The Journey That Turned Me Into a Travel Photographer

As a kid, I used to sit for hours with my grandfather’s late brother’s photo albums. He had this habit — he would click photos, get them printed, and put them in albums. Proper albums, with plastic-covered pages. As a kid I used to sit with those for hours. Admiring how a shot was taken. Recognising family members I barely knew. Looking at old pictures made me understand that moments matter.…

7 Things to Do in McLeodganj

McLeodganj has a way of pulling you back. It pulled me back several times when I didn’t expect it. I feel this place wants you to come back again and again because there’s so much to do and see. Over multiple visits, I’ve slowly built a picture of what McLeodganj actually offers. This list comes from that. Seven things worth doing, most of them from my most recent visit, where everything felt…

7 Easy Visa Countries in Southeast Asia for Indians in 2026

Planning an international trip as an Indian passport holder used to mean stacks of documents and long waits at embassies. That’s changed a lot. Several Asian countries have made it genuinely easy for Indians to visit — either visa-free, or with a simple e-visa you can apply for from your phone. I’ve personally been to Vietnam and Malaysia from this list, and both were straightforward to enter.…

"A Phone Call Took Me to Meet the Dalai Lama"

An unexpected call on a winter morning put me in a deep thought. My father lives in Russia. He called with a simple question — “There’s a Russian group planning to meet the Dalai Lama in McLeodGanj. There’s a seat vacant. Would you like to join and also show them around, if you have a day or two?” I wasn’t expecting that call. And I definitely wasn’t planning on meeting the Dalai Lama in…

Pushing My Limits at the Cult Unbound Challenge

Crawling, falling, pain, crying — all of that is allowed. But quitting? Never. Last night, my mind was restless, and I was tense because of some ongoing things. I ended up talking with a friend, and she almost ordered me to watch a podcast of Raj Shamani with Mitesh & Indu. It was a 1 hour 30 minute podcast. I thought I’d just skim through it — but instead, I watched the entire thing. The…

When an Interview Turns Into Free Work

BEWARE OF SUCH INTERVIEWS creative people. I want to share an incident that happened with me recently while I was actively looking for a Videographer job. The Call I got a call from an HR who asked me to come for a face-to-face interview along with a short test shoot to check my skills. The same day, I checked their website but it wasn’t opening because of some issue. Even checked their…

How Did an Unknown Uplift Me in Pushing My Limits?

An UNKNOWN can be your UPLIFTER. Today during my workout challenge, I was aiming for a solid 45 kg barbell shoulder press. In class, there’s this ongoing challenge—whoever lifts the heaviest wins a goodie. So I warmed up with 25 kg, moved to 35 kg, and finally locked my challenge weight at 45 kg. I called over the trainer, did my 5 reps, and he noted it down. Just then, someone I barely…
