Hot Air Balloon in Manali: A Magical Flight Above the Himalayas. AI-Generated.
Adventure in the mountains often means trekking, skiing, or paragliding, but my most surreal moment in Manali didn’t involve rushing through trails or gliding across ridges. Instead, it came when I stepped into the wicker basket of a hot air balloon and gently rose above the valley. Below me, the Beas River sparkled like liquid silver, pine forests stretched endlessly, and snow-dusted peaks stood tall in the distance. For a few quiet minutes, I wasn’t just in the Himalayas—I was floating above them.

Forgotten Highways & Lost Gas Stations
I. Prelude of Asphalt & Dust There’s something haunting about a two-lane highway that doesn’t quite go anywhere anymore. The paint is sun-faded, the asphalt cracked like an old leather boot, and the weeds creep through with the persistence of time itself. You drive past it on the interstate... your GPS urging you to stay in the fast lane... but your eyes wander. Off to the side, a rusting sign with missing neon tubes still flickers in the evening air: EATS.

The call to wander
M Mehran Even as a child, when her classmates dreamed of steady jobs and neat houses, she dreamed of roads. Roads that stretched into forests, roads that curved along oceans, roads that disappeared into mountains. She didn’t know where they led—she only knew she wanted to follow them.
