'Balancing the act' talks about how you manage your job and experience the world. (Before covid-19 got to this planet) How difficult is it for you to write your story? A story that the world should know of. A story of not the most famous villages and towns. But your unique take on life, travel, food and everything in the middle.

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us"

Well, this is what I do with mine. I listen to stories get inspired and take on learnings from the wise.

I trust you will give this an ear and more importantly tell your story to the world.

Well having the first hand experience of Abhishek Mande Bhot who is an independent journalist who works with companies like Microsoft, GQ and the Washington Post. He is also a columnist for Moneycontrol.com.

    So, which lense did he choose to show us when he visited Kashmir? Definitely not all the local tourist spots or usual go-to places.
