Heritage Transport Museum
I remember visiting museums in Kolkata during my childhood pertaining to my interest in History. From then till today I often look for places which could take me back in time. Antique stuff displays the evolution of mankind and lifestyle. Although I am not a huge fan of automobiles but for sure I didn't want to miss a chance to visit a museum which offers opportunities to explore the magnificence of history. I am talking about Heritage Transport Museum, one of its kind in India. The idea of this museum is the brainchild of Mr. Tarun Thakral.
The love for cars pushed Mr. Thakral to start his own collection back in 1994. This was not an easy task as most of the vintage cars were either rusting under some shed or inside a royal palace. But when there is passion no goal is far. After some time he laid the foundation of heritage transport trust in 2006 aiming to build the first transport museum.
With some help from private investors and collectors, finally, in 2013 his dream came true by establishing the 1st transport museum of India.
The museum is unique and would leave one awestruck. In total they have 75 vintage and classic cars on display. Apart from cars they also have bikes, a 1930 railway saloon, marine and air transport along with a small aircraft. Outside they have steam engines, buses, tram, traffic signal and other attractive transport vehicles.
The objective of this museum is to showcase the public and private mode of transportation in India from the start and its evolution.
How to reach- Located 35Km from Hero Honda Chowk in Gurgaon. You can use google map and take the Jaipur highway crossing kherki dhaula toll.
This is a MUST visit place. Although I have clicked all the vehicles but not possible to put everything on this blog.

Phone or DSLR- Know your camera need
The objective of this post is to help people choosing the right camera
I have often seen people buying a DSLR just because their friends have it or fellow bloggers use it. Most of the times, instead of an actual need, it's become a status symbol. So, before you think which camera is good, you must understand your real need.
First let’s understand the kind of cameras or devices available in the market.
1. Cell phones- Are quite advanced these days and can take good pictures.
Advantage- Small, easy to carry, not-expensive, small picture size which are easy to edit and share.
Disadvantage- (Only if you are serious about photography)- Limited zoom, not good for portrait shots, print version is not sharp and lacks low light capability.
An entry level point and shoot camera
|
Advanced level point and shoot camera |
Advantage- Good battery life, compact and
easy to carry, sharp pictures, no post-processing of images required.
Disadvantage- Limited functions and fixed lens,
fixed zoom (in most cases)
Advantage- Can click very sharp and
unbelievable images, top notch low light capability, long battery life,
advanced features like extra flash and microphone attachments, interchangeable
lens, extended zoom with telephoto lenses and upgraded in all aspects of
photography.
DSLR
has some different categories like crop sensors, full frame and mirror less
camera. I am not covering these because this will confuse the reader.
Hence,
coming back to the topic which one you should buy. If you have deep interest in
photography, start with a point and shoot camera because the functions are easy
to learn. There are some advance products available in the market which you can
start with. Once you overcome the limitations choose an entry level DSLR with
the kit lens (lens comes along with the camera) and a zoom lens. These
days there are many options where companies like Nikon offer a combo deal. I
used my SONY DSC-H7 for 5 years before switching to Nikon D3300.
If you are a blogger or vlogger (Travel,
food, fashion and all kind) where the objective is a good picture or video for
the vlog or blog, I would suggest an entry level or an advance point and shoot
camera. Vloggers also need a good Bluetooth enabled microphone for clear sound
and they should be aware of video editing.
It’s totally upto you what camera you
want to buy. The choice will depend on your interest, need and budget to begin
with.
PS- If you have any questions or doubts, please feel free to
ask in comments. :)
