When I stepped out of my GM home, I was not sure how my summer was going to pass. After spending an eventful summer, I'm still struggling to come in terms with how magical and beautiful this summer turned out to be teaching me the right lessons at the righ time.
The last days of June was bittersweet with the turbulence I had in my life. Just before I was leaving, Tridisha and Snigdha hosted a dinner, very thoughtful of them. Before that, got a chance to catch up with Adhira, Epsa and Gayatri. They treated me with the berry pancakes along with spanish omlette.
Before I could process the change, I was on the train to france, a small town in pyrenees mountain ranges. I was disappointed by the way the transitions were becoming. I let the past pass by and tried to be present in the moments. I traveled to meet Dan and also Lola. Lola has been the best companion, always staying around sharing love. A month in the nestle of nature. A much needed stay to ground myself. Also, I met amazing people- Dan, Roberta, David, Karen, Bart, Yannick, Clara and many more.
After a month, I was again unsure of where to head and what to do. A lot of uncertainty. I learnt to fall back on my intuition rather than logic and headed to switzerland. Landing in switzerland at the right time, I got a chance to meet Tridisha and Snigdha again catching up on their plans and journeys. Three of us spent a lovely day, sharing what's happening at our end. Aniruddha & Tridisha graciously hosted me, the minute I asked him for the help. Thanks Ani & Tridisha! After two days, I was back on my journey, heading to the Switzerland Captial- Bern.
This time, Bern became a unexpected happiest place. I was surrounded by people, people and a lot of people. At times when, it was overwhelming a series of long morning walks were taken and I was in a good place. I enjoyed the most, living in the state capital, exploring the places in my own way. A lot of interesting people with alot of interesting stories. With Karen's push, I was inclined to attend Vipassana contemplating on outward and inward journey. My outward journeys are filled with people, food, art, architecture and I realised that inward journey is as important as the outward journeys and headed to Germany to contemplate on impermenance.
Working with different people for 10 days in the kitchen has helped me to shift my relation with work, food, people and nature. I was at my best again amidst nature. The more we distance ourselves from the nature, the more we fail at our health and sanity.
