He said “At least you’ve done 2 big road trips (East to West and West coast) after the North-South Road trip in 2012. It was nothing more than just venting out the frustration of being locked down for the last couple of years. We were just cursing covid in general and remembering the pre-covid times and the nice mega road trips that we had gone on. Some days later, my friend and BHPian avinashsg and I were at a restaurant for dinner. That discussion ended there with nothing concretely decided. I proposed that we plan something within the country. But we needed a vacation without a doubt! During one casual discussion sometime in April, my wife and I accepted that a foreign trip was difficult in the short term. A Japan trip when our friends are there, could not become a reality. But then, who on earth knew what was in store the next year!Ģ020 came and we all know what unfolded. But since our friends would need some time to settle down, we decided that we will plan it in 2020 season. Since March-May is the Cherry Blossom time, it was the perfect time.

Open-Shell will work in Windows 11, but it adds its own menu alongside the existing Start menu as opposed to replacing it If you’re unable - or unwilling - to pay for a Start menu replacement, then the good news is that Open-Shell is a free and open-source alternative that continues to work in Windows 11. You get 30 days to try out - and see if you get along with - the new features, and if you do, it costs a one-off $5.99 to keep. ![]() Start11 also gives you more control over the Windows taskbar, restoring those missing options when right-clicking as well as allowing you to change its appearance. Click the down arrow next to your chosen style to tweak it further with options such as compact and grid available, or click the Settings button to fine-tune it further.

Like all good Start-menu replacement tools, Start11 aims to give you complete control over how the Start menu looks and behaves in Windows 11. ![]()
