Kullu Manali & Shimla - May 2018

It was our first anniversary and we had to go somewhere!! Sushil, Priyanka, Nitish and I decided the place to be the very famous old Shimla-Manali, to beat the summers of Hyderabad. What can be more relaxing than to be on a hill-station during the summer season of India. Thanks to the corporate world, where we cannot take more than a week holiday! So, it was a short trip again, two days in Manali and two days in Shimla. It was worth every penny there. The mountains, early morning view, river all the way along the journey and the pahadi's! It stole my heart.

The journey started on 30th from Hyderabad to Chandigarh via Delhi. We reached Delhi at midnight and checked in into a hotel next to the airport.

1st May, morning we had a flight to Chandigarh. Once we reached Chandigarh, the cab was waiting for us at the airport. We had booked a package from Antilog Vacations.
We started our trip to Manali. On the way to Manali we had breakfast (yum aloo paratha) at Haveli.. then lunch (which was okaish) at some random dhaba kinda on the way. We saw
Padoh river on the way.

On the way there was a long bridge on which we walked and clicked pictures.

We did river rafting on the way. The view was amazing. It was chill.

Finally we reached our hotel - snow villa. Had amazing north Indian dinner and walked in the area nearby to view the night chill scenes.

2nd May,2018: We woke up in the middle of the mountains, could see the snow-peaked mountains. It felt like Switzerland.

After having breakfast at the hotel itself, we headed towards the Solang Valley. On the way to Solang Valley, we saw lot of apple trees which did not start bearing the fruit though. The view on the way was awe-struck and serene.

We took an ATV to reach to the top of the Solang Valley. You can choose horses or simply walk up. Walking up is not a good option, as it is far and lot of ATVs and horses on the way would disturb.

We did some sports activities there, like crossing the river etc.
                                      

We proceeded to visit few more places which were in the package like mentioned below:
Nehru Kund,Kothi, Solang Valley (World Famous For Adventure Sports Activity) and up to Gulba/Hadimba devi Temple and Click Pics under pine trees/Vashit Hot Water & Old Shiva Temple /Club House/Tibetan Monastery/The Manali Mall Road.

We took a ropeway further from Solang Valley to reach further heights where people were doing paragliding etc.

We visited the mall road in the late evening and proceeded to take rest for the day.

3rd May, 2018: We were all set to start for Kufri. Took horses to Kufri.

We did not find any snow there. On the top of the mountains, after reaching there, we saw an old Shiva temple, and the view was good.  We proceeded towards Shimla.

On the way, we found lot of Minchy's shop and stopped to buy few sharbats and pickles.

We reached Shimla and visited the mall road. I fell in love with the mall road. We spent the entire evening there, roaming and having good food.

 

4th May, 2018. We proceeded to come back to Chandigarh. We had a flight from Chandigarh to Hyderabad the next day.

Baked Baati in microwave

1. Take 1 cup wheat flour and 1/3rd cup besan. Add 1-2 tsp of ghee, pinch of eating soda, salt, mirchi powder, haldi, ajwain and saunf. Knead the dough little hard with minimum amount of water required.
2. Let it rest for 20-30 mins.
3. Preheat microwave for 5 mins in Grill mode.
4. Make round dough and press it from top to flatten it little. Perpare 7- 8 such dough.
5. Put grill stainless steel cooking rack on the turntable plate and  put the doughs.
6. Grill it for 5 mins and turn up the opposite sides. If it was otg we din't had to toggle the sides.
7. Again for 2-3 mins grill it and see if it is baked properly.
8. Now in a cauldron, heat some ghee in it enough for the baati to submerge.
9. Shallow fry it till the color comes out pretty well and is consistent.
10. Ta-da yum baati is ready.

 Start with small start up.. then try for big dream companies

Focus for 2019!

Be happier. Be healthier. Be the best, better than the rest. Be smarter, faster, richer, sexier, more popular, more productive, more envied, and more admired. Travel more, make more friends, try things that you never have and feel the thrill of it. Take an action now.  

You need to train your mind to focus on the positives and look forward to it. Be hopeful. Don't get disappointed by things that didn't happen. Cry for it and get over with it. Deal with it. Don't feel miserable. You would love it when you come to know ,why the things did not happen, for a good reason. Have no regrets. Things which are happening now is because it is leading it you what you will have in future. I have started believing in these things. And it does work!!

Make sure you excel in your current role...sort of become irreplaceable in whatever you do.
