#Talesofmywanderlust will start a thread on my travels..I have an alternate blog which I never wrote..May be I start it this year.I travel to find parts of myself which lay dormant..laughter which freely flows! Goofiness I keep to myself usually..solitude and calm! Coffee first
Destination or Journey is important..Panda said it's the company! Company of music..friends and children chatter..amidst this we reached Bidar fort! Built 600 years ago, ruins have so many untold tales... Glorious ruins and I felt like a Last queen🤪
You finally arrive! What's a vacation when you don't put your feet up and read some poetry by the lake..Vilaspur Lake ..JLR Black buck! The lonely palash tree..."Flame of the forest" took my heart way..well it isn't lonely.. thriving in solitude! Softly evening was welcomed..
A Black buck... remember the famous case?they are endangered species and found in the grasslands here..Safari in an open Jeep is always fun..red soil..dry grasslands and blackbucks running around enjoying themselves in their territory! We intruders should respect that! Landscapes
Whenever I get overwhelmed..all I want to do is look up at the sky...Dark nights are filled with starry skies and getting away from the city is only way to look up at sky! Star gazing was unmissable..last few winter nights, cool breeze and camp fire were bonus! Some oaths taken😉
My favourite part of visiting a JLR is a sunrise trek..birds twitter and the beauty of the flora and fauna..Kids thoroughly enjoyed the trek..few falls here and there! Views are worth the falls and huffing... Gorgeous trees!!
Walks and views!! Nothing can be soothing than walking aimlessly and let serendipity do the magic for you!
Yes I did find myself back from all the lows and madness...There is always that one day on vacation that changes you! Hit the pedal and drive away..! Make way for new memories while cherishing the old ones! #Talesofmywanderlust
Short trip to Goa..#Goadiaries a thread
South Goa colva beach beautiful white sands and very clean! Was fascinated by the shells this time, how a life survives in a shell! Waves literally talk to you! I can still hear those waves!
Since it was n th visit to Goa was looking for off beat places and we visited an old Portuguese house built in 13th century, the lady who manages the place gave us a nice tour,We enjoyed the tour and we all ended up singing in the place, as though deja vu we were in the ball room
As tweeple suggested we went to Tambdi surla temple! Best decision, monsoon added the beauty further! Temple is located among the hills, with streams surrounding it! With few water falls around!
At the worst lows of my life, when I had no clue where life was taking me, uncertainty around me, darkness I can still touch and feel, lost .. emotionally exhausted and numb. That empty evening, I just got out the yoga mat, spread it on the floor..next 40 minutes I just streched.
After that for the first time in months I felt myself..as if I knew this version of me. Sleepless nights followed by waking up early just to feel myself on the mat. Numerous times I have cried on the mat, surrendered bowed to the universe.
That continued slowly found myself and balance within myself as I was breathing with each asana..Since then, Yoga is my constant companion! Yoga for me is nothing physical..its an union with myself! Its truly a Journey within!
Thread on what not to say to a widow/Be strong for your child is another one..she is your responsibility now.Yes ofcourse.. One thing I realised is that people are so so insensitive when it comes to grief, people talked about their medical issues, when they came to attend rituals
Just because Iam a Doctor.Losing a loved one is hard enough, takes lifetime to heal and people ask how it happened instead of offering condolences. They expect you to answer?? Really? If you don't answer they get offended.
You can't be like this forever, you need to move on..move on from what?? Please don't say that, grief is such a personal thing. People need time to accept, process..it can take any amount of time..respect that.
1. After an entire week tirelessly working on ground and still following up with non-stop calls..I am trying to do few things to stay sane. 220 covid patients under our care.. overwhelming challenges #medtwitter Here is something I am trying to do.
Exercise everyday with due precautions: walk/ yoga atleast 30 minutes a day.
Remain calm: it's a tough time for everyone.. reminding myself constantly that staying calm and working smart are only ways.
Embracing uncertainty..this strain is making us helpless, it's infectious and in some rapidly progressive..not able to predict the outcomes. Reminder we are doing our best with given circumstances and given resources.
