My journey worth writing a book

On my flight to Goa. A literal blank state of mind. Two seats empty beside me, a perfect situation to relax and type in a few words. Let me excavate some thoughts from deep within. 2019, the yoga school that appeared as a serendipity, was my first centre of training. Not a single person to…

Days piled up on days like layers of pancake. The sky changing colour with seasons. Murky greys to bright blues. The warmth of oranges and reds and yellows. Sometimes purple too.
