Hemant Chhabra , 57 , moving from Mumbai to vikramgad in Palghar was an almost -
overnight decision, in 2012.“ I had a farm there and I realised that I was restless and just not
happy when I came back after my weekend getaways”he says. “ I woke up one morning and
told my wife I wanted to shift. She didn't throw a fit or think I was crazy so we decided to do
it.”
The Chhabras now run of 5 acre organic farm where they grow rice, millets, mangoes, star fruit
and vegetables and rent out a portion of their house as a B&B called The Hideout. “We have cut
out all processed and packaged food,” Himanta says. The idea was to surrender to nature and
create a sustainable lifestyle.” Of their three children, two live on the farm nine year old Ayana
and Aditya, 26 who left his life as a hairstylist in Mumbai to move here last year. “The biggest
challenge”, says Hemant, “was taking the plunge, but it was also the most exciting part .
Leaving everything behind and running a farm has been a journey of unlearning the city life.
”He and his wife now run a small business too, providing eco - friendly bags to fashion brands
like Fab India.
“That means I have to head back into the city, but I have fixed timings for phone calls and make
sure I spend most of my time enjoying the company of my family in the lap of nature.” In
Bengaluru, 27-year-old Sahar Mansoor was so dejected by the garbage problem she began to
notice around her after she returned from studying the global waste problem at World Health
Organization in Geneva in 2015 that she decided to slash waste and has ended up making most
of her consumer goods at home.
“I felt like I need to change how to lived and was inspired by my grandmother, who food whip
up everything from food to cosmetics and her kitchen,” Mansoor says. She now makes her own
toothpaste, shampoos, and kohl and launched a personal and homecare brands called Bare
Necessities in 2016. “It’s turned into a way of life for me, ”she says.“ I realised that I enjoyed
slowing down, finding new alternatives for what I wore, used and ate.”
For Mumbai - based writer and voice- over artist Tanya Siqueira 36, slowing down has meant
riding her life of clutter. “I was shopping unnecessarily and hoarding things that I would never

over hundred pair of shoes,”she recalls.
