Seychelles is definitely a paradise on Earth with pristine beaches and nature untouched. The government over here would not allow you to go beyond a certain number of restaurants cuz of the low population on the island. Also, the botanical gardens of Coco De Mer: sole species of sea coconut found in Seychelles is very nicely conserved and you’re not allowed to trade or market this wonderful fruit cuz of its extinction. What’s interesting is that Seychelles is a world heritage site and any kind of destruction, business or trade of the Nature results in jail.
I was stopped at the luggage screening where they suspected, I am taking a part of their coconut😂 Courtesy; my coconut bag which I bought from Mozambique: Africa !!!

Turning chapters of life and reflecting. Poland
Daylight musings…..
Why do you use social media? Is it a medium for you to reach out to people & convey your story. Or is it a medium for you to get validation? How much time do you waste scrolling through pretty pictures and getting depressed for not having a life like you see on the tabloid? I often ask myself, how important is it for me to click pictures of my travel & isn’t it more important to live the real life. Well the answer is yes, it’s extremely important to live each moment and the real essence of travel is to seize that moment and assimilate as much as you can, learn from it and grow from it. However, the one thing I do repent is, not being able to document my journey of dance in the past which is one of the most beautiful years I have lived. Well for me, the answer lies in the fact: how well am I reaching out to people and am I conveying my story well. It’s enough if I touched one person’s heart and inspired a few.
Armenia has been by far, my favorite trip and has inspired me to be a true version of myself.

Well a lot of people had an opinion on the picture I posted in a swimwear before where the top part of the swimwear had moved below, exposing more than half of my breast; just enough to hide my nipple. Well, that is normally what happens if you extend your arms up too high and also for a fact, that is what happens inside the water during swimming or due to waves. A woman has to check twice before coming out of the water if her bra is in the right place or if her bum is not popping out of her underwear. If the same picture had a man showing of his bare chest; well that’s more like a Man! But alas! A woman has no right over her own body? If she is wearing a bikini, she is probably asking for it. I don’t know when would people understand that if a woman is wearing revealing clothes, it has nothing to do with how people will see her; same like how a man would wear shorts, tight shirt or no shirt or lungis scratching away his crotch not caring for a reaction. But I know one thing for sure, that I respect myself and my body more than anyone else’s opinion on it. I wouldn’t let anyone else decide what’s right or wrong with what I do with it or what I do with my life! What is society anyway? A hypocritical theory to mold people in a preconceived notion. Sorry! It’s not for me.
Ps: if you would look closely, this nude dress is quite see through and yes, I am not wanting anyone to see my yellow bikini underneath. I am just looking forward to a great swim:p

I told myself, I want to live a fulfilling life and not bogged down by the norms set by the society. I don’t want to fall into the pattern designed by people and become a slave to the system. Yes, I want success and happiness but by leading a fulfilling life!
But. What is fulfilling? I read up the dictionary meaning which says: “making someone satisfied or happy through allowing their character or abilities to develop fully”
That’s it! That’s exactly I want from my life; to allow, help and push me to be able to discover & develop the character of my soul and to explore the full potential of my conscience & become the best version of myself😇

It’s a shame if you don’t taste wine, if you come to Armenia. Armenia is one of the oldest wine producing region in the world with a history so deep which goes beyond wars and Gods:) I went for a wine tasting tour at a winery in Areni area of the country. Well, in one of the caves in Areni; was discovered a 6100 years old winery and it is termed as the oldest winery found in the world by archeologists. Also making wine at home is a common method in Armenian culture and I am so fortunate to have tasted some home wine, not only at cozy restaurants but also on the roads:p

Peace out✌🏻
What are you worried about? What are you constantly waiting for, wanting more, expecting more. Wanting that extra bucks in your pocket, that extra ego boost, that extra attention from people, that extra recognition and praise and love, that x outfit, x car, x house, X job?? You would never stop wanting but do you ever pause to look around and appreciate and thank for what you already have and people don’t? Do you ever give instead of wanting that extra attention? Do you ever give to the society instead of wanting that extra? Do you care instead of the care you always want?
Your wants will never die but do you wanna die with always wanting something?
For me, happiness isn’t something which I derive out of other things or other people. The experiences in my life does give me momentarily pleasure and may be life long memories but in the end, it is the person I discover and I become through these experiences is what gives me happiness.
Happiness is in giving than expecting. Happiness is in accepting then blocking. Happiness is in letting go then holding it back. Happiness is in being than in wanting.

No I don’t pray to a specific God and my religion is Mother Nature😇
Before the arrival of Portuguese and thus conversion to Christianity, the indigenous people of Mozambique prayed to the Nature💛
They found a big tree and built a home around it and prayed to the tree during rains, famine and sickness. They had their own traditional way of worshipping to, what they called God!
I think this is beautiful. This is the core of our existence and it’s such a shame that we humans have reached a point of greed, where we are ready to exploit all the resources & tear apart our own planet earth.

Republic of Artsakh, traditionally known as Karabakh is a disputed land with a very intriguing history. With a separate border from adjoining countries, you need to get a visa to get into this land. Although, officially not recognized as an individual country, it is a part of Armenia but geographically sitting on the land of Azerbaijan, this country is still at an ongoing war to find its independence. However, the entire affairs are handled by the government of Armenia and you see both the flags of Artsakh and Armenia, waving freely on the streets of Karabakh.
This is Tatik & Papik: meaning GrandMa and GrandPa, representing the people of Karabakh standing strong together, shoulder to shoulder:) Just wow!
