Himalayan Dreams

High in the Himalayan foothills lies Landour - on the outskirts of Mussoorie - and on the border of our minds.

The ever intrepid Philip B drove his mobike last week from Delhi to Mussoorie - and beyond. These are his pictures - but they are very close to our hearts.

The sheer beauty of the forest just takes your breath away.

While the human terrain is that strange admixture of the quaint...

....and the pungent.


The Landour cemetery - both quiet because of the death - whose memorials show where they were laid down - but also because of the sheer stillness of the huge deodars that bring with them the hush of greenery.


What makes Mussoorie the most special, however is our loved ones who are there. Stefan and Neeru - Ashish and baby-to-come just visited Mum and Premi during this week. Phil snapped this shot a couple of days ago while at the top of the hill with them.

Thanks Phil for continuing your journey - and weaving us into it.


Peace be on our biker friend!
