In the serene embrace of Uttarakhand's majestic hills, I came into existence, greeted by the symphony of nature that surrounded me. My journey began, and it has been unlike any other. Allow me to share with you the most enchanting aspect of my life: being born and raised in this heavenly abode. The bond I share with my Pahadi roots runs deep, shielding me from the stress and shadows of the ever-expanding urban jungle. There is an undeniable magic, an inherent simplicity, in embracing the Pahadi way of life.
Oh, how my heart longs for the comforting embrace of my home! Still, I find solace as the greatest admirer of my beloved haven. The hills whisper tales of resilience, reminding me that the spirit of being a Pahadi resides forever in my heart, teaching me the true essence of life. I'm Greatfull to witnessed the awe-inspiring grandeur of snow-capped peaks, the gentle melody of flowing rivers, and the vibrant hues of blooming flowers. These experiences have shaped my perspective, teaching me the importance of preserving and cherishing our natural heritage. For no matter where my journey leads, the eternal Blessings of devbhumi will always accompany me, guiding me and keeping me close to my roots and reminding me of the true essence of life itself.

उत्तराखंड की महान ऊँचाइयों के आदर्श में, मैंने अपनी पहली सांस ली और एक ऐसी यात्रा पर निकल पड़ी जो अलग थी। चलो, मैं आपसे अपने जीवन के सबसे प्रभावशाली पहलू का साझा करती हूँ -इस चित्रविद्या आश्रम में जन्म लेने और पालन करने का। मेरा पहाड़ी जड़ों से गहरा रिश्ता मुझे इस अभीष्ट नगर के तनाव और अंधकार से बचाता है। पहाड़ी जीवन को गले लगाने में कुछ सचमुच जादुई, सुंदर और सरल होता है। आह, कैसे इच्छा होती है मेरे घर के प्यारी आलिंगन की! लेकिन अजीब बात है कि प्रगति और विकास का निरंतर चक्र हमें दूर खींचता है। इस भीड़तन्त्र से रोटी, कपड़ा और मकान की मांग अनिवार्य रूप से बढ़ती जा रही है। फिर भी, दूरी में रहकर भी, मैं इस दिव्य भूमि की सबसे बड़ी प्रशंसक होने में सुख महसूस करती हूँ। ऐसा लगता है मानो पहाड़ स्वयं आकांक्षा और शांति की स्रोत मेरे व्यक्तित्व में समाहित करते हैं, जो मुझे याद दिलाते हैं कि जीवन मुझे कहीं भी ले जाए, पहाड़ी होने की भावना मेरे हृदय में सदैव बसी रहेगी। उत्तराखंड, अटल साहस और शांति जहाँ एक साथ निवास करते हैं, यहाँ के पालन-पोषण ने मुझे मेरे पथ पर गरिमा और सम्मान के साथ चलने की शिक्षा देती है| इस प्राकृतिक आश्चर्य के आदर्श में, मैंने जीवन की वास्तविक महत्ता को सीखा है। मैंने बर्फ के सजे पर्वतों की अद्भुत महिमा, बहती हुई नदियों की प्यारी सुरी, और खिलते फूलों की चमकदार रंग-बिरंगी सुंदरता को देखा है। ये अनुभव मेरे दृष्टिकोण को आकार देते हैं, मुझे प्राकृतिक धरोहर की संरक्षण और सराहना करने की महत्वपूर्णता सिखाते हैं।

lets come to what i do, I..how do i explain this..i always notice art. It's something that always captures my attention and brings me joy. I am deeply interested in coding and designing, and I find immense satisfaction in creativity, solving problems. All of these allows me to express myself. There's a quote that has resonated with me deeply,
" Coding is art. Community building is art. Animated loops are art. Spoken poetry is art. We don't get to define art; we just get to witness it. "
Moreover, I hold strong values as a civilizational enthusiast, appreciating the progress and achievements of humanity throughout history, and little bit reading maybe. Phhheeewwwww.. yes, I like all of that... oh-okay, I might be lying about the reading part." While I may not have enthusiasm for reading, I still value the exploration of knowledge through various mediums. I am an INFJ, I would consider myself somewhat introverted but i do fishy stuff somtimes that would literally state the other. But it's true that there's a part of me that hesitates everytime to open up, as if something within me retreats. Nonetheless, I've managed to navigate whith my life successfully, Thanks to my father being in the military and the frequent transfers we experienced, I've mastered in one thing with my experiences, learned to overcome the initial hurdle of introducing myself to new people (especially knowing that our paths may never cross again🥲). It trained me to adapt to new environments and developing social skills (more like being good at moving on with life 😶‍🌫️).

When it comes to my favorite song, it's difficult for me to pick just one as the best. I listen to Garhwali/Kumaouni Pop, Desi Hip Hop, Indian Indie, Nepali R&B, Jpop ...Trust me this does not end. Still my All time Favorite Artist is "Pandavaas". On a related note, I would love it if our conversation touched upon Pahadi music. Although I enjoy listening to songs in various languages, I'm particularly drawn to the charm and uniqueness of Pahadi music. Still I'm one of those individuals who actively seeks out niche songs, disregarding language barriers and Genres.

Pahadi music, be it Kumaouni, Garhwali, Nepali, or any other variant, possesses a special way of expression that resonates deeply with me. Its fusion of elements from nature, the use of local instruments, and the authentic sounds of the mountains, complete with the harmonious presence of native fauna, makes it an exceptionally cherished genre for me. Speaking of which, there's a remarkable creation—a captivating Youtube video titled "The Melodies of the Pahadi Rain." It's an enchanting audio experience that beautifully captures the unique sounds of the mountains. I highly recommend giving it a listen!
