TRIBUTE TO LADAKH
She stands at “Savdhan” admiring the blazing blue skies and the mountains beyond. Tis a lonely road. It’s a kind of Magic. Ladakh! Leaves many brain dead. The call of the Mountain is strong. Nirvana.
She called last night from thousands of miles away…she talked Ladakh, Buddhism, Peace, Flags, this dung La that dung La. Strange. No golf. She’s an Alice in Chains for Ladakh.
It was a day in July, in the high mountain passes. Loneliness. Was it a dream?
Ladakh provokes thousand different thought to different people, in so many ways.
Blessed are the glaciers, the raging rivers, pristine treeless surroundings.
Tis so easy enjoying pics like this in front of my comp, laid back in comfort. How did I feel that day? BETTER coz Pappa was a Rolling Stone. The Solitary man and his Woman. Biking. Mountains. The meaning of Freedom.
Some of my young biker friends on Flickr go back again in again, the magnetism of Ladakh has that pulling power…. Lets Just Ride. Like Mani Babbar, Motographer. Will they ever stop? They are very talented with their cameras.
I can at best view my pics again and again. Tis the snapshot in the family album. The best there is, is Ladakh. No doubt.
Will I go there again? No. Choice one is Vegas. There is a beggar on Flickr who lives in USA. He is a guest of honor at Caesars Palace. I will deal the Jack of Diamonds to him on the table. Although the Clubs weapons are more.
The memory all fades now…..

Thank you Captain,
Its not about being Talented or being a biker - Its a sheer beauty of this place which keeps me calling in each year.. after year.. 4 years in a row and its been an endless journey..
Sometimes, we shall look over to the nature as what God gifted us, not just as a traveler making his journey to observe what God has given to us all.
We skip when we want to copy others,
We miss when we try to challenge others, And
We must not skip and miss when the Landscape is So Amazing..
Thanks again for the mention.. and Due Respect.
CheerS

There are two kinds of people on Planet Earth.
The ones who have been to Ladakh
and
the vast majority, who have not.
I belong to the 2nd category.
Must go there one of these days......years...
