Drinking Ara at Gangtey, Bhutan
The stay at Gangtey in Phobjikha valley was at a local house which belonged to Kelzang Dawa who is a wood carver and his hard working wife Killey Zam who manages the house with three sons and cooks meals for the guests. Amenities were basic but I parked myself in the large kitchen and dining area where I chatted with all the family members and played with kids while sipping homemade Ara, which is a local brew made from fermented wheat.

Chinese Shoe Shop at Shimla

Chinese Shoe Shop at Shimla Every hill station in north India seems to have The Mall Road and in every likelihood there will be a Chinese shoe shop. When I noticed this shop on The Mall at Shimla , could not resist peeping in. It did not look to be a very active shop, neither the owner seemed very friendly. (Shimla, 2011)

Goan house

Goan house Noticed this pretty house somewhere on the outskirts of Goa while driving. It was so charming that I had to stop by and take pictures. Climbed the steps to check in from close quarters but the closer view was not all that charming. Despite that, the impression of this house remains etched in my mind.
