Happy Father's day to all the amazing, cool, loving and selfless dads out there. Happy Father's day to the amazing mothers who've played the role at times. And Happy Father's day to the new ones or going-to-be dad's. .
.
.
I miss you old man on most days but on this day seeing most father's pictures and especially amazing moments captured makes me at times want to regret at not being able to share today's wins with you. You would've surely been proud. Thanks for being an amazing role model and my hero and teaching me to always do the right thing. .
.
For those who knew pops - he was a man who was known to go out of his way to help anyone in need. Hope to fill his shoes and do live up to his name Inshallah. Love you loads dad.

I believe one day is just too less to celebrate a mother. They're Superheros. Guardians. Entertainers. Drama Queens. Super chef. Teachers. Leaders. Gurus. Having said that I hate thinking of today because it just brings back so many memories. Holding back emotions is not possible.
.
.
Dear Ma, there's not enough words that would do justice to express how much I miss you. All I can say is Thank You. Thank You for all the unconditional Love you gave me and bringing out the best in me. I wish you were here to see me today. But I know you're watching. And I hope you're proud. .
.
I love you a lot mom and I miss you even more.

Hobbiton - the movie set village from the infamous Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit fame. Just amazed at the detail and effort that has been put into this set. An absolute place to visit and especially after you've seen the movies. .

There's something about Planes and Airports that has always excited me since I was little. Planning a trip is something that I always look forward to but simply getting onto an airplane is a next level feeling. .
.
.
I yet cannot comprehend the fact that we humans made this complex machine that makes us fly. We simply hop on, buckle in, feel the G force, get served hot meals, take a shit, stroll around, and land back on solid ground. I mean at times we take flying for granted but get real it's one of humans inventions I am yet in awe with.

I love the outdoors... Camping even more... For those who know me well have always been nagged about going camping. From remote treasures in the mountains to hidden gems by the beach... From the hottest day in Summer to the Coldest night in Winter.... It's all about loving Mother Nature.
This time we were at Jamieson which is a small (real small) town in Victoria. We found a nice camping ground by the river and camped for the night. Will be back here in July for the winter games and will head to Mt Buller. .

Impromptu early dinner at Fat Jak's #fatjaks
.
.
Tried the following dishes:
"It's Nacho Problem"
"Risk it for a Brisket"
"Jonny Drama"

Nachos were fresh with salsa and dripping hot cheese served with guacamole dip, salsa dip and cheese dip.
The brisket was a 16 hour slow braised with American cheese. Was a bit messy though. You're going to need a lot of tissues.

Lastly the Jonny Drama or Cheeseburger ended up being a simple looking yet palate enhancer.

I'm keen to try the Buffalo wings, Calamari and Hail Jak salad next time we visit.

A day well spent at the Werribee Gorge Circuit. An excellent hike for intermediate level hikers. This was my first solo hike trip in Australia. Spent total of 5 hours including return. The gorge is beautiful and wild. Tough terrain with a few guided trails. Went a bit off route to the river and lost my way up. Eventually tried a few routes until I found my way back. .
.
Side note: if you plan to go to the river, it's through private property and is only for intermediate and above hikers. Beware. Also there are a few Kangaroos. They accompany you at times. Do not approach them. You might come across as intimidating and may be attacked.
.
.
.
Why solo?
Solo trips have a lot to teach us. It helps tame the mind to never give up when we encounter difficult situations. It helps us keep calm and think clear while survival instincts kick in. Solitude gives you an opportunity to think and reflect on actions past and present while assisting in paving the path to our desired future. Only if we don't get too distracted. #outdoorminds

When you travel 11 hours just to have one meal with the Mrs (and secretly enjoy a solo road trip).... .
.
It was my first solo road trip from Melbourne to Sydney over a long weekend. Left at about 6pm and took a pitstop midway near Wagga Wagga/Albury. Slept 6 hours and drove to Sydney and reached my destination by 10am. Temperatures dropped to 3 degrees at night and on the contrary sleeping in the car kept me warm. Didn't end up using my sleeping bag.

First attempt at Indoor Cricket and we won - it was the first win of the season. I'm sure it has something do with my luck 😉 ..... And to be fair the skills rest of the team had.
The opposite team enjoyed my manipulative bowling with 5 wides and a wicket in two overs. Smashed it!

Throwback to an amazing trek in the #himalayas called the #chadartrek on the #zanskarriver. A picturesque trail on the frozen river where you walk about a 100kms to a village over a span of 10 days and back facing temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius and cracking ice under your feet. .
It was surely a life changing experience - challenging and calming at the same time. We faced a lot of hurdles but learnt to be a team and survive and never give up - lessons we can always carry in the real world. .
Cheers to my mate @that.guy.chirantan for introducing me to Chadar. Thank you.
