Every day is a new experience in the outdoors.
And this is Nihal’s favourite part. Camping. From where I come this is actually glampimg, but more on that later ).
We first took Nihal camping two years ago when he was 3. I was apprehensive whether he’d take to it. Given that a big part of his parent’s lives revolves around the outdoors and adventure, him not enjoying all those would really have put a spanner in the works. Luckily for us, he took to it like a fish to water!
And now given a choice for a weekend break- he will always pick camping. Sometimes asks to go camping in the middle of a school week too!
This time we tried a new tent from my friends @nomadadventuresoverland ! And we loved it. So much easier to set up than my older Iron Man tent ( which is faster than a conventional tent that @sherbir and I have grown up pitching – tired , hungry and often in pouring rain) . And equally quick to pack up.
Special thanks to our buddies @bimbra4x4 and @taranbimbra for installing it.
And a big shout out to my favourites at @mahindraadventure for organising this @mahindra.scorpio.official .
We had an amazing weekend amidst the pine trees with clean air , under the stars- thanks to you all.

Throwback to Nihal’s first camp, two years ago!
🏔️ 🏕️
******************
Nihal’s first camp. And he’s loving it. As expected.
He’s helping around , much to the delight of his Grana. He’s been exploring- venturing a little bit further with every round he makes of the camp site . The weather has been kind so far .
I was around Nihal’s age when my father first took me camping. Over the years growing up, an annual camping trip ( if not 2) was the most awaited time of year. We’d drive to camping sites, Mom would cook up a feast and Dad, my brother @sherbirpanag and I would set up camp. It was a lot of work for us kids too! From doing the dishes, to filling water from the water source to ‘keeping vigilance watches’ to gathering firewood, to cleaning up the site . But it taught us so much, besides instilling in us a love for adventure and the outdoors. It was also the most economical way to holiday ! We’ve kept up the tradition of our annual camp over the years with my husband also joining us ( who is also an adventure enthusiast). Of course, our camping has become more comfortable over the years as we acquired more gear and experience! (And not to mention the ultimate expedition vehicle Super Milo , customised with everything we need by my friend @vjsnagra ‘s team at @sarbloh.motors . But more on that later.)
Glad that my father is initiating Nihal into developing a love for adventure. In this video Nihal is helping by passing mats to my parents as they set up their tent, as his father duly captures it on video .😊

Full of hot air. Literally.
Our second time in Capadoccia. And just as magical. The hot air balloon ride is arguably one of the finest experiences that I’ve ever had. This time around, we had Nihal with us who was mesmerised. Seeing it all over again through his eyes, was an altogether different experience.
Since we are here in the middle of summer, the days are very long , with sunrise at 5 AM. The balloon pilots typically take us up a little before so one can witness the sunrise in all its glory. Our pick up was at 3.45 AM. And Nihal was an absolute trooper. In fact, we woke up at 2.30 ( not unusual for Rishi, given his job💁🏻♀️,) cup of tea, when Nihal walked into the living room, rubbing his eyes.
Hence, proved yet again, there are children will surprise us again and again. Like he did on the trek up to the Tigers’s nest in Bhutan are early this year.

Hustle and Flow.
Or remain committed to your goals, but be flexible in your approach. Or make a plan ( because nothing ever happens without a plan) and go with the flow. Improvise.
Or OODA. Observe. Orient. Decide . And Act.
It’s all the same. And it works for pretty much everything. Life . Parenting . Fitness. Work. Entrepreneurship. Travel.
Speaking of fitness, consistency and flexibility – always hold me in good stead. With training. With food. And progress not perfection.
Last few weeks I’ve been very consistent. Despite a flight a week, on average. And I have patted my self on the back.
Now, I’m on the road ( well not literally – lots of travel featuring trains , planes and automobiles), for nearly two weeks , and I’m terrified of losing my progress. 😅
Let’s see!
How will I remain consistent? Will I let one bad day, one bad meal throw me off? Or will I get back in the saddle ? Varca, Goa

Sustainability is not an option. It’s now a compulsion.
A big thank you to Economic Times for making me part of the Sustainable Organisations Awards – a platform that acknowledges and recognises organisations that are raising the bar when it comes to incorporating sustainable practices. While one doesn’t work for rewards, it’s certainly is encouraging to be awarded and inspire others to follow suit.

Goa blitz. And photo dump.
Thank you @uditaanand for taking care of the cub while I went hunting.😅
Thank you @clubmahindra for being great hosts as always ! The Varca property remains my favourite. It was the first property we came to when we became members in 2003 . We’ve come back to you three times with Nihal and it’s more fun for us as a family each time we come. 😅 Varca, Goa
