Went to a health farm as a part of my end-year holidays... with my sis! 5 days of cleansing - mind, body and in not-so-small a manner - SOUL too!!
Had gone admittedly with a closed mind - full of negatives and willing to pull out at the slightest sign of being 'boring' or 'tough'!! Thankfully - It was far from either...
Spending time on just myself had become a rarity as i realised there. WHen was the last time i looked at just myself and thought abt what i'm eating, drinking or doing??
Took me almost 2 days of that regimen to get used to the fact that i did not HAVE to have my laptop with me... that it was fine for the phone to be off all day long... that no one was dying to know where i was... and the biggest one - That its OK for me not to CARE about anything else but chilling out and shutting off the world!!! ;-)
Made new friends there... reminded me of the times when we didnt have so much technology at hand so easily which made us take friendships too casually
At the camp, we were bonding because of what we were sharing - THEN AND THERE! Encouraging each other through the tough sessions, making fun of the teachers, Jokes galore at every meal time... their promotion of silence during lunch / dinner - went for a toss with the hi-decibel Gupta sisters there!
VEry very nice experience... made me respect myself a little bit more... i CAN do things which sound really gross! and they turn out to be pretty normal too...
Highly recommended... go challenge yourself into unknown situations... u'll come out of it cleansed in some manner at least - if not mind and body - then at least of some prejudices!!!
