Traveling with Dad always brings surprises. At 3 a.m., the motel room suddenly lights up like high noon. I shoot up, bleary-eyed, and there he is—wide awake, smiling, and asking, “Oh, are you up?” as if we’ve both just had a full night’s rest. I mumble something about it still being the middle of the night, but by 4 a.m., he’s at it again—lamps blazing, ready to start the day. It’s equal parts exhausting and endearing. You’ve got to laugh, because sometimes that’s the only way to stay awake and sane.

Our road trip from Kolkata to Santiniketan took a hilarious detour when our mighty truck "Shehzadi" was stopped by true rulers of the road: a stubborn herd of goats! 😂 We had to get out and shoo them along, turning a simple drive into a joyful, bleating obstacle course. This is the real, unscripted magic of Bengal!

Watch the goat-herding chaos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db1PTFzqIW8
