This observation/analysis is something I made while on my recovery path and trying to understand the reason behind my constant digestion related issues and sudden increase in extreme frustration and aggravation and one thing that I realized is that accepting and coming to terms with the fact that you may have been impacted by this since childhood is a tough one to process. Before you make an assumption , by no means this is a "western influence" or a "youth" problem that became a trend in the recent. It is very well a proven fact that all of this could be a result of generational trauma. For further analysis and references kindly visit "www.psychologytoday.com" where I went through several articles regarding this. Also a kind reminder that critical thinking is important, no matter how assuring all those beliefs are . Feel free to express your views and thoughts regarding this: When a child observes their parents going over board to please others, they also

 PAZHANI After we were enjoying the cold weather and mountains of Kodaikanal we headed off to Pazhani. The bus ride from kodai to Pazhani is very blissful. We could see the fog and clouds slowly disappearing as we headed downwards from the hills. The driver for our bus was surprisingly patient and cautious with the roads as it were rocky and also slippery due to the water descending from the hills. The bus took a 10 minute break which was a small tea shop located at one of the roads curves with the backdrop of the shop being an amazing viewpoint of the hills covered in trees and villages and fields beneath those hills. captured by - @shwetarmanian After few hours of more bumpy rides we finally reached Pazhani. Even after visiting this place numerous times, it still feels special everytime. Right from being surrounded by lush greenery and hills to friendly people and vibrant streets , it just enhances our spiritual journey. After a little bit of rest at our hotel which was a modified

  KODAIKANAL In between this all round pilgrimage visit, we decided to visit someplace different. No matter how many hill stations you have been to, nature always has a way to fascinate. And that’s how kodaikanal came to our minds as it was nearer to Pazhani. We had to wait for nearly 8 and a half hours at the Madurai bus stop, which adds to one of the worst experiences we had. Staring at everyone leaving for their buses early and desperately looking at the bus stand entrance at midnight only to see nothing, by the time the bus finally came, add on top of that non-stop rains, I could merely remember anything and pretty sure was literally looking like a drug addict. Even though the bus probably traveled through some pretty steep roads, filled with rocks, I didn’t give a single damn about anything and dozed off the minute after the bus started travelling upwards. The only thing I remember waking me up was the cold winds passing through and me hitting into the window glass. Righ

Following my previous blog "MEGHALAYA : THE ABODE OF CLOUDS" dated August 12, here is a vlog where I have combined the moments that I could capture my best during the trip. Throughout editing this video, I hav somehow found a newfound respect for all the cinematographers and editors because oh my God this is more tedious than it looks. How they are able to curate such videos and documentariesand also making sure the video doesn't lose its essence and authenticity is beyond my understanding. Do watch this video and let me know your thoughts and suggestions. I will try my best to remove the watermark next time. Once again thank you for reading. youtube video link -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McgD30hpZzQ Youtube channel -  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIX5-uIUho2tzMSXnvrqzRg
