the phoolish girl
My journey has taken me to distinct places across India & the world- I have found myself in remote villages to volunteering in international refugee camps, at the India-Pakistan borders to all the metro cities, small townships to global cities. I feel blessed to have experienced this at a young age. I wish to live & travel more meaningfully and contribute to the ecosystems that have nourished me. A BIG appreciation towards all the traditional communities that have kept the century-old knowledge alive. I hope to contribute towards the sustainability of our ancient wisdom that values our natural heritage & well-being. I aspire to build a life that helps me learn about my cultural roots and share them with the world.
Heritage is a living eco-system
'Historical sites, Museums or Cultural institutions' are probably the most common response whenever someone says heritage. I have been to numerous such places across India and have enjoyed my travel understanding about them.

Sacred & Spiritual
Indian heritage is one of the oldest in the world and has wisdom that is relevant even after 5000 years.
My experiences understanding the ancient heritage still living and breathing around us- only makes me wonder about the deep knowledge in it. Let's explore more!

Food is an integral part of our heritage and an incredibly important one too. Our culture regards food as the biggest source of nourishment, medicine and life. Food has the the power to rejuvenate and heal us from within. I am thrilled to immerse myself into this vast world of wisdom about our food systems

Crafts are beauitful and a true representation of Indian landscapes, ecology and the traditional craftsmanship present in this ancient land. Let's learn about a tradition that's comes from a 5000 year old history present today but dissapearing rapidly.

Rural Villages
A rural village is not a place for travel for the current world. However, I find villages to be a hotspot for knowledge and culture that's deeply misunderstood and unknown to a modern eye. Here's a hope to learn about our Indian villages and more.

Indian Heritage is rooted in the principles of sustainability. It is a culture that teaches us the value of nature, to be grateful about the abundance our biodiversity provides us in our life.
Here's an attempt to learn about sustainability from a cultural lens and practice in my own life.
