When in Ladakh, it is common to spot Gompas. These monasteries are same in a lot of ways yet different in many. You will begin to predict what will you see once you are inside a Gompa but you will still want to visit. The colors are vibrant and against a pristine sky, the structure … More Frames

I was watching it rain with the windows rolled up. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Those water droplets sliding off … More Two elements
These officers are partners right from the time they are recruited. One afternoon, during my commute to the other work location, I saw them crossing the road. They were in sync, their steps were measured and they were focussed on the task in hand. No smiles and no distractions. No smartphones and no chatting. No photos … More Partners
Three years ago on this day, Happiness and Food was born. This blog has been my den; the place where most of my thoughts reside, feelings are shared and rants exposed.
