So the hour of Jagati Puchch or the Dev Sansad finally came and the Gods gave their verdict that Alfred Ford… Sorry… Amrish cannot build the ski village. Reports in media circles haven’t given any reasons – why the Gods objected to it.
A few years ago, I’d gone to Kiari village – one of [...]

So everyone is waiting today for the result of the Jagati Puchch – Will Alfred Brush Ford get an entry into the Kullu Valley and bring up the ski-village? The outcome may be decided soon, may be within hours or may be it’s in the process as I type this down. I can imagine [...]

The silence of the mountains veils mysteries that would fascinate humans till eternity. And for someone living in the shadows of these mighty mountains fascination generally turns into humble submission to the supernatural.

I always wondered how rumors spread and how myths originate. From word of mouth… obviously.
Then with the Internet age, it spreads even much faster, without any cross-checking. With easy access to knowledge, it is much easier
