From Shimla to Ladakh

Indian Army is a beautiful place to be in. They make you not just visit, but live in the most exotic places. So this August we were in luck once again. My husband got posted to exotic Eastern Ladakh, and we were overjoyed. This is our third posting to Ladakh, and we can't seem to get enough of it. The truth is that we are in love with Ladakh. It is the most beautiful place on Planet Earth. Moonscape! Yes, I believe this is how the surface of moon looks. Well, I don't really care about that. All I know is that no other place can boast of such a blue sky (the bluest of the blues) and such hues of mountains (all shades of browns, yellows and some reds). It is the most picturesque of all places. Each picture looks like a work of art.

I can't thank God (and the Indian Army) enough for bestowing such a fortune on us. I bow to the majesty of these mountain ranges, the perfect place for a recluse like me. I can feel the presence of God in the very air!

And I haven't yet told you about our very own private river, that flows right outside our hut.......

Until next time.........
