Wild Saurashtra

I guess it doesn’t just suit me, my name or my personality…the ’sinh’(lion) factor that generally the Rajputs of Saurashtra affix after their names, like the couple of cousins I recently travelled with. The one from Paris, an artist, is called Lalsinh and the one from UK is Siddhrajsinh Gohil. Both adorable souls though… but this ’sinh’ thing just does not set in with me!!

I could have easily been called Divyapratapsinh Gohil or Bhagiratsinh Gohil…and look like this -

Not bad maybe… but I think Manav works fine for me ;) .

The lack of ‘Sinh’ in the name though does not make me feel any less attached to the land I belong to. Sure Lalsinh and Siddhrajsinh will agree :)

Two days- Reunion with cousins-Wild GIR forest- 44 degree C- Had a blast!

My heart clearly belongs to that land. It was a beautiful feeling to have travelled all the miles & the years back, where it all began for me.

A photographic memoir of the trip -

 

Travel. Explore…There is nothing more enriching!
