Raftaar nahi chahiye | Story of a Kanpur Boy Living in the Himalayas

I headed to Bir Billing- the paragliding capital of India- to meet my old friend Gaurav who runs a travelers cafe in the hill town. The story of how I know him deserved a telling and I thought it would be best for him to share our connection for the vlog. The conversations that followed about him moving to the mountains and starting his entrepreneurial journey (Musafir Cafe and Musicathon), had me fascinated, and if I might add, inspired. I kept recording because I thought more people should hear the story.
Watch the video for a tiny glimpse into his pahadi lifestyle, and to understand what goes into starting a cafe in the mountains, a dream so many of us city-dwellers have.

[@pareshbhandari2555]

amazing one🌟takes a lot of courage to start this journey been to Musafir once and loved their hot chocolate❤️😅 and most importantly the hospitality there🤟 Visiting again for musicathon soon thanks for capturing this in a beautiful way✨

[@Grvkadu]

Kamiyabi aur na kamiyaabi mai bohot he kam antar hota hai par safar uske beech ka bhi bohot he lamba hota hai. Par gaurav bhai ne ye fasla jiya hai aur hum uss safar mai kahi unke sath chale jitna bhi hume uski khushi hai. Koi kuch bhi kahe par ek baat sabko iss insaan k bare mai manani he padegi k inke jaise mehnat koi nahi kar sakta ground pe. Kudos to the person who has made this vlog this was really true and awe-inspiring story for everyone.

[@MusicathonTV]

Gaurav bhaiya , abhi to apne bohot door kab saath me kandhe se kandha Milna kar chalna hai... Dher saara pyar ❤️❤️

[@dinodixit_traveller]

Awesome video Antrik..what an amazing guy Gaurav is … and one thing that you can try with your video is locking the exposure so that the brightness level would be maintained uniformly throughout. Best of luck !!

[@AntarikAnwesan]

Haha yes, thanks for the tip! 😅

@@rachnamittal9017 it's not a place it's a career that you can do your job from anywhere sitting like you can serve a company in India while sitting in Mexico or you can serve a Mexican company sitting in India or South Africa.

Don't get carried away by watching such videos. You will end up leaving your job. There are a lot of cafes there so it's better to do something in your locality.
