प्रवास : Ladakh : In Love With Ladakh - 7

'

It is about the journey...

    Today, I completed 4 years to my first ever 'Leh-Ladakh' trip! This is the place which made me fall in love with THE HIMACHAL. After that I have been to Mcleodganj, Dharamshala, Dalhousie but I couldn't connect so deeply with any other place. I still remember, my friend Aanandi Joshi had said during our visit to Pangong Lake that "it's not about the destination, it is about the journey!". I was not mature enough to understand what she meant back then! However, paradoxically, I was enjoying each and every minute of being there & hence, as I always say, I could leave a tiny piece of my heart in that magical land! 

At the later stage of my life, I tried to make the tastiest lemonade from my share of the lemons offered by dear zindagi ! I enjoyed the process thoroughly and then, Hola! I realised again that it is absolutely about the journey! 

Anyway, I will take your leave as this post is no longer about my trip but has turned into the Ted-Talk! but hey Andy, what you said back then is going to stay with me lifelong! So yeah, Thank you! :)

Juley!

इतर : Social Media Detox

Many people think that going off-social media surely has something to do with a person going through a bad phase! Naah; not at all ! I enjoyed social media detox for 15 days! Here are my reasons to take a break!

🌸 To take the time off from the outer world to look into the inner world (Started practicing meditation under the guidance of my dear friend Jāī Parāṁjape ) 🌸 To practice non-attachment and non-habitualization of materialistic things (baby steps!) 🌸 To control the social media addiction and to think, is it so necessary to display each and everything on social media ? 🌸 To check whether the FOMO can take a toll of my mental well-being (& thankfully it didn't !! yaay!) 🌸 To put the wandering mind on rest who keeps on absorbing the information but doesn't invest the time in processing 🌸 To enjoy my own company (which I anyway do, but this time, I did something new! On one of the nights, put all the lights off, switched on the bottles with shimmering lights and danced on some Ed Sheeran songs!) . Try it if you haven't already! You might fall in love with that state! 😌 . #socialmediadetox #selflove #mentalwellbeing #OffSocialMedia
