Hi…I am Vaibhav Tiwari, people love to call me VT or Vicky. Born and brought up in the city of Nawabs, Lucknow but I like the old name of Lucknow i.e. Awadh. I love to travel, exploring new places, and meeting new people and not to forget tasting mouth-watering local cuisines which you just can’t miss.
Although, not all get the chance to live their dream or passion, so it happened with me too. Being the guy from 80s, where everybody is pushed to studies to become Engineer, Doctor, and most important anyhow crack the govt. exam and get the job, then “Life set hai boss”.
But being an average guy in studies, my family understood and started saying “Matter hai, tumse na ho payega bandhu” but somehow I managed to be there in this mad race and started working with big MNCs, after completing my studies.
And somewhere, zeal for that travel is being lost due to time constraint or I should say we ourself make it constrained as we don’t want to do or go an extra mile. As now I was earning good and the time has arrived for my first SUV i.e. SAFARI STORM after 14 years, the much-awaited beast in my life for which I dreamt every day since 1998.
I believe with the fulfillment of this dream, flash cards of traveling also started in mind.
We all stick to the tight deadline of meeting project targets and meeting with clients, why not we should also put tight deadlines for our self to achieve our dreams and passion. I WILL now.
Now I will explore myself with this journey of travel and food, uncover the known but still unknown places along with my buddy Hem Ji.
I am assuring you to get best from my Safar on Safari
I Hemendra Dutt Shukla grown in the city called as Lucknow “ Jiskebaaremeinkehtehain ( kehar Gul se rangin-tarhai ,khaar-e- Lucknow ,harkhumar se behtarhaikhumar – e –lucknow ,haikisaasman me takat jo chudaye Lucknow, Lucknow hum par fidahai hum fida-e- Lucknow .
Have completed my education from the university of Lucknow and started my carrier as assistant computer in charge in district magistrate office as a ad hock appointee, later I found that is not my cup of tea so I started exploring more exiting avenues fortunately I got a opportunity in one of the biggest MNC in 2005 since I am part of that organization.
One thing which was inherited in me to exploring the new locations that zeal was developed in me since my childhood ,my father who is fond of traveling pilgrimages very frequently but by his own vehicle and to carry as many as companions which can be accommodated till the age of 20 I was able to captured most of the renowned pilgrimages and several of tourist places across India due to his untimely demised my journey suddenly got stopped for few years as soon the things reconstructed my hunger and zeal to explore the new destination again woken up.
In 2010 I bought my first car that was i10 and the journey began although its small car but my best companion I explored few unsung destinations like berinag, munshiyari, thal, galu temple, lohaghat, mori, birthi falls and so many but that was alone expedition being working in private sector time was always a constraint but still managed ,In 2016 one fine day I met my ‘chaddi buddy “ vikki in same organization after 13 years we both were residing very nearby earning a daily bread moved us in different directions, but life is all about this , than “Jab we met again” we found that our aspiration and thought process towards the exploring the world is still pumping our heart to go all out for it, hence we planned a band of brothers and decided to hold the steering in ours hands and the zeal of lets go for it in our hearts
And here we are introducing ourselves and our intent to showcase the unsung places, food traditions, cultural trends , does and don’ts.
