Shalini Pandey writes a love letter: 'A little love letter to Manali I spent a month here, shooting for a project, living in the lap of the mountains, and trying to settle into a rhythm far away from home.

'I missed AJ and BIR terribly (My baby dogs). Every single day. There were moments the silence felt heavy... and yet, slowly, Manali started holding me.

In the unspoken kindness of strangers. In the love of Himachali dogs who'd just come sit next to me. In the stillness of early mornings and the scent of pine.

'Avir, a small hole in the wall café, became my safe space. Nutella toast, Maggi, and ginger lemon tea, all made by Gautam with such intention and warmth.

'Pottery, something I've always felt deeply connected to, became a routine on my days off. I found calm in clay, and a kind soul in Sam who made the space feel like mine.

'And then there was Manali Strays, the rescue centre doing truly incredible work with animals. I spent time understanding what they do, and I left with a full heart. If you're reading this, please do support them. They're genuinely changing lives.

'I went to Manali for work, as an actor, as part of a crew, but I'm returning with so much more.

'Moments that grounded me. Places that felt like gentle reminders of who I am. And the quiet, generous love of a town that never asked for anything but gave me everything...'
