  • S2E3 The lull before the storm
    Apr 28 2026

    In the summer of 2016, we decided to camp out at Aanandaa one summer night. This would be the first time we were spending the entire night on the land. We excitedly pitched the tent and set up our bedding. But alas, it was a hot still night with fireflies and mosquitoes in equal measure.

    It turned out to be a sleepless frustrating experience, but we were rewarded handsomely with a beautiful experience at day break.

  • S2E2 A big onion harvest
    Apr 21 2026

    Soon after we loved to Gurgaon, we got our first large harvest - of onions. The local arthiyas did not buy onions. So we had to find other ways to dispose them off. Luckily for us an organic farmer;s market had just started in Chandigarh.

    Our family had a nice adventure sorting, cleaning and bagging onions to take to market. We also carried a sack back to Gurgaon to sell in our society/ condominium. We started learning about how to market our output.

  • S2E1 A step closer to the Land
    Apr 14 2026

    Coming to Gurgaon suddenly felt like a huge leap for us. The physical proximity was there, but also the mental proximity. Moreover, Agam had retired from work, so he could visit very often. I would often drive up on my own starting at 5-5:30 am and reach the farm by 10 spending my weekends doing small and big projects. We were more relaxed in terms of coming and going and our frequency of visits became at least twice a month. We entered a new phase in our relationship with the land. Moved from healing the land to now building it as a future source of income & habitat.
