Prayer!


PRAYER

Wish I could give you happiness,
Happiness veiled in the beauty of life.
Wish I could give you freedom,
Freedom to fly without wings.
Wish I could give you time,
A lifetime of heavenly bliss.
Wish I could fill your life with beauty,
Beauty of resplendent rainbows.
Wish I could give you strength,
Strength to accomplish all your inspirations.
Wish I could give your everything,
Everything that you’ve thought of.
But realizing the fact that
Just another creation of most merciful that I am,
All I have for you is a prayer,
A prayer to author of nature,
That he lavishes upon you his blessings.

My Pet-Bruzo


This is my Pet -Bruzo, 12 months old now. This is Labrador breed. The Labrador Retriever (also Labrador, or Lab for short) is one of several kinds of retrivers, a type of gun dog. They have webbed paws for swimming, useful when they retrieve their prey, hence why they are called retrievers. The Labrador, once known as the Lesser Newfoundland, is the most popular bree of dog. Labradors are very athletic: they love to swim, play catch/frisbee, and are great with young children. Bruzo enjoys a great rapport with my young son and both play with each other quite well.

Marraige in Kinnaur (Bride)







Very different experience. different food, indifferent clothing..




very rich culture.

Mountain peaks towering at 6,000 metres, 2,500 metres deep gorges that seem to touch the core of the earth, rocks and boulders eroded by torrential rivers and high speed winds that blow across the land. A land on which winter descends with fury, making temperatures dip to bone chilling figures below zero which turn gushing streams and rivers into solid masses of ice. Connected by NH-22, Kinnaur is sparsely populated. Villages are few and far between but in them live simple god-fearing, fun-loving people.


The arts and crafts of this land are an expression of this vibrant culture. The craftsman's hands create magic that transforms jade, silver and bronze into beautiful crockery and jewellery. The magic of his brush creates the thankas that adorn most of the Gompas. While his skill creates priceless wood carvings, like the ones in the famed temples. Marraiges have lot of music where people dance all through the night till morning.
