Travel Therapy – Treat oneself the ‘Self-Inspired’ way.

Travel Therapy – Enough to raise those ‘arched – eyebrows’ with a questioning stare. Well, in the contemporary sense, travel could be as much a therapy as you could imagine others such as retail or aromatic therapies to be. In fact, travel therapy is fast catching up as a progressive way to address innate needs & fears of humans.

Travel could be for sheer adventure, or to holy places for a spiritual rejuvenation, or perhaps to destinations for enjoyment with near and dears. Reasons may be many, but it all boils down to the fact that we are trying to fulfill some need or fear within us.

Travel therapy is no doctor or expert prescribed; rather, it could be better reasoned as ‘self – inspired’. The intrinsic urge in oneself to cling on to some fragile hope during an emotional downturn, transition or sometimes a strong need for change, inspires us to explore alternate (at times weird) therapies to find beneficial solutions to them.

In the recent past, travel therapy has led to the proliferation of the tourism industry. Spiritual healing/ wellness tourism, alternate lifestyle/ yoga tourism, aero/ aqua/ land tourism, voluntary tourism – all stem from the very basic urge to treat and benefit oneself.

So what’s your pick this season – adventure, aqua or spiritual? Travel and treat yourself to a therapeutic experience and feel rejuvenated.

Malana is an ancient Indian village in the state of Himachal Pradesh. This solitary village in the Malana Nala, a side valley of the Parvati Valley to the north-east of Kullu Valley, is isolated from the rest of the world. The majestic peaks of Chandrakhani and Deotibba shadow the village. It is situated on a remote plateau by the side of the torrential Malana river, at a height of 3,029 metres (9,938 ft) above sea level. Unaffected by modern civilization, Malana has its own lifestyle and social structure. People are strict in following their customs. Malana has been the subject of various documentaries, including Malana: Globalization of a Himalayan Village and Malana, A Lost Identity.

Recycle! This is the new happening word, and it should be in its right. Given the amount of waste we generate every day, no soon we will be surrounded by garbage everywhere. Reuse and recycle is the keyword today. What is recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away. Instead of throwing them out, reuse yogurt cups, cereal boxes, milk jugs, water bottles (and more) to make easy, affordable decorations for your home. Recycling gives you a sense of satisfaction of saving money and getting creative. Here are a few day-to-day things which we tend to throw away which ca

Clip that Dungaree Back On!

Image
Dungarees initially started off as a men’s wear. Further when women made themselves equal against men, their fashion statement also got updates with women starting to wear dungarees. Till date, it has been a ‘must’ in every fashion -conscious woman’s wardrobe and is completely worth having. It goes on all kinds of body shapes like apple, pear, and hourglass and so on. All you must check on is the style. Some women look great with shorts styled dungaree, some with long ones and some with skirt styled dungarees.    One of the best combinations is to sport a white plane crop top and a typical light blue, ripped-jeans dungaree. Otherwise sport a shorts-styled black dungaree with a short and bright tube top that will only be visible from the sides. Dungarees are definitely back in fashion and if you haven’t bought one yet, go get it!
