When the journey becomes the destination…
Seeing this video from the Kangra–Ranital stretch, with the Dhauladhars looming ahead, reminded me of an idea I’ve held on to for decades.
You can never reach the end of a rainbow.
And that’s exactly the point.
I’ve always believed there’s an important difference between a mission and an aspiration.
A mission can be time bound. You set a goal, you work towards it and, if all goes well, you get there.
But the highest aspirations should always stay just out of reach.
For decades, I’ve used the rainbow to explain our Group’s Core Purpose. Not as a destination we will one day arrive at, but as something that keeps drawing us forward.
That’s what this road brought to mind.
The Dhauladhars seem to sit right at the end of it. You know you’ll never get there. But you keep driving towards them.
Some destinations are not meant to be reached.
They are there to give direction to the journey.

Mandi, Himachal
Beauty that is almost unreal.
My late Aunt, Mrs. Indi Suresh Mahindra hailed from Mandi and often mentioned its landscape and urged me to visit.
I should have listened to her…
