Golden Temple.
The past couple of days, I spent my time in Amritsar, Punjab which happens to a historically super significant place in India’s independence struggle against the Brits, a Mecca of the Sikhs and foodies paradise since majority of the North Indian dishes originate from here. Here is one photo of The Golden Temple, the most important religious site for the Sikhs. Apart from being a religious site, it also serves free, volunteer driven meals throughout the day and is the largest free kitchen in the world with over 100,000 delicious 3 course meals on a daily basis.
I thought my granddad were joking when I was told that the place where he lived in the 60s, the streets were so narrow that people could shake hands from their balconies. So, I went there to see for myself and damn, you really could. The bottom left place is actually where my grandfather lived in his primes is now abandoned. It also makes me think how far we all have come and probably is responsible for me appreciating the smallest of things in life.

The Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) Guru Arjan Sahib, the Fifth Nanak, conceived the idea of creating a central place of worship for the Sikhs and he himself designed the architecture of Sri Harmandir Sahib. Earlier the planning to excavate the holy tank (Amritsar or Amrit Sarovar) was chalked out by Guru Amardas Sahib, the Third Nanak, but it was executed by Guru Ramdas Sahib under the supervision of Baba Budha ji. The land for the site was acquired by the earlier Guru Sahibs on payment or free of cost from the Zamindars (landlords) of native villages.

Advection fog occurs when moist air passes over a cool surface by advection (wind) and is cooled. It is common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snow-pack. It is most common at sea when moist air encounters cooler waters, including areas of cold water upwelling, such as along the California coast ( San Francisco fog). A strong enough temperature difference over water or bare ground can also cause advection fog. Here We have Warm Air coming from Punjab plains and Hitting Shivalik Hills in Himachal. This phenomenon noticed in Winter in Morning time.

Chai by many is considered the lifeline in India. There is an innate relationship that Indians share with chai, no matter how hot the weather gets. Maybe that is one of the primary reasons for tea plantations sprawling across most part of the country. But did you know about the tea gardens in Dharamshala? The tea plantations in Dharamshala lets tourists enjoy the lush green tea patches in the snow-capped mountains.
