Today since I woke up in morning, I felt like setting an intention for the day. And it came to me - to be kinder to myself today🌻 Not be harsh on myself. Allowing myself to feel the lows and the highs. Pat my back when I feel I did something I wanted to do. Forgive myself and give a second chance to things which didn't work out 🌻 In short, be there for myself :) . PS my first selfie on my account. There was a bit of resistance/self doubt to put it- face so close up? With all the things I am sharing, doesn't really go with it. But then I strongly felt like. . To trying new things today and further :) . #selfcare #practiceselflove #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #journey #solofemaletraveler

"Since how long are you coming here?" "Everyday since the time protest started." "Been how long?" "24 days, I think." "Hmm..." "The time the Jamia incident happened, we had marriage of my daughter's son. We were all ready to take baarat to Noida but then plan changed. I asked the groom and few elderly people to go. Also, informed them to distribute the food in colony. We stayed back to help children here at Jamia." "Oh..Okay.." "Since then whenever I go to Jamia, I carry sweets with me. I have worked there as one of the gardeners." "Arey waah!" "I need to get my eyes operated but I am getting it delayed. Otherwise I will have to sit at home and I don't want to. Because now is the time children need us, if not now then when?" "Have you come alone?" "Yeah." "Don't be afraid. We are here with you. No one can do anything." . #WomenOfShaheenBagh #AllForOneOneForAll #NoToFascism #ShaheenBagh #ShaheenBaghProtests #hope #littleconversations . (Hindi translation) . "आप कबसे आ रही है शाहीन बाघ?" 'रोज, जबसे प्रोटेस्ट शुरू हुआ है।" "कितने दिन हो गए?" "24 दिन, मेरे ख्याल से।" "अच्छा..." "मेरी बेटी की लड़के की शादी थी उस दिन जब जामिया के बच्चो को मारा। हम बारात लेकर नोएडा जाने वाले थे पर जैसे ही यह पता चला सब रुक गए, लड़के के साथ कुछ बुजुर्ग लोगो को भेजा बस। वहां जो खाना बना था उसको मोहल्ले में बंटवाया। और हम सब गए बच्चो की मदद करने।" "अच्छा।" "तबसे मैं जब भी जामिया जाती, मिठाई हमेशा साथ होती। सालो तक काम किया है मेने वहां के बगीचे में।" "अरे वाह।" "मेरी आँखों का ऑपेरशन बताया है पर मैं अभी करवा नही रही हूँ क्योंकि फिर घर पर बैठना पड़ेगा। और अभी बच्चो को हमारी जरूरत है, अभी नही तो कब? तुम अकेली आयी हो?" "हां।" "बिल्कुल डरना नही, हम है तुम्हारे साथ। कोई कुछ नही कर सकता यहां।"

Happy to host 3rd edition of 'Tana Bana- An Evening of Handwork' in Gurgaon this time after Mumbai and Indore. ✨ The idea of this workshop took birth during travel roughly a month back and happy to take it to places, people, connect, learn and share. ✨ For everyone wondering what is Tana Bana, it is a space that encourages anyone who enjoys creating art with hand, like an ART JAM. A space to jam with like minded people, have fun, find your tribe and let your creative soul nourish. ✨ Who is it for? It is for you, if you enjoy working with threads, colours, papers or any art with hands. You need NOT BE AN EXPERT in any art form, your interest to play with it and experiment is all that is needed. No one is a teacher here, but everyone a learner. There is NO AGE or GENDER BAR. ✨ Do we need to bring anything with us? You are requested to bring the material you want to work with. ✨ How much is the charge? This space is offered as a gift. Pay as you wish ❤️ . If interested please confirm your presence in advance. We have limited space. Looking forward to host you and create some magic together ✨ Full address will be shared to people who have confirmed. The lovely poster is hand made creation by dear friend Amrita Kanther :)

One of those 30 days spent in Manipur with these munchkins 🐣 While volunteering in this school, this is how I would start my mornings- stand at the door, see their teachers giving them instructions and they being lost in their own little world, and doing the thing they want to do 😄 #littlehearts #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #solotraveler #slowtravel #travellocal #solofemaletraveler #journey #manthan #northeast_india #manipur #manipurdiaries #tamenglong #volunteertravel #volunteering #travelnama

Dear Nancy, Life is a process, not an event. Experiences happen in the moment, but often we connect the dots in hindsight. The going might seem tougher and feel like killing you today and you see no way out of it. So for now, hang in there. Breathe. Pause. Feel it. Fully. Take things, one day at a time. Rest. Have food which comforts you. Call a friend who is willing to listen to you. Cry, if you feel like. Let it flow. Take care of yourself, that is non-negotiable. Hang in there. Like I say, in these days of dark clouds, be your own sunshine. It won't be easy, but if it's authentic to you, it's worth it. Love, Nancy . 📷 @priya_sreekumar . #remindertoself . #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #journey #travel #travelnama #notetoself #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram #writersofig #life #theshootingstar #manthan #experience #selfcare #mentalhealth #lettertoself

One of those days when I feel like taking my harmonica out and playing my favourite piece with my favourite people! 😄 ❤️ . On vocals, @mithrandir_wisefriend On shakers, @arjun.writes , trying very hard to find rhythm Video, @priya_sreekumar And do see those peacocks in the video? What a beauty to witness!😍 . #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #journey #manthan #traveler #travellocal #slowtravel #harmonica #music

And here I am again, With many directions, thoughts, ideas. Questioning things I have been holding and believing till now, I can sense some turbulence within me, It is disturbing. But seems like a healthy one or at least I would like to believe so. Something is preparing to take birth, For which it needs space. So may be I am left with no choice but to stay with it and give the space it deserves. With some fear and hope, both at the same time. There is this urgency to figure out, What it is? What next? How will it look like? Logic is failing. Something else is taking over. Restless. Chaos. Silence. Calm. All at same time. And then I see a tree shedding off its yellow leaves and I smile. #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #solotravel #journey

Well, for now I would let this picture share how grateful I feel to celebrate my Onam here with a family in Eraviperoor village, Kerala. Aunty dressed me up with her saree, jewellery and little make up. And how happy and excited she was to offer that :) Also she gifted me a saree as Onam gift. Happy Onam folks 🌴 #grateful #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #solotraveler #travellocal #slowtravel #solofemaletraveler #kerala🌴 #keralagodsowncountry #eraviperoor #keralagram #kerala360 #onam #onam2019 #keralasaree #festivalsofindia #villagesofindia #travel #travellife #travelnama #travelblogger #travel #love #grateful

Baby goat and I say hiiiiiii to you from Eraviperoor village, Kerala 🌴 It feels like I have come here to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with this place and its people 🌻 Last year, exactly at the day of Onam I came here for Flood Relief for a week. And the experience was heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Apart from everything it had to offer, the best was the family which happened to host me. Having no clue of each other then to being a part of their family today, has been a loving journey 💚 So this time, I gave them a surprise by visiting them for Onam. Idea is to spend some time with them, celebrate Onam, spend time with animals at the farm, have lots of Kerala food and get surrounded by overdose of Malayalam having no clue to understand it 😋 #nazariyabynancynayak #nancynayak #solotraveler #solofemaletraveler #travellocal #slowtravel #keralagram #kerala🌴 #kerala #keralagodsowncountry #kerala360 #eraviperoor #onam #onam2019 #southindia #festivalsofindia #villagesofindia #travel #travelgram #travellife #travelbloggers #travel #travelnama #incredibleindia #journey #manthan
