I made a decision to work in the mountains when I was 18.  Since then have been trying to find some relevant work which could help me fulfill this dream.  Voice of Himachal, the non-profit which I helped setup in 2003  did help me in moving back with a purpose.

Now that I am here and have lived for more than 3 years high up in the mountains I look forward to networking with like minded people who share similar beliefs such as mine.

Over these years have gained some insights about living in the mountains and I hope to connect / network / team-up with people sharing the following traits:

  • You should be thoroughly bored of staying in cities like Delhi / Chandigarh / Bangalore / Pune / Mumbai / Chennai / Kolkata / Hyderabad.
  • Should be a nature lover and a greenie.
  • Should have love for the mountains, its ecology and people.
  • Willingness to walk in wilderness for long distances is a must. (To catch up with the team when not working).
  • Understands and values the importance of start-up/entrepreneurship/bootstrapping etc.
  • You are comfortable working from an office little larger than a car garage but with amazing views of mountains and river flowing by.
  • Once in a while be ready to cook meals for self and office colleagues.
  • Should be comfortable watching the latest flick on a pirated CD and not in a multiplex.
  • Seeking spirituality yet enough money to lead a comfortable and stress free life.
  • Looking forward to adapting to a slower pace of life and slow not because of traffic jams.
  • You should be ready to teach the skills honed over the years with the local community & freshers.
  • Willing to learn some life skills from the community in return.
  • Would like to spend Saturday evenings gazing at stars with family and friends.
  • Enjoy the bluest of the blue sky which is free of dust and pollution.
  • Sees the next one to two years as a journey and not the end in itself.

Well if you think you are so desperate that you would like to hitch the next bus/tempo or even bailgari up the serpentine roads then lets talks.  Maybe this helps you exercise a choice which you always wanted to.
