An Escape into Nature for Healing..




Every time it falls, is to rise. Every time it gets dark, is to shine bright. Every time it ends, is for it to bloom again after its demise.
With all shades of nature, we get to see so much that is so relatable to our everyday lives. The more close attention we pay to the various activities of nature, we only get to learn the infinite possibilities to live life with all its charm, to face the ups and downs with all our strength and to have a positive outlook, no matter what. That’s the charm of nature.
The father of modern medicine “Hippocrates” said it is not the physician that cures but the nature. Nature has got within itself countless lives beginning and ending each moment and at that very moment are rising endless possibilities to live a life! Just as no matter how much love and care we hold, our busy lives do make us away from our mother, but always in times of need, it is a mother who comes to our mind at first, as just being close to her is the solution of most of our problems. Similar is our connection with nature, no matter how much destruction, harm or abuse, we cause to it, but every time we are in distress, hopelessness or stress; all we seek for is mother nature.
Nature possesses some of the most miraculous powers and one such power is the power to heal, a healing which is multi-dimensional as not only it gives you relief from physical symptoms but also the spiritual and most importantly, the mental symptoms. Imagine the stress from a long, tiring week of work and opening your eyes into a sunrise point where you are in the bounty of nature and surrounded by the scenic view, with all elements of nature smoothening all your senses…the fresh air you breathe in, the natural light you envisage, the soothing breeze, the chirping you here…all of this can never be experienced anywhere except in the lap of nature..
More often than not, we develop a deep emotional connect with nature, with every emotion of ours, there is an element of nature that we closely relate to. And one of our strongest emotions arises when we experience a loss of someone or something that held a very important place in our lives. The way in which we react to it might be different and so the time each person takes to overcome a grief which could be a few days, months or even years.
Science backs the fact that when in the company of nature, you are sure to heal from grief in the most convenient manner, as nature never judges or discriminates you, it only heals you by teaching you the principle it is based on: no matter what, life goes on. The day we realize this, half the battle is already won. It teaches us what is there today shall not necessarily be seen tomorrow, but the sunshine of tomorrow will rise to endless possibilities of hopes, desires and life!
With nature, you not only learn to survive, but also to live life without escaping from any aspect of it and facing it with grit and determination. Be it, fearing partition from the one or thing you love or the end of life these might be emotionally draining, but are an inevitable part of life for it to go on.. be it the falling of leaves, setting of the sun, or senescence as phase of life; nature teaches us in all its way that life is never meant to be stopped, it is meant to be lived to its fullest and enjoyed in every bit of it.
Each one of us is surrounded with several factors that cause stress and distress in our everyday lives. It’s time now to take a pause, breathe and smile. The life will go on, but what is important is that we live each moment of it. So break the shackles of work and stress and let go all the distress, its time for you to do something for yourself, to embrace your soul, time to take a walk to nature so that a part of you can heal.
If you are looking for an escape into the nature, explore the bounty nature near the greeneries of Pune, in Morachi Chincholi.

A VISIT TO MORACHI CHINCHOLI , A PARADISE NEAR PUNE.


Nature has been for me, for as long as I remember a source of solace, inspiration, adventure, and delight; a home, a teacher, a companion.
On a Saturday morning, I decided to go for a holiday to a place surrounded by nature, as I wanted to escape the busy city life and go to a place where I could find peace in nature and enjoy the natural surroundings. I searched for Holiday places around Pune on the internet and found a true nature’s gem hidden in Maharashtra only 50 kilometres away from Pune. This place was Jay Malhar Krushi Paryatan also widely known as Morachi Chincholi. Morachi Chincholi by the name itself means a village of tamarind trees and a town of dancing peacocks. I was immediately excited to travel to this place as I always had a huge attraction towards our national bird Peacock. I started on my travel to Morachi Chincholi, the way to the place was exceptionally beautiful. It was completely outside the commotion of the city but yet situated so close to it. It took me only 2 hours to reach Morachi Chincholi from Pune by road. I was amazed to see the location; it was a very beautiful place which looked like a typical rural village  had a grand entrance. When I entered the place the first thing I heard was the beautiful cry of a peacock calling his mate. I was very happy to be at such a wonderful place. The staff at the place was very helpful and friendly; they greeted me and offered me lunch which included Pure Veg Masawadi, Pital, Chuliwarchi bhakri, Mirchicha Thecha, Karalachi Chatani, Kadhi, Suki Bhaji, Chapati, Waran Bhat, Koshimbir, Lonche, Bobby and Buttermilk which was very tasty. The place was surrounded by greenery and there were tamarind trees everywhere. Also, they had large fields all over and took me on a bullock cart ride followed by tractor ride which was a first time experience for me, as I was born and raised in a city. There was a wonderful feeling while riding the bullock cart and the tractor. There were a couple of kids around playing rural games such as marbles, Gili danda who invited me to join them, this was a wonderful feeling as I got a chance to relive my childhood. After I joined them to visit the children’s playground where I watched them play on the slides and swings with the enthusiasm which made me miss my childhood days. I took a swim in the swimming pool later and got refreshed by having tea and pakodas. The weather was cloudy and it started to rain. I had my fingers crossed so I could spot at least one peacock spreading his wings and dancing with his might. Luckily I spotted three of them who got into the complete mood of dancing in the rain. It was the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen to spot this majestic bird dance with all their might. It felt like all my goals at Morachi Chincholi to see peacock dances were accomplished.
I planned to stay over the night as it was raining and I didn’t feel like leaving the place.
I took a cottage which was fairly priced and had a comfortable bed and many other facilities inside it. The staff invited me for having dinner which was extremely tasty and had a sweet dish  as aam ras prepared with fresh mangoes from the area. Later, I joined a group of people who had organized a hurda party. Hurda Parties are parties held with bonfires where one can savour the flavours of roasted Jawar in their full sweetness. This was the first hurda party of my entire life and was a very joyful experience. I spent most of the night gazing stars as the sky cleared up. I had a sound sleep in my cottage that night.
The cries of the birds woke me up early in the morning; I came out of my cottage and was amazed seeing the beautiful peacocks and peahens all over the place. I spent most of my morning admiring their beauty. Later, I went and had my breakfast and went to visit the fort museum which was another wonderful experience as the fort museum was full of interesting old artefacts. They also had astronaut’s world which was very exciting and informative for me. There was a magic show followed by a puppet show which filled me with joy. I purchased peacock feathers and tamarind sweets from the market inside as a souvenir of the place.
I left the place in the evening with a heavy heart as it was hard to leave such a beautiful place. Morachi Chincholi was one of the best places I have ever visited so far, it was better than I could imagine it. I had a wonderful time at Morachi Chincholi and made many unforgettable memories. I would recommend  Morachi Chincholi to all the people who are planning to go for a picnic with family or friends and to all the people who love bird watching. Morachi chincholi is a unique place which offers an extraordinarily wonderful experience with the profound beauty of nature and leaves the visitors speechless.
