For those who haven’t read my last blog, better give that a read before jumping to this on about Ronnie and Barty. You will definitely be lost otherwise.
Many of us harbour dream of travelling and exploring new things in life. However, everyone is not fortunate (or even courageous) enough to live a traveller’s life. But those who are, it is great if they share their experiences with others who can live vicariously through the eyes of travellers.
Today, I’m talking about two such travellers who are spreading the love of travelling through their storytelling. And it’s really contagious. Rohan Thakur aka Ronnie and Bharati Bahrani aka Barty went on a journey and captured it, weaved into a travelogue, and presented it to the world in the form of the web series Way Back Home.
Rohan Thakur aka Ronnie
Ronnie is not only a traveller but also a director and writer. His most famous stint in films is, perhaps, being a camera operator on Neerja.
He has also worked for Hollywood movie Beyond the Known World as photographer, apart from directing my favourite, Way Back Home.
Rohan hails from Manali in Himachal Pradesh. After working for 8 years in the film industry, his focus now is to create video content for the Internet and TV. That means more cool travelling series in the making, and that makes me very happy.
Bharati Bahrani aka Barty
Barty used to work at Shoelace Productions and the creative person who, along with Ronnie, has filmed the series Way Back Home.
You can often figure out that she is behind the camera, hear a word or two occasionally from her.
Barty has vast experience in scripting and she has worked with biggies of Bollywood in several films as script supervisor. She has also worked as assistant director with Phantom.
The two travellers now run their own little company called Ronnie and Barty–A Mountain Film Co. You can find a range of their travel videos on their YouTube channel. They recently released their travelogue, Soul Trails–Life in between Manali and Leh.
The travelling duo goes by the handle @ronnie_and_barty on Instagram.
