Rule of life from an email doing rounds (Claiming these are actually delivered in a high school speech by Bill Gates). Whatever they sound very realistic and the best is kept for the last. Rule 1: Life is not fair – get used to it! Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. ...
Trip to Ladhakh – Final part
Day 6-8 Khadungla (Highest Motorable pass) , Chumatang (Hot water springs) , Monasteries (Hemis, Thiksey) & Leh Palace Day 6: A bit of disappointment as snow blocked our way to Khardungla (18380ft above sea level). We waited for the snow to get clear at South Pulu 14 km from the top (K-top) for 2 hours but in vain. We got down to Leh and roam around in market. We had food at local café with some interesting menu items ‘SNAKES’. Fortunately for my wife it was only a spelling mistake. Recommended: Coconut Cookies @ Golden bakery in main market....

Adventurous trip to Leh (Ladhakh)
So finally I got a well deserved break from the daily routine with a long pending family vaccation. My Wify always wanted to see some snow clad mountains and I wanted to go on some adventure holiday. And we discovered a perfect mix in the Land of Lamas-Leh. I have done some goggling before packing our bags for the leh. Few useful tips based on suggestions and personal experiences: a) Leh is on high altitude and really high So you are bound to suffer from high altitude sickness. The degree of effect may vary from person to person. Common...

Mood swing of weather
I have captured the mood swing of weather within a span of 20 min. Is this reflection of what we face in real life too. Everything seems to be going fine and then there are sudden storms, which seems never ending and devastating. But the nature show there is always a bright sunshine after dark clouds. And this keeps us moving in life…. Snow Balls 8:10 AM 8:30 AM
