Throwback to Summer 2022 in India
When I see pictures of India, it's always the busiest places, or the most grand places, or the sacred places. But have you seen the most ordinary places?
Well, no because what's ordinary is subjective. India is so big that every single state has a different culture entirely — it's a brand new experience every time. It can be hard to capture the essence of the country, so the best I can do is show you what I see regularly. So let me show you what my ordinary looked like over summer, from the rooftop of my grandparents place, and from the local mall.
I love taking in the sun every day, since back home (in England) is gloomy 8 months of the year. My mum is always saying to "take in as much Vitamin D as possible" before we head back. From the roof, you can hear the traffic in the distance, and watch the stray dogs annoy the cows. And then watch the cows annoy the locals by blocking the road.
The clouds in the sky were the early monsoon clouds. To my family, they're a warning that the storms are arriving – honestly I just thought they were clouds.
I loved the trip, it was the reset I needed for the year that I had. Can't wait to go back in a year or two.
