It's been time...

'So long I have been in my thoughts, that my heart has yearned for a pause.'

Ah, finally, a moment of reflection amidst the whirlwind of recent months. From the exhilarating leap into a new job, to the bittersweet farewells to certain bonds, and the spontaneous adventures that beckoned, these past few months have been a rollercoaster ride of experiences. It's almost surreal to pause and sift through the kaleidoscope of emotions that have colored this journey. Yet here I am, compelled to capture these fleeting moments with words, to give them the weight and significance they deserve. 

Eventually, I'll break it down everything for you my dear readers, but for now, in this moment of reflection, I'm reminded that life's essence lies in its inherent goodness. Amidst the chaos and the calm, the losses and the gains, there's a reassuring comfort in the simple truth that life, with all its complexities, is indeed good. And perhaps, in the grand scheme of things, that's all that truly matters.


Goa—a symphony of sun, sand, and sisterhood. As I reflect on our thrilling trip to this vibrant state, I'm reminded of the sheer magic that unfolded. From lazy days spent lying by the shore, lost in contemplation of the boundless sea, to the carefree laughter shared with my closest companions, every moment felt like a precious jewel in the crown of life. Basking under the Goan sun with my best companions by my side, I couldn't help but tick off a long-standing dream from my bucket list. Ps: No one will ask how I persuaded my parents to allow me to go on this trip.

 

Driven by dissatisfaction, I dared to chase a brighter horizon, and fate smiled upon me with a dazzling offer: a chance to work with the Government of Madhya Pradesh through its Tourism Department. From that moment onward, life has been a symphony of excitement and fulfillment. The days blur into a kaleidoscope of activities, yet amidst the whirlwind, I find a profound sense of satisfaction in knowing that every moment is dedicated to a skill I love investing in. Busy? Absolutely. But every ounce of effort is infused with passion, making the journey fun and utterly worthwhile.

Embarking on a new career journey meant not just changing my job, but also my location—a move that inevitably led to the gradual drifting apart from some cherished connections. While the ache of distance remains, I've come to embrace its necessity. Those connections, once so deeply intertwined with my existence, now exist as precious memories, each one a testament to the chapters of my life. It's a bittersweet realization, yet amidst all the new changes, I find solace in the unwavering truth that life continues to unfold, brimming with its own unique blessings and opportunities. It's a gentle reminder that while people may come and go, the beauty of life persists, ever-present and ever-resilient.

Change, a mantra I've long championed, remains a steadfast companion on the journey of life. Yet, amidst its transformative power, I've learned a crucial lesson: while embracing change is essential, it's equally vital to keep our gaze fixed forward, not lingering on what's slipping away in the rearview mirror. So, heed my advice: ponder those words, let them seep into your soul, for their resonance will only grow more profound as you journey onward, uncovering the mysteries that await at each new stop along the way.

Until we meet again in the pages of my next blog, dear readers, anticipate an abundance of smiles, tales, and love to pour forth. Stay safe, stay inspired, and Keep Reading! Love, Love!

In the Heart of Jhabua, Madhya Pradesh: Lessons from the Land and Its People (Part 1)

Jhabua, nestled in the heart of Madhya Pradesh, is a region that embodies the spirit of simplicity, warmth, and resilience. Having visited this beautiful district twice, I’ve come to cherish the connections I’ve built with its people, the Bhil community. Their hospitality, rich culture, and profound knowledge of the land never cease to amaze me. Every visit leaves me with new learnings and a deeper appreciation for their way of life. One of the highlights of my trips has always been staying with the tribal Bhil families in rural Jhabua. There is something uniquely grounding about living amidst nature, surrounded by people who live in harmony with their environment. Their food, for instance, is a testament to their simplicity and love. The large makka ki roti, made from locally grown maize and served with affection, is a meal that warms both the heart and the soul. The taste is enhanced not just by its freshness but by the genuine hospitality that accompanies it. These experiences, acco...

The Bhil tribe, native to the Jhabua region in Madhya Pradesh, has often been misunderstood and misrepresented. For decades, stereotypes have painted them as "dangerous" or even "uncivilized."
