Junglee Phool Journal Issue 01: Phulo-Phalo फूलो-फलो: Notes on Blooming (FREE Digital PDF)

Guided by the Hindi idiom phulo-phalo फूलो-फलो, this inaugural issue of Junglee Phool Journal reflects on what it means to bloom like flowers and bear fruit, not on command, but by tending to the season that arrives. 

Told through the refrain "I didn't plan...but I did," Geshu Sugandh looks back at the past year and welcomes the new year by exploring the seeds that bloomed, the conditions that aligned to make it possible, and the pruning of old comforts to make space for a new way of beginning. It’s an invitation to notice what might be blooming inside you, even if you didn’t plan it.

Inside this digital issue, you’ll find a personal essay, photographs, original word art, and three reflection prompts to carry forward.
