I asked myself almost the same question around 6 years ago and all that my heart yearned for was- to discover a passion, find a peaceful village in middle of the high mountains and learn meditation. I don't know why, but it was something my heart always longed for, since my early graduation days.. but I could never do it, due to my social and financial fears.
After many years of hesitation, one day, however, i finally gathered some courage to leave the security of society and taking a step into the uncertainty. I wandered from here to there for a few months, with empty pockets; and finally found a serene village where I always wanted to live. Thankfully, life also supported me well during all this. I got a cool source of income in the village and also discovered my passion for photography and blogging.
And, today, that's exactly where I'm. Living in the middle of virgin forest, putting my energies into my passion, exploring forest and learning meditation, along with a pretty good bunch of friends :)
Thanks for initiating the discussion over such a life changing topic and giving me a reason to reflect back & write a few words in gratitude.
