They travelled from Varanasi, where they firstly realised that sitting on the bank gives peace of mind, to Rishikesh to spend some more days in the lap of nature and in company of the river. It is first of trip of Michael and Rachel during which they travelled to Kerala and several other southern States.
From Kerala, they left for Varanasi where they stayed for few days. Watching sun rise was a wonderful experience to them. “It is wonderful to watch sunrise while sitting on the bank of Ganga. It really gives peace of mind,” Michael said. He, however, called the city stressful.
For Michael, peace of mind matters more than any other thing. He feels that the spirituality comes with the peace of mind. After completing his trip, he wants to focus on his work but not at the cost of peace of mind. Presently, he is happy with what he earns.
Michael along with his friend Rachel leaves to spend some more time on the river bank. The duo is mesmerized by natural beauty of Rishikesh. Asked whether they visited Rishikesh to attain spirituality, the duo said that they enjoyed living in the lap of nature since it gave them peace of mind.
