People and Places, Zanskar

The incredible people of Ladakh, helping and guiding us to safely wade through the intimidating Zanskar River. Frozen during the winter, the river used to be the only means of connecting the valley people of remote Zanskar Valley with the rest of Ladakh.

Pencil Sketches from Old Sketchbook

Sharing a couple of sketches from early days of sketching. There are more from that time, but sharing just 2 for now. These are not perfect but I was learning & practising.

Pressed Flower Art – Bookmarks

Pressed flower art is my favorite art & craft activity. Not only is it super easy, but also pretty, inexpensive, and quick (most times). It has always turned out pretty, and I think there’s no way to fail at it because flowers are so pretty, right?

George Everest House Near Mussoorie

It was a beautiful morning that made me want to hike to some place but not too far, as I had a bus to catch that would take me back to Dehradun that evening. I ate a good breakfast, packed a small, light, day bag and set off to visit Sir George Everest House.
