I am presently in Nainital and I must say that I can feel the energy in your video. Fabulous research work. Awesome graphics. Amazing naration. I am literally speechless. Now I feel that I know the hills a little better. Thanks a lot. Please also teach us how you put together this beautiful work. PS: Your command of Hindi language is just out of this world. Best wishes my dear younger brother.

[@harrypotter-xy5rl]

What a wonderful video. Narration, visual animations, archival footage, and of course overall content - everything was top notch. The difference in quality when someone does research just for the sake of making a video, vs someone who does it because it's his passion, is quite evident. We need more people like you. Keep the videos coming. Good luck!

I have never visited Nainital. But, your composure and methodology of explaining the bare facts has made me visit Nainital sitting in an easy chair at Delhi. And not only that place but that place through time. God bless You. I will surely visit and stay in Nainital for a considerable time.😍
