Life Update
July marks six months since I returned home. As I look back, it really does feel like these months have passed by in the blink of an eye. I had no idea what was in store for me when I moved and for the most part, adapting to these changes has taken up quite a lot of my time and energy.
Last month I shared how the time I was spending on my own had helped me gain perspective and clarity on many things. This month has been about building upon that clarity and setting things in motion. This will translate into more writing and music and I can’t wait to share it with you all!

On Varying Pace
We all operate at a varying pace and there is no right or wrong pace when it comes to positive change. Here's how we can be mindful of this in our own lives and that of others.
Taking inspiration from nature and grass fighting the wind, to access our inner resilience when faced with something bigger than us.
In my first slow and eco-travel post, in which I share images and write about the time I spent slowing things down with friends in Khopoli – a small town hidden beneath the Sahyadri mountains by the Patalganga river.
Album Of The Month
I can’t remember exactly when I first heard the album “So Much More” by “Brett Dennen” but it was definitely before I moved to the city. I have been revisiting this album through the past month and strangely enough, the questions Dennen asks through his songs around social justice seem relevant even today. So does the message of accessing hope through the chaos.

Book Of The Month
I rarely read books around mindfulness, so as to approach my writing around it from a place of authenticity. One of the few books that I have read is “Fear” by “Thich Nhat Hanh”. I was given the book by a friend I made while staying at a hostel in Mumbai, which I had visited to attend a sustainability event.
Since I was revisiting an album, I decided to also revisit this book on building a deeper understanding of fear and practical ways on approaching life from a place of fearlessness. Revisiting this book has been particularly helpful for me through this phase of setting things in motion and starting new things.
