The Madhai Resort

Sarangpur is a quiet kind of place, and that’s where we are set up with The Madhai Resort. It’s not like those big city hotels with the shiny glass doors. We are out here in the Sohagpur area, and it feels a lot more grounded. Most of our time is spent making sure the rooms are tidy and the grounds are looked after. There is always something that needs fixing, whether it is a leaky tap or some gardening that got out of hand. The air is a bit different here than in the crowded towns. We get a lot of people who are just looking for a bit of peace, so we try to keep things simple and not too fussy. The staff is local, and we all just pitch in where needed. Some mornings are slow and you can just hear the birds, but other times it’s a rush to get breakfast ready or help someone with their bags. We don't have fancy uniforms or big speeches. It is just about providing a place to stay while people visit the area. The road out here to Sarangpur is okay, but you have to keep an eye out for the turns. We spend our evenings sitting outside once the work is done. It is a lot of physical labor keeping a resort going, but we are used to the pace of life here in this part of the country.
