Travel & Music || Enchanting Himachal and its Charming Songs

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.

Sikkim - The Land of Lakes, Rivers, and Waterfalls

It had been a while (more than two years) since VJ and I had gone on a vacation together. So when an opportunity to take a vacation at a very short notice came knocking, we decided to make the most of it. We did not have enough time to plan, so we had only two options - purchase a really expensive itinerary from the likes of MakeMyTrip or head out without much planning and decide the itinerary on the go. We decided to take the second option.  We wanted to explore an area we have never explored earlier. Northeast India had been on our minds for some time so we zeroed in on Sikkim after some thought. We purchased the flight tickets (they were expensive as we booked them barely two days before the travel) and booked a reasonable homestay in Gangtok for a couple of nights. We began our vacation with no idea of what we would do after Gangtok. Details of the itinerary and how it developed will follow in another post, this series is about exploring various aspect of th

Our first long drive on our MG Hector || From Noida to Mandi, Himachal and Back

We booked our new car, an MG Hector (Petrol Smart), in July 2019 and owing to the high demand, received it in December 2019. After that we were driving it to and fro from office and the longest we had driven it was when we went to visit my parents in Delhi (about 45 km one way).  And after that Covid-19 stuck the world and all of us were in a lockdown. Our car stayed in the basement for several months. We would start it at times and take it around our sector to keep the battery running, but it was more or less stationary.  Then once the nation eased a little in November, we planned a two-week trip to VJ's hometown in Himachal , a tiny village called Badahin in Mandi district . This was the first time we would be driving all the way. Before this, both of us were comfortable driving a compact manual car (Hyundai i10). We had driven long distances (to Churu and back) but never on real hills. The only hill-driving experience we had was in Lonavala for a couple of hours.
