for home...

dried apple slices and a packet of herbal tea from Leh.

Apple blossoms and Nubra Valley...

Nubra Valley has been described as a little piece of heaven nestled in the harsh landscape of Ladakh. We had to cross Khardung La Pass,(more on that later) the highest motorable road in Ladakh region to reach the quiet valley of Nubra filled with lush Poplar trees, grazing yaks and traditional Ladakhi houses.We chose a guesthouse called Snow Leopard, Hunder which could easily pass of as any traditional Ladakhi house with narrow gurgling streams, freshly sowed radish patches and apple trees...

The slow pace of life, the subtle fragrance of apple blossoms, the chirping sparrows, that hopping fat red-breasted robin and sipping hot masala chai in the company of interesting people, puts things back in perspective on life.

I believe that travel is an extremely important part of one's life and everyone needs to undertake a journey for themselves.

Peace...

I deeply apologize for going missing from this space.

No excuses. Just didn't have anything inspiring enough to blog about.

Have just returned from our trip to Ladakh. The face of peace appears before me time and again...

Hope to put together a post on oriental/buddhist influence in home decor soon:-)
