For me, there’s no country quite like India—nowhere else pulls me through such a whirlwind of emotions. One moment I’m completely in love, the next I’m overwhelmed, and at times I even hate it. One thing never changes: India stays with me, deep in my heart.
It’s wildly diverse, colourful, bold, raw, and often beautifully noisy. During the ten days in Goa however I experienced peace and tranquillity.
This time was no exception, the last six weeks have been intense and overwhelming. But it has also been six fantastic weeks, where I explored new places and rediscovered places I had visited before. It was fantastic to meet my friends Neha and Anmol in Delhi and spend some time with them. Ten days of yoga in the south of Goa reconnected me with myself and it was fantastic to meet my friend Pardeshi again at Little Cove and finally see the new resort from my friend Ravi with my own eyes and spend some time with him. Mumbai was mainly about food and what a fantastic experience that has been!
Everywhere I looked there was a story unfolding, a sense of possibility in the air, and a kind of aliveness I can’t find anywhere else. India is simply a vivid storm of contrast in all of its sights, sounds and smells. Once it touches you, it stays!
India confused me and overwhelmed me. Then, I left and I realised I miss it more than I can ever explain. India, danyawad!
