Who ever said "best things in life come in small packages.."











well again - after a long long break from bloggin - back here inking my thoughts...
its been a wonderful last two weeks @ Leh ... probably the most adventurous ones of my life ... well the travelougue is due - and will be written in due time (probably over the next one week after i get all the photos and the names of places we went to right) .. tats for later ..

well for now there is something i d want to recount - a picture that wud stay put in my mind for ever - and a statement a friend of my mine mde a couple of years ago ...
Flashback - Dec 2007 Goa, Calangute Beach - me, randolf, Sam, tau, jhaad ... sitting on the beach @ about 2.00 in the nite a few drinks down with a bottle of beer in our hands... looking at the vast strech of water in front of us and the clear sky with the stars on top - we were all a little tipsy and hence philosophical ... this was wen Sam said "I am a person of the mountains - mountains are more beautiful..."

I then thought "everything has its own beauty - wats the point in comparing bro!! enjoy wat u are looking at... " though i didnt say anything;
tat was then - i had not seen Leh - western ghats were the tallest mountains/hills I had seen ..

this incident just flashed through my mind when sitting in the plane on my return from Leh to Delhi as i looked out at the most amazing sight of mountains - white, brown, red, black, green, snow capped - some above the clouds .. some below - with rivers meandering through the valleys and lakes nestled peacefully amidst them ....

Perfect - absolutely perfect;
have attached a few snaps from the trip ... await more as the travelogue unfolds in the coming weeks ..
