Early morning at a railway station

Early morning at a railway station

The light plays out in a fascinating manner in the early hours at a railway station. There is this constant light of tube lights on the platforms and the red signals. When a train arrives, the head lights of the locomotive seem to be stationary and they pick up speed when the train starts closing in piercing the darkness around and make the tracks shine. The lights in the coaches of the trains are the additional lights which play out and then the signal lights change to green and yellow. In a large railway station, this drama gets played out every few minutes till it is morning and the train lights are no longer needed. The drama of the light piercing the darkness has ended and a new day has begun.

Tabo monastery entrance

Tabo monastery entrance The feeling is of sheer awe when you are entering a structure which was established more than a thousand years ago and is in continuous operation. Visiting ruins dating back to few thousand years is one thing but entering Tabo monastery established in 996 was a different feeling altogether. Tabo is the oldest continuously operating Buddhist monastery in both India and the Himalayas . ( Spiti , 2013)

Yak cheese seller in Bhutan

Yak cheese seller in Bhutan We bought some  Yak  cheese ( I had heard much about it so had to try it ) from this sweet young lady who was managing a road side shop with her little one securely tied to her. These  Yak cheese  pieces turned out to be as hard as stone and it took me more than an hour of active salivation with rigorous activity of mouth muscles to extract the pleasure of this unique cheese.
