An unexpected day in Jagatsukh | Story of a Mumbai girl living in the Himalayas 

I WROTE A BOOK. Yes, and you can read it now. It's available worldwide. Read 'Baatein Beyond Borders' - linktr.ee/antarik ☺🎊 PS: I hope you liked the video. You can read more about Divya's life, work, income etc on her blog: obsessivecompulsivetraveller.com/ Do consider spreading the positivity by sharing the video. Also, subscribe to my channel and check out the new travel vlogs I post every week- videos from across India, Nepal and South-East Asia 🙂

Divya is a blessed person. She seems to understand that only a few things are important & necessary for life : 1.Good health 2. Peace of mind 3. A decent roof over your head 4. Simple food 5. And good sleep Everything else is just luxury which we could live without.

This girl has achieved Nirvana in its true sense. She broke her inhibitions, rose above her fears, her insecurities she knows exactly what she wants and how much she wants. She does not neither believe in a fake pretentious life nor lives it. She is real in every sense, be it her lifestyle, her decisions, her priorities. She is a true monk without the robes !! This is how humans are supposed to live- be one with oneself and be one with ones surroundings accepting what comes to you naturally. no greed, no ego, no fear equals to no sickness no stress and healthy life of both mind and body.

She has heart of lion.... living alone and leaving Mumbai... There is lot to learn from this courageous lady.... Hatts off

I live in Shimla. Himachal is heavenly, and locals gentle folks. Youngsters like drinking during weddings etc, but they dance and sing loudly thereafter and do not fight. Life has a smooth, slow pace. Rarely will Himachali talk or discuss about money or compare how much you earn. We are simple satisfied peaceful loving people. She can live her entire life here alone without any fear of anyone harming her in any way. Be happy and content. Blessings.

Khush. Ho ..?? .. bahut jyada .. more than khush . I’m content ..khush had tide like up and down ..) but contentment is permanent ) .. what a powerful response ...!!!! 🌺🌺 .. her words completely match her reaction .. hats off to her for such a bold and beautiful decision .. really out of box living .. stay blessed ..!!! संतोष एव पुरुषस्य परम् निधानम्

This girl lives an introvert's dream

When she talks about the cow, she definitely misses her.

Was very impressed with Divya and her calm demeanor. She came across as someone who has figured out what she wants.

Love Divya's take on life; everything she said, the way she said reflected her maturity beyond years; could relate to a lot of her views and opinions :)

"I don't make my day , the day makes plan for me" wonderful lines coming from a wonderful lady. She is living a pure life better than those self obsessed idiots waking up clicking selfies🤳and ending their day clicking selfies for Instagram.

This lady’s conversation is very engrossing. I am happy that she could finally break the shackles of urban pseudo-life and be one with nature. ❤️ from Canada.

Randomly came across this vlog, this vlog taught me , never keep running always, got one life, live it !!! Got positive vibes bro

This girl has already achieved what very few people can. She has reached a state of nirvana which is to essentially dissociate yourself from worldly possessions, live a life of contentment and be at one with nature. It takes courage and guts to break away from the norm and the mainstream and do something that your heart truly desires. Living solo in a village so far away from home is not for the faint of heart. Many people dream about this life but the fear of the unknown always prevents them from doing anything about it. Most people are afraid how they will make ends meet in a place like this but they don't realize that it takes very little money to live off the land and survive. Nature provides everything we need if you are ready to bend your back a little. Only thing nature cannot provide is man made luxuries. I am so glad that her family has accepted her decision and lifestyle. Most parents just want to see their kids run after money and participate in the rat race because they equate money and job to social status and success. Happiness is a forgotten concept. It's almost as if we were born to work for someone, chase targets day in day out and provide for the family without any questions asked. The path that our life will take has already been decided by them even before we were born and to deviate from that is seen as a grave offense. All my best wishes are with her! May she continue to live this peaceful life and hopefully this RU-vid exposure won't bring unwanted guests at her place.

What an inspiring alternate narrative of ...."..not happiness...but satisfaction.."👍👍

I don't plan a day, a day plans me -- I loved this from her 👍👍

It takes lots of courage to follow ur instinct. Divya is strong headed n independent. I love how she living on her on n exploring things. This is indeed rare in the society we live in. I wish her the best for her future.

Perfect name for a perfect place. "Jagatsukh"

Divya's divya gyan- satisfaction will lead you to ultimate happiness. Happy New year 2021!

This was beyond beautiful and inspiring!!! Khush se zyada santusht hun, waah!!!

Many of us dream to live like this but it takes courage to adapt to a completely different lifestyle.. bravo girl!

Wow.. This girl is in.. Heaven.. She is very pure soul...

This girl is amazing! It takes a lifetime to realize what she knows already. Hats off to her grit, emotional stability and maturity. Pranam 🙏

Deep learning from this. Happiness comes in tides and contentment comes from within! ❤️

Love her vibes... Connected with everything Divya said.

Listening to her talk and watch her live her life, I feel like I found my twin sister... God bless you !

The best video in youtube I have ever seen. Specially the thoughts of your friend Divya. So matured. Her beauty also matches with the surrounding nature.

Divya and her philosophy stole my 72 year old heart. Great girl.!! Be blessed Ma.

If u start to feel happy with your own company,that’s mean u know the meaning of life..

I've seen " Foreigners " living such a happy and satisfied life. I'm so proud and utterly amazed by the spirit of this braveheart. Love you girl. How I wish I had the courage you have in my younger years. Bravo.

She sounded too content and about the happiness part she is spot on. "Mujhe lagta hai main santusht hun ...." That is all needed in life. May all your wishes come true. Thanks Antarik for creating this beautiful content. I feel so content watching these :)

Divya is living a dream life. Good that she realized the truth early and decided to live her dream. God bless her

Divya...hats off to you.You are living my life.I wish to do the same.I was till my teens in hills and Marriage snatched me away....till date I'm waiting some miracle to happen because I don't belong in plains.But YOU have taken MY step.God bless you.

Divya is living my future. I've given myself 2 yrs to settle everything and leave Pune for the mountains. I'm petrified of creepy crawlies....except that can't wait to begin my dream come true! Thank you for sharing this with us.🙏

Khushi se jyada santusht hun.. That's a really million dollar line.. 💕💕👍

I am from himachal now married in mumbai and aspiring to go back to mountains place where I belong to I am blessed eith materialistic things in mumbai. but I can say... it does not give me peace that a simple life in himachal gives

Hum Himachali h hi ase simple and humble..Jo aap ko yaha k environment m feel karte ho...iam so lucky iam born and brought up in Himachal....I love my Himachal ❤️

Divya is a modern human in her natural state that is in constant connection with nature! And that state comes only to those who dare break the grind of regular unconnected life of the city. Somebody mentioned in comments that she has achieved Nirvana , and i totally agree with that! Nirvana is letting go and finding your connection with nature and live an effortless life without any push to reach anywhere ! Much love to Divya! She is an inspiration to all 👍🏼🙌🏽👏🏼

A content life is more rewarding than a happy life just as Miss Divya in the video said, "happiness is like high tide and low tide". Very true! Humans expect happiness at every corner of life. In reality, life cannot be exciting, adventurous, thrilling, or hep and happening all the time. Of course, sometimes life is like that, but when it doesn't happen like that, humans believe life is so boring or unhappy! Being able to get over this high and low tide to simply be content; That's priceless!

She is not lonely; it is just that she is alone.

Stay blessed guys. I miss india... living in canada 24 years.. I wish I can join you guys

Thanks for putting this out. Your friend has clarity of thought. The closing remarks gave it all 'its not about being happy, but content'. When u r at peace u don't need anyone around :)

दिव्या,,,, proud of you,, very few have guts to live life of their dreams

There are many people who like to talk about this life, some try even, but most won't last. The philosophy she's developed, I think I understood it. ❤️ Reminds me of the closing of 'Highway'.

Happiness is not about how much of the world's riches you have. It's about how contented you feel with the portion that is allotted to you..

She is so calm and relaxed so nice to see such a strong person. So much peace when she talks. So much happiness around her.

Antarik, frankly speaking another masterpiece from you in the form of a short docu. It was brilliantly edited with a personal touch. Her life is an inspiration for many.

What an inspiring video. Kudos to the girl and her story because I have felt the same and she has helped me find a few answers.. This was brilliant.. thanks for sharing

She is the bravest and beautiful women I have seen on u tube so far.

Love her honesty and humility. She's so real. The Mountains are peaceful yet dangerous and include hard work. Yet, the peaceful expression on her face is priceless. 🥰 Thank you for sharing.

Omg!! She is such an inspiration for introverts like me. And, I must say Antarik's editing skill upped the emotions all together 🔥

Wow Man ..! Her Story is so inspiring.. I never thought that I would get inspired so much listening to her story. I really liked the fact that she accepted our Himachal with such beauty and open arms. I’m from Dharamshala- Kangra itself but put up in Noida 😇 Hats Off to this Amazing Lady 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

It's really wonderful seeing a person who is living her life in her own terms

Loved her way .. unknowingly people can be so amazingly down to earth

Divya looks very mature and kind of sorted... Thanks for bringing her story to us... Life is about experiencing you both are doing that to fullest

She is amazing! It takes lot of courage to break free.

Wow..... Wonderful...... The way your friend has chosen the place to live with the nature kindles me also...... Lovely..... 👍

Diviya gave a very genuine thought about her life with honestly, and content as well in the video.

It's really a great to see divya' s passion and her love for nature. From Mumbai to Himachal.

Hi🌿🌿✨✨I saw my ownself, the difference is the mountain chose her n I'm waiting for mine💕🌿🌿✨⛰️I know nature can be your companion ... A true one❤️👍

This is how life should be slow placed less expectations somewhere we all are trapped in this artificial suffocating world... btw this women is just wow clear thoughts, firm n bold decisions she is a doer n this is what i truly call a empowered women

Divya is a truly inspiring and down to earth soul. Hats off to her for following her heart and her instinct and finding contentment in her life at such a young age! Having trekked and climbed in the Himalaya in the 1980s and 1990s, Himachal Pradesh remains one of my top choices and has provided me with tons of adventures and happy memories. Thank you Antarik for highlighting someone who thought out of the box and had the guts to follow through on her dream. All of us can learn from her attitude.

Hats off to Divya from a fellow Mumbaikar. Her journey from Arabian sea to mountains is amazing.Wish her happy living in the mountains.

She summarizes one of the core concept of Hindu philosophy in one sentence- “More than being Happy, She is Content” ! Thanks for sharing this video

I really liked she said happiness is like high and low.. satisfaction is more necessary

Divya...you have stolen my heart..each and every word you said ....I loved it... God bless you ...There are very few people who are able to follow their passion... you are one of them.. Great inspiration..

A great lesson can be learn from Divya: Don't wait for your 60 to cross, listen your heart and proceed accordingly towards eternal truth to get eternal happiness like Divya! God bless you.

Beautiful content. I liked the way she explained the way she herself n the life it is amazing, beautiful just loving the whole video.

This is what one should mean by living in the mountains.. absolutely inspiring..I couldn't have figure out that she's not local and from Mumbai.. Thank you so much Antarik for sharing her story with us..❤️❤️

The Best Video dear ! And the conversations too great! Thanks I came across this post.

Oh she is fearless ! That's a perfect decision Divya ! Loved you!

How did she convinced her parents and family?? It's my dream too.. living peacefully, away from all artificial things and be with myself ☺️💓

This is perfect for self soul searching and being blissful.

"Satisfied and content" : best part of the whole conversation...

Power packed brave lady! Hats off to her. Thanks for sharing.

The mountains have instilled in her the essence of life!

Fell in love with Himachal during one of my trips..would love to make Dharsmsala my home..

For a Bombay girl you are doing extremely well in the hills !! I am certain one of the most often asked question, by outsiders, is , " what do you " Something I am asked regularly. I don't think a day has gone by when I've felt "ab kya kare" Been around the world and back home to Uttrakhand. Love it no regrets. Don't miss the city at all.

She is a brave happy, content girl. I salute her guts to follow her dream.

I am so impressed with her honesty. Happiness is overrated. Being satisfied and Content is most important. The mountains are sharing their wisdom wisdom with her. Wishing you the best Divya ❤️. Hopefully someday I cud share a meal with you. I'll get paneer😊 Love from Mumbai!!!!!!

I would personally love to meet and talk with Divya , her views on life resonate with mine.... Thank u for sharing video from bottom of my heart...

WOW.. Accidents are incidental..loved what she said...life leads you to where you need to be.....

What a beautiful person she is, inside and out! This is a truly content person, I love her approach to life and her perspective. Thank you so much for sharing her story! 🥰🥰

I wish I can live her life so peace n stress less life.lucky lady ☺️best wishes from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪

Your way of presentation and voice is quite natural and renders a pleasing feeling. Thanks.

What ever she has expressed is so pure...She is very courageous to choose life over money...and we all just think that Kaash main ye life ji paata...and look she made that happen..Great...Girl power👍

Absolutely loved it. The lady is just amazing ..Lots of love ..

You are living in the present, living in the moment💖😍🙏 People are stressed out thinking about the future, they all need to stop being stressed out and be just like you💖🙏

If i talk about a life, she surely moved much ahead of an average person- rich or poor. Wish she find ultimate goal in this life.

Divya said it - to each to his own and our own path of finding content... well put 💐🙏🏼

Her reply - khush se zada content hun..summed up all ❤️ Randomly came through this vlog ..and thoroughly enjoyed. It's thought provoking vlog.. though I am also living in mountains.. bt just 4 hours from my home town and she is from Mumbai and adapted this simple life..hats off

What she do now for earning ?

She has tremendous exprience

The girl really showed the facts behind the glamour of living in mountains. Every where in world u have to work hard for your type of life style. And PEACE really stays in your mind and not in place where u live.

The lady took the right decision... being content is being sensible... God bless and be happy for ever...👍

Divya has her thoughts completely sorted it seems from the outside, but sometimes there is that twinkle of doubt in her eyes and her expressions of whether she's really doing what she wants. I hope with time, she will evolve beyond that doubt and finally find true contentment in the life she has chosen. At least, this is a life she has chosen and not had it thrust upon her. That is her biggest contentment.

13:32 it's not Jamdagini rishi mandir. It is 'Jamadagni Rhishi'

Absolutely loved watching this.
