Rahul and Sampada run Farm of Happiness, a homestay about forty kilometres from Ratnagiri. Both left city careers to build this place. Arjun sat down with them to talk about food, culture, what children will and won't eat, how cropping patterns have shifted, and what climate change looks like as it moves from their fields into their kitchens. The conversation moves the way cooking does. Slow, unhurried thoughts spoken as they arrive. Listen in, see what it brings up for you.

Hands of Transition started in 2025 with a straightforward idea. The people living through food insecurity and climate stress are also the ones best placed to fix it. It brings together communities across India who are already doing that work, connecting design, storytelling, and on-the-ground action in ways that feel organic rather than imposed. There's no top-down blueprint here. The initiative is built around making room for these communities to tell their stories and drive change from within.
