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.❤
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. 😂
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!
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 ❤
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. ❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 🎃
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 🎃
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.
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.
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.
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! 😊 🎃
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 🥶
I get Cheshire cat vibes from that pumpkin face😸 At 67 I still look forward to carving a jack-o’-lantern, just to see the candle glow from within🎃 Nicely done, sweet Rajiv❤
The animals in the woods will love your pumpkin and it’s contents. In fact, it’s very good for them! I hope you did leave it out there. Love you and your channel!
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! 😊
Wow! It turned out so well! But of course, that doesn’t surprise me in the least! Such a fun video and it puts me right in the mood for Halloween! Maybe a spooky story telling session closer to Halloween in your barn illuminated by lantern light? You are such a natural storyteller (BTW loved your book!). Thanks, Rajiv!
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.
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 !
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.❤
Thank you for watching and for your words of support!
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. 😂
❤ Amen 🙏💜🕯️
❤ wow you're not even done and it looks so good 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Agreeeeeee! ❤
Rajiv, you are simply AMAZING. May you never ever lose your innocent, childlike sense of wonder.
That's how I feel about him..
When I saw the headline "Halloween Pumpkin Carving with Rajiv" I said oh my gosh YES! 🧡
I’ll say it again… best content creator on YT!
100% agree
500 percent
Indeed
Yes!
How is this man so good at everything?
Don’t you just want to hate him for being so talented?!? He’s such a gentle, loving soul….
My sentiments exactly when I tuned in to this one. Is there anything he can't do?
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!
Ah, what a lovely way to propose and so original....
Hello Rajiv I couldn’t help but giggle when you would 🤭 giggle. Love the pumpkin 🎃
You are such a gem of a human being, Rajiv! Thank you for sharing yourself with the world. :)
That is insanely the most humanised pumpkin I have ever seen. Beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. Rajiv
I love your Jack-o-lantern! So fun watching your process too. Adorable.
Can't always watch, but so happy a gentleman shares his love of beauty creatively.
I love pumpkin carving every Halloween. You did an amazing job, and Happy Halloween 🎃
This was so fun, especially the parts that made you giggle. Loved the spooky music too! ❤
Once you put the head on top of the candle…. Pumpkin head turned into its own character. Just WOW!
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 ❤
Of course Rajiv's pumpkin looks like it's had four years of braces and came out with THE most perfect teeth!

Man in the moon! Love it!🌝
I knew you were going to knock this one out of the park. Nice work!

Awesome job for your first pumpkin. Thank you!
I’m begging you to do a video about Christmas decorations when the time rolls around! This video got me in the Halloween spirit!!! 🎃
Yes, but if you do it now, perhaps we’ll all have time and a chance to try too!!
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.
Interesting technique for cutting out the teeth!😄 And thanks for the inspiration to try out things. 😉❤️ Your pumpkin looks great!
It looks gorgeous... then with the candle inside - WOW!!!
Looks so cozy where you are ☺️ all the fall feels coming my way and I’m grateful thank you!
The perfect amount of spooky. I wouldn’t want that in the room I sleep in.
Very cool and creepy pumpkin 🎃
Thank you for the Happy Hollow Pumpkin Head. The teeth were perfect! 🧡😁
So good Rajiv! Thank you for sharing your interests with us! ❤
My 7-year-old kid loves you as much as I do!

Oh my gosh. You made a pumpkin a work of art. You are truly the best! ❤
Well done!
Brilliant ❤
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 🎃
Love it! It looks like the Man On the Moon from an old silent film! ❤
That’s what I thought as Rajiv was carving it!

Perfect combination, Rajiv and pumpkin carving for Halloween!
Wow! It’s more like a sculpture than a jack-o’-lantern. It’s amazing! 🎃 🧡💫
Your videos are such a blessing! Thank you Rajiv!
he magically makes the most banal task; washing dishes, cleaning out a bag... look interesting
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.
… Not sure why some of my previous message was lined out
That's way scarier than I anticipated hahaha
This is so calming. I will make a cup a tea and watch. ❤
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.
Fabulous. Who knew it was first time project! I love how you dive into new things and with such confidence and joy.

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! 😊 🎃
Never thought about peeling it before carving the face....😮
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! 💕
Rajiv is losing his mind in that barn!! Haha your chuckles made me chuckle. I love your pumpkin and the shoes metaphor. :)
So good!!!
Rajik at his Best. Creative, charming and ...outside the box!
Rajiv
A somewhat scary looking pumpkin. Love how you kept giggling like a little kid. Happy Halloween!!
Very well done.
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 🥶
Wonderful!
I get Cheshire cat vibes from that pumpkin face😸 At 67 I still look forward to carving a jack-o’-lantern, just to see the candle glow from within🎃 Nicely done, sweet Rajiv❤
This made me smile... ☺
Thanks for sharing Rajiv! Looks great and more importantly it is great reminder to try new things!!!
Wonderful. Love the grin 😁
If you toast the pumpkin seeds in the oven, they are the most delicious snack ever. Store bought ones just don't come close.
A very jolly fellow!
I’ve never peeled a pumpkin or cleaned it from the bottom. This is so interesting
Only Rajiv would use and then change gloves to clean out the pumpkin guts! 🤣
Thank you Rajiv, lovely as always
The animals in the woods will love your pumpkin and it’s contents. In fact, it’s very good for them! I hope you did leave it out there. Love you and your channel!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills. It looks beautiful. Thank you for always inspiring me to try something new. God bless you 🙏❤️
