Apart from the open Black Sea, there are many waterfalls in Georgia that Nino, her brother, and I explored. One such waterfall was the Atari Chkali waterfall. It was a huge waterfall, and I even managed to sit on a rock and meditate near it. The water fell from the top of a high rock, cascading down like a white serpent. It was wonderful; I could feel the spray of the water on my face and head as Nino took pictures of me meditating on the rock.
There were tourists wearing raincoats, taking pictures of the waterfall gushing down from the high rocks above. It was a perfect spot for me to meditate; I chose a high rock and sat on it for over ten minutes, taking deep breaths and meditating quietly. It was also a perfect spot to take some great pictures.
During the drive back from the waterfall, I kept my attention on Nino. I found her to be a fun-loving lady who enjoyed making funny TikTok videos throughout the drive. At times, she would show them to me as well. I have also been using TikTok for a while, and I thought she was really creative at it.

“You know, Anuj, all of Nino’s friends are crazy,” Joseph said to me as I munched on a bag of potato chips and enjoyed the view from afar.
Nino was also an animal lover. Apart from having a pet cat, she was also feeding the dogs that would come near us during our lunch. That is a good quality of hers that I liked immensely.
“You know, my mother had a lot of problems handling me when I got into drugs for a while. I was a nightmare for her. But now I have grown up and forgotten my past. I have also lost all my old friends as I have moved on in life,” she told me over our many conversations as we explored this magnificent country.
“I invite you to come to India. I can send you tickets, and you can come and see India with me, especially the spiritual city of Varanasi,” I told Nino.
“I don’t know if my brother would allow me to come; he is very possessive about me,” she replied.
“I know when I give you ice cream or buy chocolate for you, he says Nino doesn’t want it. He tries to keep us both apart during our trip. He has even asked you not to take my pictures,” I said with a sad look on my face.
“But you are a grown-up girl; you can make your own decisions,” I told Nino.
“Why don’t you talk to my brother that you want to invite me on a trip to India?” Nino replied.
“I think I will do that tomorrow,” I replied.
After enjoying the Atari Chkali waterfall, we had lunch together and then proceeded back to my apartment to end the day’s excursions.
