I spent most of my childhood at the foothills of Mathar Dev, nestled in the MPEB Colony of Sarni, Madhya Pradesh. Sarni is a place where the rains fall with an unmatched rhythm, creating a symphony that resonates with the soul. Rainy days were both a blessing and a challenge, with the steady downpour often making it impossible to venture out without being drenched. In 2009, during a period of self-discovery, I decided to trek Mathar Dev on one such rainy day. That journey turned out to be far more than just a trek—it became a memory etched deep in my heart.

The trail to Mathar Dev Hills was alive with the magic of monsoon. As I began my ascent, the rain, a gentle yet persistent companion, bathed the verdant landscape in a mesmerizing glow. Each step brought a new view of Sarni’s raw beauty—mist rising over the hills, the earthy aroma of wet soil, and the vibrant greens of freshly washed leaves. During the trek, I met Satish Nagle, a man with whom I shared profound conversations about spirituality and the essence of our small town. His words and perspectives enriched the journey, making it not just a physical challenge but an exploration of my inner self.
