Travel Theme: Peaceful
When I saw this last week’s travel theme, ‘Peaceful’ the pictures that came to my mind were those taken in Ladakh. I know, I’ve done a lot of posts with a lot of pictures from that place but I just can’t seem to get over that place. The pictures that I post here are taken during our visit to the Diksit monastery. The route, and the place itself made you feel at peace- with the world and with your self.
The white sand desert of Nubra valley in Ladakh.
The monastery is built into the slope of a hill, hence the climb..
The giant statue of Buddha on the hill opposite to the monastery..
The monks’ quarters
The bells
In deep contemplation!!
The Buddha!!
P.S. have used some of these pictures in my earlier posts also but I thought they fit here just fine…
Weekly Photo Challenge: Sign Says
This week’s photo challenge is- sign says. My entry for the same has a little story behind it.
This was four years back. My Cardiologist (and not so old) husband suffered a heart attack. He was hospitalized and underwent an angioplasty. By God’s blessings and everyone’s prayers he returned home safe and sound. Those were some real traumatic days for the family.
Once he was home, friends, family, colleagues, all turned up to visit him. That was expected. What we also expected was that these people would come with serious faces and ask the same questions again and again. So my daughter and me decided to put up this sign on our door-
Needless to say, it worked perfectly. People came in laughing and smiling and we did not talk about the illness at all.
