The village where you can't touch anything – Malana, Himachal Pradesh
I’ve never talked about my trip to Kasol, mostly because (hehe) my parents still don’t know about it, and let’s keep it that way, shall we? But not because it was a bad trip or anything. It was one of the best trips of my life. I stayed at this gorgeous property, The Hosteller Kasol, Parvati Valley, and oh my my, I fell in love. Like legit dil de diya types. So much so that I ended up taking an internship there. Life really said “plot twist”, huh? But something unexpected happened on the way to Kasol... or rather, I heard something unexpected. Don’t worry, it’s not one of those bhootiya tales that’ll make you sleep with the lights on.

Bollywood’s favourite hill station: Dharamshala & why YOU should visit it
Hi! I’m Shreya Dwivedi — a certified Bollywood paglu. If you’ve read my past blogs (bless your soul if you have), you’d know that Bollywood toh mere ragon mein hai. Like, it’s not even intentional anymore. It just… happens. But this time, I didn’t choose this article just because my brain plays “inn waadiyon mein” every time I see mountains. I chose it because I realised something — Dharamshala is tiny. Like, teen-chaar galliyan, ek market, thoda sa hillside vibe. And yet, it’s so iconic. So colourful. So stunning. (Yes, I wanted to use words like tranquil, majestic, and mesmerising, but my editor calls them "ChatGPT words," so I can’t, even though they fit Dharamshala perfectly) the chhota packet, bada dhamaka kind of tiny. The point is — the second I stepped into this town, my Bollywood paglu brain went BAM! Scene ban gaya. I have seen this somewhere (cue: Highway) and like seriously — if directors are not shooting in Dharamshala, what are they even doing? And I was right, there have been some movies like Rockstar, Highway, Haider, and Manmarziyaan that have been shot here in Dharamshala & some that I think you should recreate:-
