Summers mean vacations.
Vacations mean holiday trips.
So, this summer, Rediff.com's Ashish Narsale gathered up his family to visit the beautiful state of Himachal Pradesh.
What memories did they come back with?
Take a look:

As the icy breeze welcomed them, Shubhda Narsale bid goodbye to summer's sweltering heat.
At least until she reached Mumbai again.
