Yet he seeks for another’s love, not hers;
And some poor [...]

Ladakh

I traveled to Ladakh almost exactly a year ago – a six odd day trip across some of the highest roads and amazing vistas. From Manali via Sarchu to Leh and then from Leh to Nubra Valley and Pangong Tso. It was an exhilarating experience. The whole experience of sitting on a bike and just traversing [...]

Bliss

How do you define the feeling of bliss? Isn’t it subjective? I recently had the pleasure to visit Peru, do the Inca trail to Machu Picchu, stay at a beach house south of Lima and experience bliss. But then, staying home listening to good music, blissfully drinking beer and memorizing the nostalgia of a life [...]
