    1. hahah! I know.. Some of them are even mere dreams :p They are good reminders anyway.

      OH MY GOD! You have been to Leh Ladakh..tell me more about it? How long ago was that? I'm surely going there one day! The only thing stopping me is the timing. June-July is the best time to head there and they are like the hottest months back home...Indian summers at peak! Add to that Day long powercuts :( No body goes back home in that month. For the sake of Leh..I will do it once for sure!
