Welcome to golden summers at our grandparents’ homes in small-town Himachal Pradesh and Utah – the kind that felt endless and full of wonder. From catching minnows and gazing at a star-studded sky, to the soft ache of remembering what’s now gone, we examine what made those days feel so magical. What is it like to go back (or not go back) to those places of our childhood as adults? Nostalgia brings a swirl of joy, longing, and a little bit of sadness too. We talk about recreating the essence of those summers in our lives now, and what it means to have the courage to create a new legacy. Tune in for heartfelt reflections, idyllic vibes, and a return to slowness and nature.
