Being in the mountains makes me feel so happy, away from the time hustle of Bombay. I love the people, they rely on each other, there is no scheming or manipulation (none that I have seen). The quality of my favorite foods (rajma and kadhi) are the best there. I feel so free to go to any place and start climbing right away.. I love drinking water from the rivers in the upper regions in Himachal... I can just keep going on.

@@idaali11 It is good to see you interact with followers, just have one request, also raise your voice against the increasing tourism, buildings, vehicles, etc, because hills can't handle this much tourism and people, Forests are designed for animals only not human crowd. I hope you and other people will raise your voices. States wanted income, and people wanted more money but no one is asking for hills, forests, or rivers what they wanted. thanks

Nooo...this is perfect. That type of vlog has become a little generic now. This one feels calm and authentic, i like the rough edges it has.

It's the best! I'm from Shimla and trust me Sita Ram k chole luchi are amazinggg

Hello hello ! 😊🙏🌸🌸 Welcome back with another lovely vlog, showing some of my favourite sites - especially the Ridge and environs , with the imposing Christchurch and the town hall and the other British colonial buildings . And of course , also Cecil's. No doubt Shimla (somehow I still prefer to think of it as 'Simla') has a unique ethos, an ambience all its own. It's been a while, but each time I wander along the Mall or turn down from there towards the native/lower Bazar, I seek out Lurgan Sahib's magical shop (from Kim) ; and Scandal Point always brings to mind the inimitable Mrs Hauksbee (also from Kipling's stories) . 😂

BTW, you mentioned the old British Gaiety Theatre (dramatics) ; but most people today seem to have forgotten about the three iconic Shimla movie theaters , that alas are no more-- the Ritz, Regal and the Rivoli 😢 The other two were damaged or destroyed earlier but the Rivoli, I believe, was demolished only recently. There was a time between the 1940s and 1990s when many of the best Bollywood releases used to premiere at these places. I'm sure your father would be aware . Great stars of the past , like Raj Kapoor, Nargis, Waheeda Rahman, Dev Anand, Raj Kumar etc etc, all attended shows at these places. I think there is only one cinema still left now in Shimla? 🤔

I think they are agnostic. Or do not follow any one religion strictly.

No no, Himachal is mostly safe for minorities, though there are very few in numbers. However, by comparison, another mountain state Uttarakhand, is a bit more violent.

@@omerosdaskalos7708 but isnt RAHUL Gandhi converting himachal to a Christian state just like andhra.. i would love to visit himachal and uttarakhand once they have been fully converted and RAHUL is PM

@@williamhunter7131 no state is any particular "religion" , and Sri Rahul Gandhi ji is repeatedly truing to explain this wisdom , try to understand. India is comprised of many states , religions, ethnicities, plural identities and it's a rich and diversified tapestry. The task of the true Indian leader and statesman is to bring unity and love and compassion to all these components , to strengthen it. 😊🙏💕💕💕 This is the message given in ancient times by the edicts of Ashoka; this is also the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi ji, this is also the central theme of the book "Discovery of India" by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji-- Rahul Gandhi is part of this linked and ongoing tradition of truth and good. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 That's why he seeks to bring in a universalist approach in his dialectic , by incorporating examples from all cultures and religions etc. If you please take some time and try to appreciate and fully understand this whole concept (instead of looking at only narrow parts) then you will also lose all fear and transcend the divisions to achieve the enlightened approach. Best wishes and blessings 😊🙏🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷

I’ve been there before, it’s incredible!!
