Mountain Home Away from Home.

The new home of the Mathurs is a place to ruminate, meditate, heal, think, find the soul once again, relook at and prioritise life again…where you can write, paint, call in the Muse in an enviable environment…a place to chill and eat great home-cooked food served with warmth, love and hospitality…a place from where you can go off for treks in the forest or a walk around a beautiful lake and pick up a political discourse at the tea shop…a place that has various Himalayan destinations within short and long distances around…a place that is – dare we say – a home away from home…??? Everyone has dreams. So did we. The amazing part is...the dream came true. Wooden floors, sloping wooden roof, large windows and a view that money can’t buy --- tree-tops within touching distance all around the house, an oak forest in front, a lake on the right, barking deer and birds flitting around, circled with moss, fern and dry leaf-laden paths. So here we are – Pramod – Dad, Boss, Documentary film-maker and CEO, Husband, Householder, Patriarch-on-the make; Neelima – Mum, also-Boss, Executive Producer, Writer and Trainer, Wife, Home-maker, Matriarch-on-the-make; Varun - the elder child, a son – the charmer, the artist, chivalrous and nuts about music; Reeti – the younger one, a girl – tomboy and total feminity all in one, the practical manager with a heart for the down-and-out including pups she finds along her way and equally nuts about music; – all are watching this dream in a surreal experience before their eyes. Pramod and Neelima have taken a huge step and relocated from the big metropolis of New Delhi to a village in Uttarakhand – Thapaliya Mehragaon in Naukuchiatal, Block Bhimtal, District Nainital. That doesn’t mean work has stopped. Video productions of SPOTFILMS in Delhi and other parts of the country; training and advocacy projects of FORMEDIA in India and abroad; international co-productions of STEPS INDIA co-ordinated through the internet. It’s all happening even as a new life begins. Thanks to internet, google chat, skype, youtube, sendspace, youtube, vimeo, teamviewer. This is all about technology and old world charm wrapped in one package. Unbelievable? Check it out…
