What 2020 has taught me so far | Yogita

By Yogita Sharma on June 19, 2020

The year 2020 has been an adventurous roller coaster ride, which is mostly a downturn ride, I wish this time passes soon and waiting for better days. Every day I wake up to hear some good/positive news to feel a little better. Surprisingly, I never imagined phasing these low times this good. Holding up and trying not to give up soon. It is a difficult time which teaches us to be prepared for unexpected, It is like hope for the best but prepares for the worst. I am going to share a few things I have learned this year so far.

Let’s meet Bambi in Nara

By Yogita Sharma on July 24, 2019

Nara Park is a public park, located in Nara city, is famous for its semi-wild deers who are friendly and intelligent. I went to this city just to visit this park, it is special because of over 1200 deers freely roaming around in this beautiful natural treasure, and are friendly to humans as they get lots of human interaction every day. They are so intelligent that they have learned to bow if you offer them food, you can easily get the husk crackers outside the park which they love to eat.

How I tried my First Kimono

By Yogita Sharma on October 2, 2018

It happened when we were attending a huge get-together and got to meet lots of people there, there I met an elderly Japanese lady who asked me if I had tried a kimono to which I said no, I didn’t get a chance yet, though there were so many one day kimono trial shops while I was traveling in Kyoto as I was alone and had camera and bag and it was difficult to carry it. She immediately offered me to try her kimono and I didn’t have words, we were total strangers.

How my first solo trip happened

By Yogita Sharma on July 26, 2018

I never thought my solo trip would ever happen, but it just happened when I had to stay alone at home and my boyfriend suggested me to travel solo instead and I can’t thank him enough for this. Initially, I was not sure and being honest I was a bit unhappy with his suggestion, with the thoughts like this (how the hell he can say this to me, I wouldn’t be able to communicate, I would feel awkward and lonely, won’t he miss me, doesn’t he know I have never even crossed the border of my city alone and this time it was a foreign country with an alien language, How am I going to manage everything, what if I got lost, Doesn’t he want to travel with me, doesn’t he know how much my parents were worried about my journey from India to Japan) but I gathered all the confidence and overcame my fear and said yes to this enriching lifetime opportunity.
