Not so much of an avid blogger am I? Long time hardly any posts. Time was good. Back to saddi Dilli.. in winters had loads of fun in early 2009 and guess the good times are here again as Nov is chilly this time around!!

Sometimes I miss the evening Sydney sky- clear blue one as if cleaned by the mighty one for us to ponder over his beautiful creations. I loved it when I used to go back home sometimes for lunch ( used to stay in CBD) while sea breeze used to come over from Darling Harbour in to the King Street and blow into my face..

Had the same feeling while cruising on amazing Ladakh roads riding on a Thunderbird.. searching for the monasteries in remote locations..The sky at night in Ladakh is just like the one which used to be there at the planetariums enthralling us in childhood as we looked at it as collections of different light bulbs....I saw at least 5 shooting stars within half an hour at 3.30 AM in the morning ..while looking at the sky with cold winds blowing from across the barren mountains making the experience surreal.. From what I saw on the Ladakh trip early this year my admiration for the Indian Army keeps on increasing.. They are the living examples of 'mind over matter' theory.. where they live ..we can't spend more than a few hours. My experience at Changla Pass was on the same lines.. people do not/ are not supposed to spend more than 15 -20 minutes on the pass due to the lack of oxygen and the chilly winds... however.. when I went through the pass this year.. 3-4 Sikh soldiers of Sikh LI were there since morning and from what I gathered they are 'posted' at Changla !!! What great fortitude !! Hats off and my salutes..
