My first detailed post from my trip to India is reserved for my favourite outing… a visit to Sanchi, a World Heritage Site. The only other Heritage sites I had been to are ones in London and our very own Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua.
Bhopal is a beautiful city with amazing scenery and is said to be one of India’s greenest cities. Bhopal is also home to 10 lakes and is aptly tagged as “The City of Lakes”. In this post, I’ll recap with words and images my picture perfect day trip to Bhopal’s Upper Lake.
Back in 2022, I secured an amazing Scholarship opportunity from the Indian Government to spend two weeks in the country learning about Women Empowerment, Policy and Vocational Training. I had the most amazing time and met amazing women who I still keep in touch with to this day. This post is an introduction, obviously, but over a series of post I will be unpacking how I spent my life changing two weeks in India
How Long Has It Been? Too Long! The last time I published anything on this blog was three years ago and in that time so much about me has changed. I feel as though I’ve let this Cotton Tree grow unwatered. I suppose I should take this as an opportunity to reacquaint myself with this space and reintroduce myself. It truly has been awhile.
A lot of toxic behaviours in relationships are deeply rooted in patriarchal thinking. The sense of entitlement men develop in these relationships as well as the desire to take more than necessary from men acting on the “instinct” to provide. Patriarchy has tipped the advantaged far into the male corner certainly but women also use the patriarchy and have developed “trash” tendencies because of it. Men and women are both toxic and “trash” and this has led to a very unhealthy relationship dynamic.
University is like learning to walk, everything takes time, dedication, support, guidance, and of course the first step. University teaches not only the degree work, but valuable life lessons, some of which i've started to grasp even after a short 2 weeks. Here I ramble about what i think i've learned and how awesome i know University is going to be
Sunday is my favorite day of the weekend. I get to bum and sleep in a bit later, and on a good day like today, i get to call up my friends and go to the beach. Quite frankly, i think more locals need to get up, go outside, and enjoy what's free of charge right infront of them.
Today my friend Jhodonna and I decided to visit Galleon Beach. It's one of my favorite places as it has breathtaking scenery and awesome chill spots. Plus not alot of persons know where it is so it's perfectly quiet and excellent for relaxation.
At the beach, there is also a pretty neat restaurant called Roxy's. We ordered Coconut Crushes and barbecue chicken wings and fries. We had an Awesome time.
We had invited a few more persons (2) but they weren't able to make it. They sure missed out on a great day at the rock pools.
