For the past few decades, there has been some crisis or the other in the world. Should you prepare for such eventualities ? Well it doesn’t hurt to be in a state of preparedness for any emergencies. We have been doing so in a very casual way since more than 2 decades. These are my my top 15 tips to prepare for any emergencies. In view of the latest world events and developments these tips could be a life saver for your family and loved ones.
I have been working really hard to learn a whole new skill of uploading videos on my Vital Fair Living You Tube channel.
Rather than letting all my knowledge go to a waste. I got this idea of filming videos of my cooking and our gardening experiences.
The videos will also give an insight into modern Swiss country living.
Above all it will also give my little daughter something to learn and remember me by.
All my videos will be uploaded into this channel.

I had so many ideas of how to make an introduction video. Finally while going for a walk on a sunny spring day, I just took my new video camera with me. My daughter and her friend wanted to cycle into the woods on this warm spring afternoon. They were very enthusiastic to forage for wild garlic. So it was nice to engage them in foraging for wild garlic. I wanted to make Wild garlic pesto like every year. It was fun despite all my technical hiccups. It was an awkward first to make the video as I was not very knowledgeable with this camera, recording or editing. But I had to start somewhere and I have been learning ever since.
We picked the wild garlic too. And I made a wild garlic pesto. My first video with some recipe and content. Looking back I would record the video and edit it differently.
I worked hours and hours to get to this point.
I hope to build up an audience to share my knowledge with.
Hi, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Chitra, the heart behind this blog—a space where I share my journey toward a slower, more intentional way of living. I’m passionate about getting back to basics: cooking real food from scratch, growing what I can, making things by hand, and reducing waste wherever possible.
In my kitchen, you won’t find shortcuts packed with food grown from our garden using just simple ingredients, real flavors, and time-tested recipes. From homemade bread and garden-fresh soups to nourishing staples, I believe in the magic that happens when we slow down and cook with care.
Whether it’s a few pots on the patio or a full backyard garden, We living on the Swiss country side have found deep joy (and lots of lessons!) in growing my own food. We love sharing gardening tips, seasonal planting guides, and how even small spaces can yield big harvests. We also share our flops in our videos on our Youtube channel.

This blog is rooted in mindful choices. I explore ways to reduce plastic, repurpose what I have, and live a little lighter on the earth. Sustainability doesn’t have to be perfect—it’s about progress, intention, and doing what we can.
I believe our bodies deserve gentle, natural care. I love crafting homemade beauty products like herbal salves, sugar scrubs, and simple skin treatments—all with ingredients you can actually pronounce.
This lifestyle is far from fancy or flawless—but it’s real, grounding, and deeply fulfilling. My goal is to inspire others to slow down, reconnect with their home, and find joy in the everyday.
Whether you’re here for a bread recipe, composting tips, or just a breath of calm—thank you for joining me. Let’s grow something good together.
Warmly,
Chitra
