My husband and I moved to rural Himachal, a state in India’s Himalayas, 7 years ago and so much of what you resonates! Learning about and participating in a culture that I’ve (it’s my home state) been divorced from till we moved here, the community and interconnectedness, the growing and sharing of some of our own food and the cooking from scratch, the local treatment of local foods… it’s all Magic!
Thank you so much for sharing that. I’m so happy that you’ve created a home and reconnected with the community and culture. I’ve read that Himachal has very good fruits?! I wonder if you also have fruits like persimmon? Here they grow abundantly!
Persimmon grows here and is called japani phal (or Japanese fruit) but isn’t so abundant. More common are the stone fruit - apricots, peaches, plums, and apples, pears and mulberry.
