“Jab maine duniya se door ek nadi ke kinare khud se milne ka faisla kiya…”
🌿Khud ke saath safar shuru karna
Hi, I’m Ritika, and this isn’t just a travel story.
Yeh ek mere andar ke safar ki kahaani hai.
Kuch safar planning se nahi hote —
woh dil ke thak jaane par, raat ke aansuon se, ya kisi connection ke tootne ke baad shuru hote hain.
Mera Rishikesh ka safar bhi aisa hi tha.
Main kisi aur se nahi, khud se milne gayi thi.
Aur jo mila… woh main thi — thodi bikhri, thodi samjhdar, lekin poori sachchi.
🏞️Why Rishikesh – uske alava apko jo jagah pata ho jaha ,ek shant ilaaka, ek bechain dil ko rahat milti ho
Rishikesh bulaata nahi, khud hi kheench leta hai.
Us waqt main loud sheher aur toxic cycles se thak chuki thi.
Mujhe ek jagah chahiye thi jahan:
- Phone ka signal kam ho
- Dil ka connection zyada ho
- Ganga ki lehron mein sirf awaaz nahi, shanti ho
- Log kam ho, khud se baatein zyada
🧘🏻♀️ Moments That Healed Me
🌊 Ganga Aarti at Triveni Ghat
Jab main ne apni aankhon ke saamne 100 diyas ko behte dekha —
mera bhi ek dard ka diya uss paani mein chala gaya.
“Ganga ji ne jaise sirf meri baat suni — bina kuch kahe, bina kuch pooche.”
🧘 Morning Yoga by the River
Subah 6 baje, thand aur sannata — par ek sukoon.
Pehli baar, meri saans meri thi.
Koi expectation nahi, koi prove karna nahi.
🛶 Neelkanth Temple Trek
Thoda tough tha, but har kadam pe lagta tha…
“Main toot nahi rahi, main transform ho rahi hoon.”
✍️ Journaling by the Ghat
Har shaam main ek diary le jaati thi aur likhti thi:
- Aaj kis cheez ne mujhe smile diya
- Kya tha jisse main abhi bhi chipki hoon
- Kaunsi baat mujhe chhodni hai
- Aur kaun si Ritika mujhe banana hai
Us diary mein koi judgement nahi tha — sirf main thi.
🌸 Self-Love Realizations from Rishikesh
- Main complete hoon — bina kisi ke pyaar ke bhi.
- Mujhe chaha ja sakta hai, par sabse pehle mujhe khud se pyar karna aana chahiye.
- Khud se door rehkar, khud ko paana possible nahi.
- Nature sunta hai, aur kabhi interrupt nahi karta.
- Solo doesn’t mean lonely — it means sacred.
💌 To You, Dear Reader…
Agar kabhi life loud ho jaye,
aur dil sirf silence maange —
ek baar Rishikesh zaroor jaana.
Not for the ‘Instagrammable’ trip,
but for that moment jab aap Ganga ke kinare baith kar, khud se pooch sakein:
“Tu theek hai na?”
“Main hoon na, tere saath.”
🌿 Closing Thought
“Main kisi se bhag nahi rahi thi.
Main sirf apne andar wapas laut rahi thi.”
– Ritika, Rishikesh Diary
