I Want To Break Free
I want to break free from the daily routine; from the mundane life; from staying indoors & staying safe; from Covid.
Would love to flap my wings; travel far & wide; take risks; lose myself in the wilderness; fear nothing; dream often; create some precious memories & leave my footprints π£ in the sands of time.

Save Water
While you & I may complain at the slightest discomfort, these beautiful ladies in the heart of Thar desert, India make several trips to the beri/traditional well during the day & every single day.
They walk on hot sand while the scorching sun shines brightly above their heads. They fill their pitchers with water at the beri & carry the same to their houses. Travelling in groups while chatting helps them overcome these hurdles. In fact the responsibility of fetching water lies with the women of the household.
Traditionally the earthern pitchers were made by potters of the respective village, but these days stainless pitchers are used because of its durability.
Even to cook a simple meal takes loads of effort; fetching water is a task in itself & then cooking on chulha/traditional stove is not an easy job. No wonder even their dance depicts these scenes since they play such a vital role in their lives.
The least that we can do is to take a pledge to save water this summer & thereafter.
This place in Jaisalmer receives the lowest rainfall in Rajasthan. Life is tough, but so are they and nothing can shake their smiling hearts. So, did you smile today?
