Steamed bun or Theemok; vegetable spinach cheese momos were the highlights of our lunch at the Tibetian Wak Kitchen in the market area; which is a very humble place with basic interiors.
We stopped for lunch at Khalsar on our way to Nubra Valley; a lunch which is better forgotten about than written. We accept that one can’t ask for non-veg food anywhere out of Leh, but the vegetarian dishes can taste nice too!! This was not the case at Khalsar.

Stunning Ladakh …Pic: Neeta Kiran (co traveler)
My first trip to Ladakh happened in August 2012. It was a week long trip; albeit in retrospect I feel a few additional days would have been good for the plain reason that the beauty of Pangong Tso called for more time and shopping in the Leh market, which has lots to offer, also needs a few hours of dedicated time. I went with a group of 17 GALS through a trip organized by BucketList Travel Company.
What we covered:
Rafting on the Indus River

Known as the jewel of Gujarat’s ecological resources GIR National Park was our destination for a family vacation. Thirteen of us decided to pack our bags and head towards GIR, one of the big sanctuaries with the major big-cat concentrations in India. We were traveling from Chennai and so chose to break our flight journey at Mumbai and catch up with our friends and relatives before resuming our journey the next day by train. The train journey from Mumbai to Rajkot was around 14 hours. We found the jeep sent by Club Mahindra Resort waiting for us at the station and thus our journey into the world of jungle begun

In today’s world of speed and convinces, traveling at ones own schedule, is a luxury, that very few of us can avail of, even though many amongst us could afford to do so.
Imagine, how easy life would get easy without having to spend hours in checking-in, at security lines, or waiting for connecting flights or worse, endlessly waiting for your luggage at the conveyor belt? Imagine the feeling when you get the freedom to decide your flight time as per your convenience, and not as per rest of the world! Bliss!

Manx Missile fires as usual on Champs-Elysees
Just as I had predicted in my last post,Mark Cavendish of Team Sky won the last stage of this year’s tour on the Paris Champs-Élysées in his inevitable style, repeating the final sprint, just like what he had done in last three years!! In the bargain, he also became the first ever Road Race World Champion to win on the Paris Champs-Élysées. (Me thinks, he will make it to the Olympics Gold Medal also)
