Chef Satya at the Taj created a variety of local Sitting for dinner on the open-air terrace of
delicacies, the best meal I had was at the our hotel in the crisp cold, under a star filled
Aloha Hotel. Here Chef Hari or Hari Bahia, sky Ajay and I wondered what it would be
as locals and friends address him, whipped like to find a cottage here in the mountains
up a feast that I can truthfully say was for the and come away to escape the noise and hectic
gods! activity of the city.
In each of us there dwells a wanderer,
a gypsy, a pilgrim. What matters most
on a journey is how deeply we see, how
attentively we hear. I sat on a rock on banks
of Ganga listening to the sounds of the
river, as daylight slowly faded behind the
mountaintops. There was serenity and a
sense of something sacred; I could hear
the silence and the voice from deep within,
which if I practiced listening to, would
ultimately lead me to that unending fount of
joy.
