On my last summer vacation, I had an unusual holiday in Rajasthan. I went with my friends. Instead of staying in a typical hotel, we stayed with villagers in their traditional homes. And, uh, the village had no internet connection or mobile connection. So this was a significant change from our connected life. We spent our entire day hiking in the mountains. And, uh, sometimes we also helped the villagers with their daily chores. And in the evening, we sat around the fireplace and heard stories about the village and learned about their culture and traditions. This was a refreshing vacation, rather than a regular beach vacation. The experience was incredibly enriching, and I felt a deep sense of peace and connection with nature. And also, I learned about the simple lifestyle, how villagers live their lives on a regular basis.
