Hi, I’m Aakash Ranison

I’m 21 and at this stage of my life, two things keep me going: my wanderlust to explore the world and my desire to work for climate change. My work and life revolve around these two things and I do whatever I can to keep it that way. I’m a Traveller at heart and an Entrepreneur by choice.

No, I didn’t go for Safari because I just wanted to see the Tiger. I love nature and being in such a huge jungle surrounded by nature is a real treat for me. I genuinely felt happy being there.
•
5:30 AM I was ready to head out for Safari, I was joined by two team members from IRIS and our guide Mr.Prem[He acted a little in the movie “KAAL”]. The Safari was for 3 hours, 6 AM to 9 AM.
• Close to nature, I am like a kid. I get fascinated with trees, birds, rocks, and many other random things I don’t even know about. In between the Safari, we did see a tiger it’s just he was resting quite far from our jeep.
•
The whole time while on Safari “KAAL” movie’s soundtrack kept playing in the back of my mind. I loved to know more about life in the Jungle and how everything is connected to each other.
“Monkey and deers are best buddies”. 😛
•
Ahh, so the safari ended but the day isn’t… We then along with Mr.Pradeep the IRIS resort manager headed for three more exciting experiences;
- Getting to know more about Jim Corbett(Museum). Jim Corbett was a guy, yes.[Google to know more.]- Visiting a Hydro Attaa Chakki setup. For the first time, I saw I saw a hydro chakki.
- Having 100% organic vegan food. Right from masalas to vegetables being prepared by the family.
•
Damn, What a day was that. I totally enjoyed. Everything was happening my way, I didn’t want that to end but…
•
Wish to revisit Jim Corbett, thank you @corbettwildiris for making my visit to Jim such an awesome experience.

Disconnected from the digital world and close to nature, I was at Jim Corbett National Park. Thank you @corbettwildiris for calling me and taking me to places around. •
It’s been quite sometime that I haven’t been really enjoying internet and I have had enough with cities as well. I wanted to go to Spiti but I knew that Vegan India Conference is coming and I need to stay back for it. I needed to charge myself so that I can survive in Delhi for 5-6 Days hence I went to Haridwar and right after my time in Haridwar, Jim Corbett happened.
•
If you already know me, you know I love time. So I tried my best to utilise my three days in Jim Corbett. The first day, after having an amazing vegan lunch I went on my own exploring the silents roads of Kyari Village. Yes, It was very hot in the noon and as always I was wearing black but this isn’t enough to stop me from exploring. I totally loved that 4 hours yes I didn’t get scared a bit in between but…
•
In the evening Kailash Bhai, who is a residence of Kyari village and works with IRIS Resorts, took for a village walk. Don’t misunderstand this village to like any other village. It won’t be a surprise if you encounter with a tiger, elephant, or any other wild animal.
•
I did see Spotted Deer, Red Fox but what I really enjoyed was knowing about the lifestyle of the village and their perspective towards life. The art of living a happy life with limited recourses and connection from the outer world.
•
With delicious Indian vegan food I ended my day and went to sleep as tomorrow I’ll be going for a Jungle Safari… Read more in next post.

Do you know what a sky full of the star looks like? If not, travel.
•
Do you know what snow tastes like?
If not, travel.
•
Do you know what silence sounds like?
If not, travel.
•
Do you know what winter smells like? If not, travel.
•
Do you know what mountain’s touch is like?
If not, travel.
•
Do know what being in a moment feels like?
If not, travel.
•••
Each of these 6 questions is about one of the 6 senses. If you have answered no for any of the 6 questions, I suggest you travel. Travel for the experiences and not for social media.
• You don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Just remember, It’s okay to lie to the world but it’s not at all okay to lie to yourself.

I am ready to fail, I am ready to die but undoubtedly not at all ready to quit. - Aakash Ranison.
•
I’ve failed a thousand times in the past, Yes, I did fail today in something and I might fail tomorrow again.
•
Each failure breaks me in thousand pieces, It tears me down. It makes me doubt myself. It makes me feel I am nothing and all the decisions I’ve taken in my life were wrong. I’ve wasted all of my time & achieved nothing.
•
It brings me to the ground, makes me dig my own grave and bury myself in it. It rips me apart, It makes me feel like a dead body.
•
But you know what? IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE ME QUIT. Let me tell this to your face very clearly that I’ll die but I won’t quit on my dreams.

तुम सो रास्ते बंद करदो,
मैं हज़ार सुरंगे बनाऊँगा।
•••
तुम एक सपना तोड़ो,
मैं हज़ार नये बुनूँगा।

तुम अपनी ज़िंदगी लगा दो,
मैं अपनी जान लागा दूँगा।

Out of nowhere one happy day Vishal[@edvtra ] dropped me a message here and soon I found myself enjoying the amazing sunsets of Bir Billing.
•
If you ask me to describe my trip to Bir Billing in a few words I would say; Eat, Cycle, Smile, Sleep Repeat.

I’ve been using GoPro for 5 years now but recently I got the opportunity to join the GoPro family. Thank you, GoPro[Team] for being so kind. No doubt, I am enjoying the new GoPro Hero 7 Black and I am clicking a lot of amazing photos. •
