Wankhede Blast... tremors felt at Reshi

When Gambhir, Kholi, Dhoni and Yuvi blasted at Sri Lankan ballers in the Mumbai Wankhede Stadium last night tremors were felt in this remote part of the world.As soon as Dhoni hit his last six to prove the world that India's is the best team, our staff burst crackers to prove that cricket is a common language that cemented the whole of Indian nation.Rejoicing was prolonged. Instant bonfire,singing and revelry dominated the otherwise calm and quite Reshi valley.

"The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse" congratulates the Indian cricket team and each Indian for this long waited and well deserved victory.

Reshi Calls...

With elections round the corner, anticipated change of guard at the Writers, and GJMM participating in the elections the political situation in the hills is expected to return to normalcy post elections. So dear visitors pack your bags and buckle up for a quick visit to "The Reshi Retreat and the Farmhouse" before monsoon sets in. Yesterday it snowed at Zuluk again and wow what a divine scene it was.

Strikes a blessing in disguise.

Political uncertainty and a long lean period caused thereof in otherwise a busy tourist season has also been a blessing in disguise for "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse". Mani and his friends are working hard to remove all the stones and rocks on the west end of the farmhouse for a bit of landscaping.Future plans for a little garden and play space for children seem to be coming up faster than earlier planned. And thanks to these continuous strikes in the hills.

strike continues...

General strike called by GJMM  continues for third day. Hope all is going to be fine soon. We earnestly feel sorry for all our guests who had to change their plans because of these strikes. However "The Reshi Retreat and Farmhouse"  is always there to welcome you in days to come. Better Late(r) than never....
