumpkin with our children the very next day! We used a printed cat face to trace onto the pumpkin, but we're determined to carve free-handedly one day. Thank you for continuing to be a major influence by embracing art through a different lens.

[@gkr7019]

That is insanely the most humanised pumpkin I have ever seen. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Rajiv

[@bfranklin1052]

This was so fun, especially the parts that made you giggle. Loved the spooky music too! ❤

[@jefflawrentz1624]

I knew you were going to knock this one out of the park. Nice work!

[@LaLadybug2011]

Of course Rajiv's pumpkin looks like it's had four years of braces and came out with THE most perfect teeth! I love you Rajiv-you make everything fun and you also make it look so easy even when I know it's not! That's what gives us the inspiration to try new things. Thank you as always for a delightful video. ❤

[@masonpaider]

The perfect amount of spooky. I wouldn’t want that in the room I sleep in.

[@garyandkathleenaugustine5225]

Man in the moon! Love it!🌝

[@rachelfinder]

The laughing in delight at the thing you're creating. I love those moments during making anything. I laugh at my work all the time when I can see it all coming together to make the impression I want.

[@jlanvers]

Discovering that you have a new video while sitting down for breakfast on Saturday morning means an extra piece of toast and another cup of tea! The rest of the day can wait.

[@paulalogue976]

Once you put the head on top of the candle…. Pumpkin head turned into its own character. Just WOW!

[@PS-bs8oe]

Can't always watch, but so happy a gentleman shares his love of beauty creatively.

[@carolynthompson6518]

When Rajiv said “I’ve never done this before” you just know it is going to be nothing other than spectacular. This definitely didn’t disappoint my expectations of the outcome ❤

[@jenniferlewis9940]

Looks so cozy where you are ☺️ all the fall feels coming my way and I’m grateful thank you!

[@mamimetro6518]

Thank you for the Happy Hollow Pumpkin Head. The teeth were perfect! 🧡😁

[@cheri5954]

Hello Rajiv I couldn’t help but giggle when you would 🤭 giggle. Love the pumpkin 🎃

[@laurigipe5561]

I think your art classes in Florence have been quite a good investment. This is an amazing first attempt and I hope you will continue. It was extremely amusing.

[@nessavee2205]

Love it! It looks like the Man On the Moon from an old silent film! ❤

[@Klayhed]

That’s what I thought as Rajiv was carving it!

[@lisachristensen6389]

So good Rajiv! Thank you for sharing your interests with us! ❤

[@Babesofthepower1113]

This is so calming. I will make a cup a tea and watch. ❤

[@sparklingfay]

Interesting technique for cutting out the teeth!😄 And thanks for the inspiration to try out things. 😉❤️ Your pumpkin looks great!

[@JoButterwick]

It looks gorgeous... then with the candle inside - WOW!!!

[@teresagaudiot7459]

Oh my gosh. You made a pumpkin a work of art. You are truly the best! ❤

[@Klayhed]

Rajiv, you are a true renaissance man! Your pumpkin turned out great! Scarey? Not so much, but, hey, sometimes that’s the way art goes….Blessings! 💕

[@alro11]

a fun pumpkin sculpture exploration with Rajiv! a mindful person who is present in the moment makes his videos calming and pleasant thx for sharing your practice with us 🎃🧡🖤🤍 ps love the music at the end woooooo

[@3ly5e]

Rajiv is losing his mind in that barn!! Haha your chuckles made me chuckle. I love your pumpkin and the shoes metaphor. :)

[@ruthiezophia7118]

Very well done.

[@joycewirth3022]

Hi Rajiv, your steady hand and patience created a beautiful "Man-in-the-Moon" "pumpkin. The picture would be complete with an accompanying cat. So much fun, thank you for sharing. Jersey Ann from NJ 🎃

[@Alchemic.Beauty]

What a vibe 😭✨

[@rosesm757]

Your videos are such a blessing! Thank you Rajiv!

[@sarahp1383]

Well done, but oh so eerie when lit up.

[@cuddlemuff6632]

Perfect combination, Rajiv and pumpkin carving for Halloween!

[@taylordarrell]

I love your Jack-o-lantern! So fun watching your process too. Adorable.

[@kathysyphrit5713]

Rajiv that is the most creative pumpkin carving I have ever seen. Your talented in so many ways. I enjoy that your able to find so much joy in the things you do. What a joy your are to watch. You made my rainy, gloomy day happier.

[@rlavelleSLP]

Wow! It’s more like a sculpture than a jack-o’-lantern. It’s amazing! 🎃 🧡💫

[@cecwintonyk8228]

Fabulous. Who knew it was first time project! I love how you dive into new things and with such confidence and joy.

[@daisylee298]

Rajiv, good morning, when I saw your message pop up and it said “pumpkins”, I thought again, PUMPKINS! -LOL - when you were done - I thought, of course, you are a Sculptor- the pumpkin is amazing - now I have a new fond memory of pumpkins. Thank you.

[@daisylee298]

… Not sure why some of my previous message was lined out

[@michaelraymond952]

Knowing you’re spending so much time in my home state and we haven’t met yet is a special kind of torture. I even hosted a pumpkin carving party just yesterday!

[@andreainakazu3878]

Dear Rajiv , I was walking through Thompson Park in Scarborough Ontario and there is a scattering of all homes from the 18th century that have been transported there from other parts of Toronto. It was so intriguing walking through and trying to imagine how they lived etc. It somehow brought back Pioneer Village and your stories while working there . Of course I told the young uns working there all about you and how it has shaped your present life . Thank you thank you for your joie de vivre and immense knowledge of all things beautiful and fun.

[@TS-bj6qe]

Thank you Rajiv, lovely as always

[@carmenm.4091]

Wonderful. Love the grin 😁

[@esmcguire]

Rajik at his Best. Creative, charming and ...outside the box!

[@EMVelez]

Rajiv

[@tobyg5073]

Beautiful

[@eileenhoney6426]

I’ve never peeled a pumpkin or cleaned it from the bottom. This is so interesting

[@Klayhed]

Only Rajiv would use and then change gloves to clean out the pumpkin guts! 🤣

[@geraldinefields1730]

What fun. Thank you.

[@Asatyba]

I carved a pumpkin last Saturday alongside Family members. As we finished we sat them all in a row an lit them to give each pumkin a Score. It was a Joyful day with many giggles 🎃

[@bridgetg7460]

Thanks for sharing Rajiv! Looks great and more importantly it is great reminder to try new things!!!

[@priskilla5444]

Rajiv! You did such a great job! And I thought it was so funny that you would giggle with joy while you were doing it, almost like a kid doing something they're not supposed to. But you forgot to name your pumpkin!!! I'll do it for you... he looks like a "FRED" to me! Thanks for the great content, yet again! Have a beautiful day everyone! 😊 🎃

[@savinginnyc4765]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills. It looks beautiful. Thank you for always inspiring me to try something new. God bless you 🙏❤️

[@lasgidi1672]

Such a talented man! He could even be in a film like Mean Girls!

[@justnski]

Nice supraorbital ridge

[@lucysmith7658]

This is gorgeous and elegant and so, so funny 😆 thank you Rajiv!!

[@ibriggie]

You’re totally giving Mr. Dressup vibes, and I’m here for it! 😁

[@arlinejernigan]

Very cure pumpkin!!!!

[@L83000]

wow,kudos!

[@julieschnorenberg5370]

That was a fun technique! I like to carve the ouside of my pumpkins too! Love it!

[@prp584]

Rajiv I love your videos so much, you are a ray of light. ❤ I don't know why your videos aren't being recommended to me, they don't pop up anywhere even though I'm subscribed. 😢 Also, this surely doesn't have anything to do with that issue, but if I can be free to share my thoughts - I miss the old beautifully crafted thumbnails, it does something to my brain to click on a beautiful, aesthetic thumbnail with beautiful light, writing and angles. I think it makes me even more excited for the video! 😊

[@User-s3i6x]

I love the you enjoy everything you do! And your endless need to do/learn different things. You’re a free and very talented spirit. One of a kind! 🙏🌹

[@leslie4421]

This made me smile... ☺

[@sharischmidt4712]

Well done!!!!❤ You're a wonderful reminder that if you try you can!!!!😊

[@TheColor17]

Turned out "Kool" 👻👻Thank You ~ Rajiv Love the rain & cozy space- Trick or Treat🍬🍬

[@roshirahmati1603]

That pumpkin face you made is fantastic! I am so inspired to carve one. What I find so unique is, that you did not make any holes inside the face. 🎃 Is wonderful that you get to do your cold plunge in the ocean 🥶

[@catladynj]

Looks fantastic. Love the teeth.😊❤❤❤❤

[@BelindaM44]

Always entertaining and delightful. Great job!❤

[@DwarfDragonwulf]

Well that was fun, turned out awesome. I was waiting the whole time to see a candle in it.

[@SusanGeyer-l4k]

Never thought about peeling it before carving the face....😮

[@katharinavonzitzewitz826]

You are such a talented guy ! Turned out perfect again your pumpkin😊

[@janelte]

The shoe analogy is very helpful. Thank you.

[@SarahBushnell]

Dear Rajiv .... what a treat ! ... you have given us yet another hugely entertaining video ... featuring your highly creative interpretation of carving a Halloween pumpkin. It's a delicious blend of mild spookiness with the benign ... just perfect ! Thank you so much !

[@kayapostolas3387]

Loved it, never thought to cut the bottom instead of the top. Thanks for all your great content.

[@SlowFlow-g6b]

Well done. Thank you.

[@mariacordero4561]

HAPPY HAPPY 🥰PUMPKIM👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@mdocho4944]

Just beautiful thank you

[@anamenendez1997]

Fabulous! 🎃

[@anitainmo489]

A somewhat scary looking pumpkin. Love how you kept giggling like a little kid. Happy Halloween!!

[@sylviaasebedo5370]

Rajiv, this is wonderful!!! You are amazing!!

[@TheThriftyTherapist]

My 7-year-old kid loves you as much as I do!

[@elleholm5570]

The vertical indentation between the bottom of the nose and the upper lip is the philtrum. You've created a new smiley face emoji for Hallowe'en!

[@rajivsurendra]

Philtrum! It came to me two days later...not fulcrum! Thank you!

[@eileenhoney6426]

Amazing!

[@jetlagen]

Great idea - Happy Halloween!

[@adelamoon]

A very jolly fellow!

[@olivertwist69]

More halloween 🎃 👻 DIY themed stuff please.

[@anneredmoon]

Hi Rajiv. I have two questions for you. How long did it take you to carve the pumpkin? Do you enjoy Kristopher and his Problem Solved show? He recently carved a pumpkin using clay tools as well.

[@nuxkamina]

Well done!
