I boarded Howrah Yeshwanthpur Express on 18th this month and reached Bangalore on 20th Morning.

Just one day before boarding my train, I went a see a neighbor's independent house, away from our residential complex.
Over ten years back I had bought a piece of farmland in Anekal wanting to build a farm house and later turn it to an old age home. A similar need to feel closer to nature and adopt a much simpler lifestyle lead to search plots even in Kolkata where I am planning to move back, in January 2017.
During a recent visit to our farmland in Anekal, as we walked to our plot, our driver discovered this close to where we had parked the car, which we had missed.
While we shot this part of the farm layout
The Happy Home Resort in its new avatar, just a couple of kilometers away from Pearl Valley, Anekal with its full operational multi cuisine, tent option, interesting activities can also give some quite moments.
These random pictures shot over a few days across two cities kind of hints at how the atmosphere around you regardless of where you belong - a rural or semi urban zone with space and greenery, a touch of village and simple life style can be a humbling experience and at the same time re charge your batteries.
As you hear about your maid visiting her native village or your security guard meeting his parents after a few years in his hometown, the gap seems broader. Nothing seems to have changed in 70 years.
It is not a question about seeking employment or a better life or opportunities away from home, it is about either being part of creation instead being part of saturation.
For those of you who are like me - can our quest for that simple village life, equipped with modern gadgets, if not the amenities be actually be fulfilled by a real village visit? Rope me in, if you are planning one or share your experiences.
It is our regular visits that have the potential to trigger something meaningful in villages - Someday!

Travel is not always
about destination visit and just exploring places.
