23 April ‘21

Okay, so the title might have intrigued you by now and you would’ve already started thinking “what this Guy is upto now” he he… rightly said na… and yes you’re absolutely right, me being me, this is the new fitoor and trust me its not just a fitoor but a reality in making, don’t know exactly when but yes sometime in the coming years. Haan, toh build up ho gaya, ab seedhe aata hoon mudde pe ki what am I trying to share here… so let me take you on a journey and make you experience something interesting.

Before starting, I need to make you understand the logic of the title, why “SA-WE”. So basically its pronounced as “सैवी”. Now the logic behind this, Maa ka naam is Savita, so this is the short n cool name “Savi” (yes, this is the normal spelling) but main toh main hoon… normal is too boring for me. So, “SA” has 3 logics. 1- In Rajasthani language, “सा” means “ji”, its used to express “respect”. 2. In Sanskrit, “सा” means “समानता होने पर भी कुछ कमी का भाव” “पूरा ना होने पर भी बहुत कुछ”. 3. In layman’s term, S & A, Maa and mere naam ke initials hain. and “We” is to represent हम सब, yes all of us and this includes you as well. So all in all, that’s how this name came in. Hansi toh bahut aa rahi hogi padhte hue, par kya karun hoon main thoda paagal, hamesha kehta hoon na.

Visualise this now, you’re on a road trip/vacation/travelling/xyz with friends or family or someone or solo. Location is somewhere in Himachal/Uttarakhand/North East (if you love Mountains) and Rajasthan (if you love Desert), sorry beach lovers aapke liye option abhi mila nahi hai, abhi in dono mein se choose kar lo pls.

You’re at a secluded place, with no market or joints in the vicinity. Only thing you can see is natural beauty all around you, and clear skies above you. In short, door door tak, na aadmi na aadmi ki zaat, sirf aap aur aapki khamoshi aur agar log hain saath toh unki baatein (aka chapad chapad) no offences to people who speak nonstop🤣🤣. You’re in this moment and you stay put for a good amount of time, say 1-2 hrs or even more. Photos click kar liye, dp’s/statuses/stories/etc sabka quota poora ho gaya. Ab what next, take a pause from reading and tell me what comes next to your mind ki ab kya karne ka mann ho raha hai.

Aap logon ka mann jo bhi kare, par mera mann toh sirf yehi karta hai ki ye pal yahin tham jaaye aur main yahin basss jaaun. Aur aisa ek baar nahi, kayi kayi baar ho chuka hai aur hota rehta hai hamesha. So at these moments, I always have this strong urge to somehow make this happen, kuch jugaad kar ke aisa setup ho ki apna ek comfort zone waala setup bana loon yahan, with my basic necessities sorted (and trust me my basics are actually very very basic). Kaafi baar toh yeh khayal bhi aata hai ki, apni Baleno mein hi saara jugaad set ho sakta hai mera toh, basss peeche ki seats flat karni hai, aur sab set ho jaaega usme… waise bhi zyaada logon ko leke travel karta nahi main toh kaam hai nahi backseat ka… haan aage waali ek passenger seat khaali hai agar tum kabhi chalna chaaho toh, kisi road trip pe… of course, at your own risk… haan, sorry thoda bhatak gaya, so getting back to where I was… haan, aise khayal toh hamesha aate hain… but but BUT… then life ki reality check aati hai… ye kaam, paisa, ghar, Maa Baap, so called responsibilities, etc etc etc… although main zyaada kuch karta nahi inme se, but fir bhi hai toh hai hi na yaar… ab kya karein, par kuch toh karna hai… aur basss, ye chaahat mein n life ke reality check mein hi train of thoughts ghoomti rehti hain… and its an endless loop

Now back to the secluded place… ab imagine this, you find some sign boards leading to a place within like 200 mts from where you’re standing and us direction mein kuch toh lights and chhota sa structure and zyaada nahi par 5-7 log dikh rahe hain… and as you get closer n closer, you start getting a better view of the place… I don’t have a pic, but agar example dena ho, toh I’ll say 2 options hain… 1. woh movie yaad hai, Kapoor & Sons… us movie ka farmhouse, waisa sa… ya fir 2. woh series dekhi hai, TVF’s Tripling, Season-1 mein unke Parents ka Ghar, Amma’s Kitchen… yesss, something very similar to these two is what you find there

aur aap andar aa gaye, aapko kuch log dikhe, sab apna apna random kuch kuch karte hue dikhe… khelte, book padhte, baatein karte, chhup chaap baithe, khaana khaate, yoga/exercise/meditate karte, etc etc etc… matlab kuch bhi random chal raha hai yahan… aapne apni nazrein ghumaayi, chaaron taraf dekha, kuch toh ajeeb laga… koi waiter/caretaker/owner/manager/etc type ka insaan nahi dikha aapko… koi reception nahi, billing counter nahi… kuch nahi… bada ajeeb siyappa hai yaar ye… he he he… maza aaya, kaisa laga experience… ab aapke paas aati hain Savi Aunty ya unka सपूत, haan सपूत toh main hoon hi… usme koi doubt thodi na hai… aur aate hi aapse baatein karne lagte hain… kya haal chal, kaise ho and all… and you’re like ki abe yeh jagah hai kya, ho kya raha hai yahan… but ab tak aap thode comfortable se ho gaye ho and you already started talking, bada maza aaya baat kar ke… and then you put forward your query ki ye hai kya, jagah kya hai, system kya hai yahan ka and all… and 99% aapke har probable sawaal ka jawaab is Maa-Bete ne pehle se soch rakha hoga… par haan, agar woh 1% waala aapka sawaal hoga na, toh kassam se fir toh bada hi maza aaega aapke saath… khoob jamegi aapki hamare saath…

So now the details about this place… and this happens either like Chai Pe Charcha or Conversation with Coffee (haan, Coffee deserves an angrezi word yaar, charcha doesn’t suit na) or with other beverage of your choice from the options offered to you… so you start taking a tour of the place… and now the mystery unfolds…

This is a place, which you can consider yours and be as comfortable as you ever can be. Upto you, you call it a Cafe/Homestay/Farm/Hotel/Resort whatsoever you feel like. We call it “SA-WE”. Now, giving point-wise highlights of the place, my favourite way of explaining anything.

Before proceeding further, giving out the important disclaimer here itself. We welcome anyone and everyone here, all are free to come in. But, you stay here or not is completely, solely dependent on our (Maa-Beta) discretion. and a No will clearly mean no, we might not even feel the need to give you a reason good enough for you to understand. This might’ve sounded too harsh, but yaar simple sa logic hai, agar tum pasand nahi aaye (pasand ki paribhaasha bahut alag hai hamari aur basss hai, kuch nahi kar sakte uska) toh nahi aaye… uske aage peeche kuch nahi, sorry but hum aur aap ek doosre ke liye misfit hain and aapka ya hamara bad experience ho, so better hai ki aap cut lijiye yahan se… Gut feel, inner instinct naam ki cheez hoti hai aur hum isme bahut zyaada strongly believe karte hain… don’t get us wrong here, we’re not judging you as a person, all we mean to say here is ki aap aur hum alag frequency ke hain, toh this is better for all of us that we stay apart.

The Dictionary meaning says “its a design or a pattern that can be followed”. Absolutely that’s what I take it as and have been relying on this since ages now! I mean in shuddh hindi, as I always keep saying to myself and my close ones, its like “Yaar picture nahi ban rahi”. All I mean is that am not able to visualize myself doing something or being somewhere or with someone. It might sound weird, but isn’t that how I am! If you’ve read previous blogs, or if you’ve known me for a while then you know this for a fact and if not then welcome and have this reality check my friend.

More often than not, I would say this is that “one thing” that I base my decision on for doing anything and everything, or for that matter even going ahead with the thought process of something at the first place. It’s the combination of my inner instinct, the gut feeling which always gives out a calling and it’s completely up to us whether we listen to it and follow it or just ignore it completely. Having said this, trust me it’s a beautiful experience, and if I could explain how it works for me I just get to live that moment (not exactly, but yes very close to reality) before even being there in that moment. This gives an immense pleasure and a sense of deja vu when I am in that moment for real.

Trust me, this is not as easy as it sounds and very few close ones (yes you, the close one you know it right!) with whom I’ve had this discussion about the picture know it very well. The same logic is not applicable every time and in every situation or with every person. It varies person to person situation to situation and also on n number of other factors. But one thing is sure, that’s unless and until this picture, this blueprint is made and approved by myself, I’ll dare not take any step further. Also, if the step is once taken, then I’ll not take it back come what may, that’s also for sure. Its like, it gives a lot of clarity and helps to take the call whether or not. There have been times, where I’ve somehow convinced myself to move ahead without the blueprints and I tell you they’ve not turned out to be great experiences, but that’s okay as I always say and believe “it was never promised to be a rosy picture and a smooth walk”.

Read it somewhere some day, “if you think you can then you definitely can” and “if you can see yourself there, you’re already half way there”. Today, writing this makes me understand, why they say whatever we read consciously somehow makes way to our personality our nature our thought process everything. Basically its gets into our system without we even realizing it how and when.

Septrember 2015

Having figured out what to do next in life, in terms of work, career whatever you name it. Basically, having taken a call to join and be a part of a startup, I felt the urge to pamper myself with another solo trip and this time it has to be Himachal and no where else. Basic research and all made me choose McLeod Ganj as the place to go. 12-14 hours bus journey, through the plains the hills, from 4 lane wide roads to the roads wide enough for a bus and a car just to pass by without brushing their bodies with each other. Here I was, at Mc Leod Ganj, early morning just with me and my bag and nothing else, no itinerary no planned date to leave or return, no booked place to stay. All I had with me was the peace, the sukoon as I prefer calling it as it feels much more relatable to me and a big smile which just came in automatically after getting down from the Bus and getting a glimpse of the greenery all around with Mountains high above.

Walked down for a while, looking around and just kept walking as if I know this place in and out or maybe am heading to some place which is waiting to welcome me. Then reality struck and I questioned myself, “oh hello, figure out a place first”. Me being me, looked out for options, without going into much details, I got a Hostel run by some Buddhist Monks group and managed to get a room for Rs 300/- and the best part was it had an open terrace and I could see the snow covered peaks of the Kangra valley. This one view is what made me zero in on the place, the bed the room hardly mattered to me any more. Spent the day walking around the place, observing the people the place the cafe’s which were in abundance. Tourists and Travelers could so easily be identified now, don’t kow how but yes I was able to figure it out.

I still remember that experience, that Cafe, that sunset with a mug of coffee and some angrezi music in the background. So, it was evening and I was like ki Sunset to dekhna hai, par have to figure out a palce jahan se perfect view mile. Ground floor waale saare Cafe’s se kuch nahi dikhne waale, edge pe baithne ki koi jagah mili nahi. Finally, I found this place which had an open terrace and there I was. On the Terrace, with the only person having his own company for himself, there were a few weird glances but by now I had got over this, not used to but just got over and it hardly mattered any more. I explained the guy to make a nice Coffee, hand made and not a machine one. Sitting on the front end of the terrace, having a clear view of the setting sun behind the valley, with coffee in my hand. It was a feeling beyond words and like a moment to be seized and just get freeze then and there. I had no clue of time, when did the Sun set completely and the daylight turned dusk, my coffee had got over and I was still there not willing to let go off that place that view. The entire experience is so vivid, so clear in the memory that no pics are needed for this to be relived at any point in my life.

In search of a place to have an economical meal for Dinner, I happened to find out the best place for me in Mc Leod Ganj. It was a Punjabi Dhaba, just stairs is what you can see on the main road. I just went up considering they must be offering a filling meal and what I saw just made me forget the meal and hunger and everything. Their sitting area was a big terrace, open air with cool breeze and the breathtaking sight of the snow covered peaks glowing as white crystals under the moonlight and changing colors as time passed by. That was a sight which literally gave me goosebumps, first time I was witnessing the beauty of the Mountains at night. Spent a good 2 hours there, before they started to close for the day.

A friend in travelling in Himachal that time, we spoke and he planned to come down and we planned for the Trek to Triund. He’s been doing these solo trips for quite some time now and was kind of pro. Both of us had a zero budget for the trip, so it didn’t take much effort to convince the Hostel person to allow his stay without an extra cost. They also agreed to keep our bags for a day, with no extra cost as we would be returning next day from our Trek.

I was so not prepared for a proper Trek, that too the first one of my life. The basic thing I was lacking were a pair of shoes, the only footwear I carried with me were Floaters/Sandals as I had never planned for the Trek thing. Giving this a thought, I finally convinced myself saying “abe koi na, Joote nahi hain na, confidence hai na ki kar lega manage… bass fir, nikal le…” and I started on the Trek. This internal confidence and belief in my own self that “don’t worry, will manage” which I keep telling myself every now and then, has made me do wonders and surprise myself at times with what I managed to do.

According to my friend’s research and knowledge of Mountains, this was a fairly moderate trek and a perfect one for the first timer. Its approximately 5-6 hours trek to the top, at a comfortable pace and the terrain is fairly easy to walk. Post our breakfast, we embarked on our journey on the Mountain. After almost an hour of walk, I just stopped to look around and get a sense of how we are progressing. It looked like, we’ve come quite a bit and gained altitude coz the base McLeod Ganj was now looking at quite far off a distance and that’s when it made me feel that while walking we didn’t realize how far we’ve come or what we’ve left behind or what we’ve gained. But the moment we paused and looked back, we got a complete idea and big smile from within. Isn’t this exactly what happens in life too!

At the age of 60 or maybe more, this Man was walking uphill with a Bag full of ration which weighed nothing less than 15 kgs! This was his life routine, twice a month he does this, goes down to get the basic essentials and carries it back. He lives uphill with Family, has cattle and land there which provide him livelihood. A short conversation with him made both of us go into introspection for a while and question ourselves how do we call our lives as difficult and our problems as big enough to be out of this world and deserves all the attention and sympathy and what not. What about these people, God forbid if something happens, his Family would not even come to know for days! and even if they come to know, there are minimal chances of knowing his whereabouts. and we having all the amenities and luxuries and loved ones around us, just a click away, feel our lives are difficult!

Drinking water from the stream flowing from top felt so soothing, the water in itself was kind of heavy on stomach. My Friend shared his knowledge, the minerals in water here are in pure form and they have a good, positive impact on the body and soul, thus I might be feeling heavy. We kept moving, through the trails which now seemed to be a normal walk for me more than a Trek, like I was now kind of used to this.

The first glance of the Triund Trek top point was something which gave me an instant high and I was just mesmerized, happy, engrossed in nature’s beauty which was in abundance there and what not, the feeling is just not worth a description in words. Below pics might do some justice to the feeling and you get an idea of what am trying to express here!

We reached there, dropped our bags, and just looked around and moved in our own directions. No words spoken, no glances exchanged, nothing. We both were in our own worlds and both of us just let the other person be. It was a surreal feeling for me, and I just couldn’t grasp the feeling of being there at the top in the lap of Mother Nature. It took quite some time for me to digest the fact, and get back to normalcy. My friend understood completely what I was feeling and we just didn’t feel the need to exchange any words to break the silence. I precisely remember (yes, precisely even after 3 years and 9 moths) what we both spoke first thing after having our me time there. We were like “Bhai yahan bheed bahut hai, itni public nahi chahiye”, well there were like 10-15 people at max but for us they were just too much. We contemplated walking down, coz we were very sure that we won’t be staying here if all the people are here, that completely defies the purpose. That’s when, the Universe the Energy played its role and we happened to notice “Snowline Cafe-300 mts” mentioned on one of the rocks, further inquiring about it, led us to know, there’s this Cafe and that guy has Tents also for night stay. That’s it, no further communication/discussion over this was needed and without speaking a word both of us headed up.

This last stretch of 300 mts, made me realize how perspective matters. On a plain this distance seemed nothing, like a 2-3 min walk. But, this is Mountain my friend, and it took us a good one hour to reach the place. The view the feel the moment then and there is the closest to the definition of this so called holy place called “Heaven” till date in my Life!

Maggi tastes different in Mountains, is what I learnt that day! It was almost sunset by now, and we’ve had a long day. The Tent sheltered us from the cool wind and chill temperature. Stars studded sky was such a luxury in itself, felt like I’ve seen stars after ages and that too there were so many. The silence was such that, even the sound of cool wind felt too loud and clear for our ears. Had a peaceful and a relaxing sleep, the body had taken its toll and needed rest badly. This rest just took over me, and I couldn’t just push myself out of the Blanket till late in the morning. Sunrise was another surreal experience, as told by my Friend coz I missed it by a few hours.

This Trek gave a lot if insights and helped me imbibe quite a few things and also gained a lot of perspectives towards things, people, life in general. The most prominent one being, For me its always always about the Journey, the Journey is important and not the Destination. I intend to enjoy the process, the journey towards the end result towards the goal. Keep moving is the mantra, just keep moving and keep doing, things will happen they are bound to happen. Been there done that, experienced this so many times in life that I have kind of made it a golden rule of life. Its just simply like riding a Bicycle, keep pedaling, keep moving, slow or fast doesn’t matter what matters is you didn’t stop!

Before I start writing my experience and the connect with the Mountains, I felt this urge to share something which is just so true and absolutely perfectly written and spoken by none other than the Man himself, the legendary Gulzar Sahab. Here’s the link for the YouTube video- https://youtu.be/khqz6bLRmWA, 4mins 20 secs of mesmerizing talk, expressing the Mountain’s talk with a Man!

The Mountains do have a calling, and it just can never be expressed in words or photos or through any other medium. The only and only option to realize it, understand it is to be there and experience it all by one self. Am yet to meet a person who’s been to Mountains even once, and not has the urge to go again or has not experienced the difference in being there. The energy, the vibes, the positivity which you feel is at another level altogether. The People, the Food, the Place everything has its own charm and makes me feel so alive, makes me realize there’s so much to life rather than living our mundane lives in the city with a fixed schedules and timelines and work home work with a little bit of pleasure here and there.

Mother Nature still has its beauty preserved up there and you can feel it all around you. Am a completely different person after having experienced this for quite a few times, and that too in different sort of trips, solo/with friends, self drive/public transport/walk/trek, zero budget/economical/luxury budget/, and all have got added to the system within me and have their own inputs and value addition in me being a person I am today! although I have no clue what I am.

Things for me work on an auto pilot mode up there. For me, I love driving on the curves and bends and blind turns and not so wide roads in not a driveable conditions. The thing is, for me I’ve figured out what works, and its this- There’s only one golden rule of driving not only in mountains but in our concrete jungles too. “Just be in your lane”, no matter what just stick to it, unless and until you feel the need to overtake (which for me is quite rare).

One can never be lost in the Mountains, simply because there are no wrong turns. All you need to do is keep moving and keep exploring, and rest everything will be taken care of!

First post has to be about something first in life! and here it is, my first ever Solo Trip.

July, 2015

I vividly remember that moment when the idea just came in and took the call and just decided to travel solo. Late past midnight, sitting on the Balcony cum Terrace of our Sarita Vihar Home. I was having Hookah and staring at the stars, in my own world of thoughts. This was the phase where I was not working, and just not doing anything for past 3-4 weeks. I’ve had many such phases in life, and don’t have any logical explanation as to why am I doing this. It happens and just happens, sometimes its for a day and might last for weeks at stretch.

Questioning myself, as to when am free and have time as well, whats stopping me from travelling and exploring some new place and having a new life experience altogether. So now, the next task was to decide the place, an after an hour of brainstorming “Lansdowne” was the place I chose to go for. Both my friends who stayed with me, were surprised with my plan but not shocked as they very well knew me and my ability to take such calls. Boarded a train (Garhwal Express, Train No 14044) at 7:30 in the morning from Delhi Railway Station, and embarked on the journey. I had no clue what’s in store for me on this trip and what will this lead to, but today am just so happy about taking this call and going for this trip.

Kotdwara is the base station for Lansdowne, as the trains do not go uphill and had to take a shared cab for Lansdowne. Close to 2 hrs drive in the cab was not so comfortable one, but when among the hills and mountains I never look for comfort. The scenic beauty, curves and turns on road were mesmerizing. I was lost all through this drive and didn’t even realize when I reached and the drive was over. The first look and feel of the place was no different than any hill station in our country. Bus Stand was at the main chowk, and its the busiest place around.

The first thing which hit after getting down was, I told myself “Akash, for the first time you’re actually having the feel of a traveler and not a tourist. No hotels, no bookings, no itinerary, no plans nothing you have and you’re here at this place. Brilliant yaar! Get going and I had a big wide smile on my face”. Without wasting any time, I inquired from locals (one thing which am a pro at) about the places worth visiting. I started walking and observing, enjoying the natural beauty of the place. It was quite long a walk, but every step absolutely worth it. Sunset point, a common destination at all hill stations was the place I headed for the day. Walking through ups and downs of the concrete road, smiling at random people and getting a warm smile in return was something quite unusual for me (although now, after 4 years, its become a routine thing which I do always). Crowd being there at the point, I just looked around and found my place for solitude and to stay away from the noise and the selfies and the irrelevant talks. Sitting there, doing nothing, just staring at the setting sun did some magic and gave so much of peace within. I didn’t even realize when and how I had a big smile and it just felt so happy, calm being there. No thoughts, no worries, no concern about the job about future or any such thing. It was just that moment and I was living that moment exactly the way I wanted it to.

Walking back to the chowk wasn’t an easy task, it seemed to take much longer while return. Now, the reality struck as in what to do, where to sleep and spend the night. Looked for a Dharamshala, but couldn’t convince myself to stay there and managed to get a Hotel within my budget. Morning was a bit late, and being the monsoon season it just felt as if the shower is not gonna stop any time soon. Planned to return today and take the same train which leaves at 15:30 from Kotdwar. I had half a day to explore more, and I did the best I could in that time. Garhwal Rifles are one of the most respected, Infantry Regiments of our Indian Army. I walked down to the War Museum, only to know that its either shut for the day or will open some time later. Missing this, proved to be a blessing in disguise and what I witnessed that day was sheer bliss, a breathtaking sight which I had never seen before. The Jawans were rehearsing for 15th August Parade, and just standing there seeing it in front of my eyes gave goosebumps and I literally froze for the moment. The coordination, timing, beats, walks, everything so perfectly organised, it was such a treat to the eyes. Standing at quite a distance, I could clearly hear the thump of their feet touching the ground and the sound so soothing. Words are just not enough to describe the feeling I had that day.

I called it a day soon after and headed back to Delhi, but this was a journey which paved way for many more journeys. It gave me my first kick, to be among the mountains and how it feels just to be there. Travelling is something which is now in the blood and its gonna be there!

I have been having this urge to write since a long time, but just that never started it ever. My friends have been pushing me since long, but this one friend whom I was speaking to and it just clicked to me and I got going immediately, registered myself, bought an ad free blog page and made my profile, all within a span of an hour. Well that was 2 days back, and now finally am here to write, to express, to share.
Few things, I wish you to know before you proceed further and go through this.

Everything here are my own personal words/thoughts/perspectives/experiences. You might have a difference of opinion, and I do respect that. But, am really not up for a debate/argument over any of my blogs. Any healthy discussion, yes am always open for.

All people/places/instances/experiences, anything mentioned on this blog are not fictional, they are cent percent true and I’ve lived each one of them in the past. This is just a medium through which am willing to share them with you all.

I’ll refrain from writing names of people, due to certain reasons best known to me.

Am not limiting myself to any specific subject to write on, I guess that wont do justice. Thus, my blogs might not be in sync with the previous ones and maybe linked to different walks of life, some of which you might not even be interested in. You have a choice to walk away and stop reading or not even start reading at the first place.

I’ll try and stick to English only, but while writing I might get into the flow and write down few things in Hinglish, hope you’ll be able to bear with me. “woh kya hai na, kuch cheezein shuddh hindi mein hi achchi lagti hai”
So, the choice is yours! Before going further and start reading, if at all you start, all I would say is take this with open mind and do not judge the people mentioned. Keep all your judgments for me, please spare all others as they aren’t even aware they’ve been mentioned here!
Thank you for bearing me till now!
