soliloquies- A year to the journey

It’s been a year since I’ve been to Rajasthan. Quitting a corporate job to live in rural Rajasthan seemed fancy but frankly, I was scared and shivered to the worst. 

Blank stares. Silence doubts. Spent a lot of time with myself before preparing myself to come here. 

Did not know the language

Did not know the customs 

Did not know the culture 

Did not know if it had basic necessities. 

Did not know if the place had safe water. Well, there are people living you’re not special person off from the earth, I told myself. 

I was anxious to know about everything but, I realized, is there anything can I change or prepare if I know about it. I thought, why can’t I go and be there and learnt what the place is about.
