THROUGH MY LENS!

A Traveller’s dream ~ Kaza, Spiti Valley

Like most of us, I never had a momentous turning point towards the love for traveling, it was somewhere deep down submerged into me from my early years. How do I know that? Because my mum told me that since a child I had a habit of cutting out photos and articles of beautiful destinations from newspapers and magazines and I would write a 2-3 line description under it (which included what I would do there).

In search for the unknown.


And it was cherry on top because my dad was a travel freak so I guess it came down rushing in genes for me. So, my dad had a formula to at least go on a minimum of 3 vacations every year. So, simple maths here from 4 years old till 19 years old, I have been on the annual family trips all over India.
All 4 pilgrimage sites of Hinduism (Kedarnath, Badrinath, Gangotri, Yamunotri, Rameshwaram, Puri, and lastly Somnath) was covered by me before I turned 12 years old.

So, as I began my first year of college, I took matters into my hands, I bought a DSLR partly from my savings and some from family members and then embarked on my journey to travel to places less traveled and these were solely budget travels not like any exotic hotels instead homestays or best of all carrying a sleeping bag, No luxurious meals rather savory local dishes, No cushiony car/flight rides instead opt for Public Transportations.

Asia’s Highest Bridge ~ The place where I feel alive

So, the travel part is on hold for almost a year. Lastly, I traveled was in March of 2020 near Holi to Sangla Holi (world famous), Kalpa, Chitkul, and Kaza (Spiti Valley). It was just before the pandemic hit us and all hell broke loose on everyone in this country.

Take me back to where I belong~ Unknown Valleys

Apart from that, I work as a freelance photographer/videographer and video editor in Delhi and NCR regions, serving all types of projects. So, it is going well at this moment, the plan is to travel more and more after this pandemic, gather a plethora of experiences, live different individualities, and learn about as many diverse cultures I can and the goal is to cover every inch of this world while being prosperous and healthy at my work (being a well-known content creator and freelancing) and personal life.

WANDERLUST!!

AHAA! FOR SOME PEEPS, TRAVELLING DEFINES AND THRILLS THEM OR GIVES A REASON TO DISCOVER THEMSELVES FROM THIS SAME SHITTY ROUTINE. FORTUNATELY, I’M ONE AMONG THAT SQUAD. THINGS THAT KILLS ME MAKE ME FEEL ALIVE. IN FACT I WANT TO BECOME WANDER-LOST (HAHA). IT’S MY CHILDHOOD  FANTASY TO TRAVEL EVERY INCH OF THIS WORLD, WAKE UP EVERY MORNING IN A NEW CITY, MEET UP DIFFERENT PEOPLE, MAKE MY TASTE BUDS TRY LUSCIOUS AND MOUTH-WATERING DISHES, LEARN NEW LANGUAGES AND SEE OUR SOCIETY WITH SET OF NEW VISION AND LIST GOES ON.

IN THE TRAVELLING WORLD, NO ONE IS STRANGER, BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHOM WE COULDN’T MEET YET. I WOULD SAY TRY TO BE A NOMAD IN THIS STUCK-BUSY LIFE. IMAGINE, YOU ARE IN AN UNKNOWN CITY WITH PEOPLE AROUND WHOM YOU NEVER SAW BEFORE, NO LOCAL SIM AND YOU HAVE TO SPEND A LIFE FOR A WEEK. SEE, HOW EXCITING THAT SOUNDS!! SO, ALWAYS BE OPEN TO NEW CHALLENGES, AND AS WE ALL KNOW “LIFE STARTS AT THE END OF OUR COMFORT ZONE”. DON’T KNOW WHETHER MY DREAMS WILL COME TO EXISTENCE OR NOT, BUT STILL I WILL GIVE MY LEVEL BEST AND TRY TO EXPLORE NEW CULTURES AND CITIES. YOU SHOULD ALSO, IT’S GREAT AT LEAST GIVE IT A SHOT ONCE.

NOWADAYS, MANY PEOPLE SWITCH CITIES FOR STUDY OR JOB PURPOSES. I REQUEST THEM DON’T SIT BACK AND THINK ABOUT YOUR OLD GOLDEN PLACE. YOU ARE AT A NEW PLACE, TRY EVERYTHING YOU CAN BECAUSE THE PLACE YOU CAME FROM IS GOING NO WHERE. SO, TRY TO TAKE A BAG FULL OF MEMORIES FROM THIS NEW PLACE. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT MAKING EVERY SECOND COUNT. I THINK I STRONGLY HAVE MADE MY POINT AND INSPIRED YOU TAKE CHANCES. TILL NEXT TIME, KEEP EXPLORING. I’M ALSO ON HUNT. HASTA LA VISTA!!
