Greetings of the day,
My journey from Vadodara to Bodeli was not just a change of place, but a beautiful series of experiences, which touched the mind deeply. As soon as we reached the station early in the morning the light cool breeze and slow movement of passengers further increased the excitement of the journey. As the train picked up speed the changing scenes outside the window appeared like a living painting. The buildings of the city were gradually left behind and replaced by green fields rows of trees and glimpses of small villages. Seeing this natural beauty of nature feel as if time had stopped for a moment and the mind was completely immersed in that scene.

On reaching Bodeli, the first thing that attracted attention were the colorful paintings on the walls of the station. Decorated with local art, this place seemed more lively than an ordinary station. Scenes of rural life, animals, birds and nature were visible in the paintings which reflect the culture and tradition of the region. It was realized that the real identity of a place is not determined by its buildings or facilities, but by its art, people and atmosphere. As soon as we came out of the station we felt a different peace in the atmosphere, which is rarely found in big cities.


The most special aspect of this trip was the time spent with nature. While noise and pollution are common in cities, here the air was fresh and the environment clean. The greenery of trees and open sky makes the mind mentally light and calm. Scientifically spending time in such an environment is also considered helpful in reducing stress and improving mental health. Perhaps this is why people living in rural areas are often more balanced and calm.



At the end of the journey, when the time came to return, there was a strange satisfaction in the mind. This trip was not just an opportunity to roam, but an opportunity to understand that aspect of life which we often forget in the hustle and bustle of the city. The simplicity of Bodeli, the art there and the moments spent in the lap of nature became memorable for me. This experience teaches that sometimes we need to get away from the crowd, to quiet places where life flows in its true rhythm, to feel ourselves again.



The views seen on the way towards the village were very relaxing. Small houses, the smell of soil, vast fields and animals roaming under the open sky – all these together were creating a picture which is difficult to express completely in words. The lifestyle here seemed simple and balanced. People were busy in their work without any hurry, children were playing freely and a spontaneous smile was visible on every face. Seeing all this, I felt that real happiness lies not in the race for modernity, but in simplicity.
