An Excellent women Saloon in Badbar

One pleasant surprise during my recent stay in my village was discovering a modern beauty spa for women, located barely 50 feet from our house.

At first, it seemed unbelievable that such a professional facility could exist in a small village. But Harvinder visited the spa and was thoroughly impressed. She told me that the owner provides virtually every beauty and skincare service that one would expect in the finest salons of major cities. Her skills are so highly regarded that women travel from Sangrur, Langowal, and many surrounding villages to avail themselves of her services.

Harvinder became quite friendly with the owner during our stay. What impressed her even more was that the services were not only excellent but also very reasonably priced. In fact, Harvinder felt that the spa was cleaner, more spacious, and offered a better overall experience than many well-known salons she had visited in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi.

It was heartening to see such high-quality entrepreneurship flourishing in a village. It is a wonderful example of how modern amenities and professional standards are no longer confined to big cities. Rural India is changing, and in many ways, it is setting new benchmarks of its own.

There are few moments in my life that give me greater satisfaction than walking through my farms in my native village of Badbar, District Barnala. 

A year before

I love to show the growth of produce which will be a part to feed the millions through government subsidized schemes.

As I stroll through the lush green fields, with the wheat crop standing tall and stretching towards the sky, I experience a deep sense of pride and contentment.

Being guided to walk in a mud path in the field.

Although the weather may be warm, the gentle breeze blowing across miles and miles of green fields feels remarkably cool and refreshing. Filtered through the dense vegetation, the air carries the fragrance of the ripening crop, reminding me of nature’s incredible generosity. In another month or so, this golden wheat will be ready for harvest, fulfilling its purpose of nourishing countless families.

Amongst serious discussions.


At such moments, I bow my head in gratitude to the Almighty for blessing us with the privilege of cultivating the land. There can be no greater satisfaction than producing food that feeds others. It is a humble service to humanity and a constant reminder that the earth rewards sincere labor with abundance. 

Relaxing and enjoying the fresh breeze in warm weather. You never feel the sun heat here.

Above all, I owe a great deal of this journey to my life partner Harvinder. Since five plus decades, she has stood beside me through every visit to Badbar constantly encouraging me to preserve and develop our ancestral land. Her love for nature, farming and trees has inspired us to invest in our heritage rather than abandon it. Whatever our farms have become today in no small measure, a reflection of her unwavering support, vision, partnership.

Every visit to these fields renews my faith, fills my heart with peace, and strengthens my bond with the land of my ancestors. For me, this is true wealth, true happiness, and one of life’s greatest blessings.
