Nestled in nature, Abhinav didn’t take much time to settle in the rhythm of his new life. Every day was a new adventure.

A voracious reader, avid traveller, and music aficionado, Ankit is a multifaceted creative. Hailing from a family of artists and educators, he developed a penchant for arts, aesthetics and creative writing at a young age. Ankit's tryst with journalism began in the late 2000s when he started writing music blogs, journals and reviews for a plethora of international ezines and magazines. Captivated by the mysteries of the human mind and existence in his mid-20s, Ankit also delved deeper into the myriad aspects of Indo-Tibetan wisdom traditions by travelling to and living in Himachal Pradesh and Nepal, where he got the opportunity to study under several meditation masters, scholars and academics. He firmly believes that our thoughts and experiences constantly shape our inner being and define how we interact with others. At Soulveda, Ankit wishes to create enriching perspectives that could help nurture a positive outlook on life through which we can all tap into the innate reservoir of happiness and bliss.

It was 8 in the morning. The bus had just reached Manali after an overnight journey from Delhi. Abhinav was among the 50-odd passengers who alighted from the bus. Gazing at the snowy peaks, the 24-year-old felt exuberant to start a new chapter of his life.

He took a taxi to the Mountain Bike Club where he was all set to join as a new member. But while he gazed outside the window and marvelled at the sight of tall pine trees, he played that argument with his parents at the back of his mind.

They wanted him to join their family business but Abhinav’s heart was in the mountains. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t convince them of his dreams. Frustrated, he left his home one day after a bitter fallout.

Nestled in nature, Abhinav didn’t take much time to settle in the rhythm of his new life. Every day was a new adventure. Training, getting know-how of the routes and trails, and engaging with his new comrades—he felt right at home.

Abhinav was taken aback. He hadn’t been in touch with his family for months
