Kaju and Chingoo
Chingoo has a great trust in humanity except, for the delivery guys. [For which he can be forgiven.] He used to take it upon himself to escort dog-friendly folk to their homes or on their walks. He learnt his lesson the hard way. He returned home one day, brutalised, the bone on his leg showing through the wound and two front teeth missing. Betrayed and all shook up, he wouldn’t leave my side for days. He became rather quiet. It took him a while to get over his fear of people. That’s when I decided ‘absolute’ freedom might not be such a great scheme in the long run.

I live in the foothills of the Himalaya and welcome you to a glimpse of my world. The landscape is never the same on any two days and I'd like to share its uniqueness: all the quirks & surprises the mountains dole out. Bird & animal behavior, flowers & bugs, sky & earth, people & their stories. You'll find them all here. Come. Grab your favourite cuppa and join me as I document wildlife through writing, podcasting, and photography.
