PHOTO JOURNEY by www.Travellingcamera.com

For the past few years, I have taken to Himachali music. I first got introduced to it during my wedding, when a constant background music of women singing Himachali wedding songs, made the simple ceremony even more beautiful. Since then, I have been introduced to several Himachali songs that I have come to love. And this also gives me a great advantage - when I sing these in family gatherings, VJ's side of the family is unfailingly impressed by a non-Himachali knowing so many Himachali songs :-P.  

When I look out for reviews and comparisons of products I want to buy, I find it difficult to read long posts which compare things which are just jargons for me and there is no clear verdict. And at the end I am more confused :). For my recent reviews I have started adding verdicts and in past at least 40 friends and family went ahead with my verdict and bought cameras I suggested and all of them are happy with what they have. And that makes me more confident in suggesting products which are either used by me for some project or by my serious photographer friends. Although this post is about comparison of Canon 1500D and Nikon D3500, but feel free to reach us for detailed views on other cameras.

It was the day of Holi Festival and I started early at 3am for Bengaluru. I was full of excitement and everything went well and I reached Bengaluru by 9:30am. The plan was to start the train journey at 4pm from Taj West End and I had whole day to spend until then. Because of Holi I didn’t want to go out, but later I got to know that Holi is not celebrated at that scale in south India. 

Spiti is also famous for it's old & different styled monasteries. After driving for few minutes, we hit a place from where we could see the Key Monastery. The Key Monastery is located at around an altitude of 4000+ metres above the sea level and the monastery is very close to the Spiti River in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh in India. There is a small village on the way which is gradually converting into bigger town with modern buildings under construction. This photograph is clicked from the same village. There is also a primary school in this town. I clicked few photographs of the kids doing morning prayer but haven't processed them yet. Will try to share those in one of the other posts about Spiti.

Last weekend, I came across this very interesting vlog - "Roonie & Barty" and completely hooked to it. There is so much inspiring about this vlog that I felt like starting a new series on our blog - "Travel Inspirations", wherein we will bring you some of the most inspiring travel content of various kinds. It's essential for us to share worthwhile stuff with our audience and followers. And we will try to ensure that we don't break trust and will try to bring some of the greatest stuff in this series. Let me make a confession that I am less of a consumer and more of a content creator. Which means, most of my time goes into creating things and very less time on checking other content. I know, it's little weird and this comes on my way of learning new stuff but that's how I am. I hardly watch TV, read blogs or read books. btw, Roonie doesn't enjoy reading books as well :), but he is master at what he does - Filmmaking. But after many years, I a…
