Travelling Solo to the Himalayas: Why, Where and What I Learnt.

By Reema Sathe.

Traveling opens my mind, helps me learn new principles of life, and unlearn some. I have travelled alone for work plenty of times, but this year, I decided to take a vacation to the hills of Kumaon - alone. 

My only agenda for this trip: To rediscover my inner strength and take a bigger leap of faith in life.

Netala, Uttarakhand: Less Networks, More Connection.

By Namita Kulkarni.

If places were books, Netala would be that rare timeless classic sitting on a hard-to-reach shelf, in a less-frequented aisle of a quaint bookshop that only incorrigible bookworms make their way to. No snazzy cover jacket to grab eyeballs, no stellar reviews announced on its back cover, no catchy tagline, no hashtag-endorsed popularity, not even a shred of well-deserved pride displayed for admiration. Just unassuming dust-laden covers holding between them a world that could enchant and devour anyone who stepped in. An exterior that couldn't possibly have hinted at the grandeur inside. Much like the harsh terrain that precedes this well-kept secret of a village.
