- An ode to my hometown, Nainital using timelapses.
Each of the video clips used is made up of hundreds of photos, and each of those photos was taken within walking distance of my home in Nainital - Clifton House.

Here's the complete text:
THE REFUGE OF MY HEART
an ode to Nainital
Which of these hills recognize me
as I revisit a mountain path?
Which of these houses hold on to
the stories of my past?
Which particle of sunshine, soaked up by a tree,
still bears my childhood glance?
Where is the gust of wind that ruffled my hair
and made the oak leaves dance?
Which dreams of mine have drifted down
to the bottom of this emerald lake?
Who has gone, who has remained,
what promises did I break?
Every time I return, my mind casts out
these tangled-up fishing nets
Which part of you remembers?
Which part of me forgets?
Does the glow of these lights reach Naini’s children
in far corners of the Earth?
What magic spells dance in this enchanted valley;
the city of my birth.
I am here, though I am far away;
my cradle, my bedrock, my start.
The mountains of my memory.
The refuge of my heart. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Blown absolutely out of my mind....memories go back to Feb 1987....my husband....a Kumaoni and a Sherwoodian... was crazy absolutely crazy about the place... all that remains now are memories just memories.... Vishi Singh...you've done a fantabulous job . Please keep posting more about the place .
Childhood holidays. Beautiful learning around nature. Liiting music.Majestic Himalayas.There could not have been better times.Thank you for refreshing memories
I've been in Nainital for 16 years , every scene reminded me of my childhood , seeing your video just made me skip 5 minutes and it was a sort of re-living my childhood .
The narration was so well , brought tears to my eyes .
And certainly the Title justifies itself - The refuge of my heart "NAINITAL"
And then reality strikes of how we have destroyed Nainital.
Beautiful video and yet there was a time when Nainital was more beautiful.
This composition took me back to almost 65 years ago to my first memories of Nainital my birthplace too! My schooling too was in Nainital so it is like my mother town!
Thank you for Vishi and Rudy for this exquisite rendering in words and pictures. Go bless you both.
Awesome video
Just B E A utiful
Thanks for letting us know that there are still people left who wants to stick to their motherland and to the love of it
Nainital is heaven, and bro you have done a brilliant job.. Good luck
Lived all my life here, and just moved out 2 months ago. My college professor sent me the video and it has really made my day. Thank you miss and ofcourse Mr. Rishi Singh!
Always in gratitude to have walked and lived there and met such auspicious people like Babaji & all devoted people for the living G(O)D and all humanity! Incredible thanks! When I get homesick for Nainital & the families in Kapoorlodge I watch that film!
Amazingly done, i have been associated with this state since more than 15 years as tourism professional, it was treat to watch - truly an ode to Nainital
One should get that treat of the heart for the tourism for Uttarakanth and India to give it as a present in Video format to the world, Dea friends!
This is so touching. The early hour of my day is platinum hour where I remember, reflect, meditate and contemplate, all immersed in gratitude to God.
Today you made men d all this in less than 6 minutes.
This is the best that I have read and seen in a long long time.
You made every corner of my heart come alive by bringing the memories of both the place and a family that I can never forget.
Thanks Vishi and Rudy.
Ravi Malhan Thank you so much, Ravi! We should meet more often!

Top class. Shared this with my All C wife. Now im a hero. :))
Sending LOVE into your homes Vishi & Rudi!
wow amazing so beautiful
i was born in Nainital. and i was 13 when my father died my mother brought me back to Kanpur. Everything good that i can write about this video, has already been commented. And i really wish that i could write my emotions here, which i cant. the video touched me. and the poetry served as the backbone. Everything in this video, every clip, every photo, i have felt it. Those cold breezes when they touch your face and the full moon is up, the entire city down and you're on that hill. time pauses. what else can i say. love you guys for makin this video.and thank you so very much.peace.
Just revived my childhood....Really Awesome!!!
This is by far the most beautiful video I have ever seen on Nainital. It has breathtaking views and beautifully captured mountains. It not just enhances the beauty of the hills & lake but also touches our hearts by the lovely poetry. The font used is beautiful. Every shot is mesmerising. Love the video to the core. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece.
Exactly.
Quite often we are driven by desires, ego, religion, some ideology, threads of cultural relativism, emotionalism, intutionism. Sometimes by love and occasionally by hatred; but once in a while, in a tender moment, beyond those times of glory or shame, of ambition or fame, our unconscious mind takes us to a place where we derive an extremely pure sense of divine power... Watching this video has taken me to a place similar to that..Kudos to your work and more importantly the thought behind the work!!
OH MY GOD! THIS VIDEO WAS SOO BEAUTIFUL! THE NIGHT TIME, STARS WAS JUST A.M.A.Z.I.N.G 🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Barkha Marks Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.

Amazing :-) bro
one of the best videos I have seen. Kudos for the hardwork!
4:10 to 4:15, what was that glowing in lake? looks beautiful.....
Those are diyas being lit by row-boats for a festival - I forget which festival it was, but this happens once a year. It was just sheer luck that I was filming on that day!
Epic, truly amazing , superb.
What model did you use for time lapse and more motion?
Thank you, Vikram. I used a very simple set up: a Nikon D800 on a tripod for the images and LRTimelapse + FCPX for post production.
With kindness radiating into this world of ours! Nainital Thee Eye of the G(O)DDESS always brings birth of stars into the day by day world of ours New stars are born in human dress and radiance in beauty authenticity and action! Thanks to the living Masters of world wide Sanatan Dharma, my Dear friends!
