Khanabadosh - A beautiful Sufi word meaning one who carries his house on his shoulders. One who doesn't get rooted, his feet does not get planted.
Mirza Ghalib said 'Sair Kar Duniya ki Ghalib, Yeh Zindgani Fir Kahan....Zindgani Rahi Bhi Agar ... Yeh Naujawani Fir Kahan...

FW: Rode to heaven ... Through hell-Day 9

We get up fresh and head towards pangong tso, a 125 kilometers long saltwater lake in the himalayas which spreads from India to Tibet to China. It is a clear symbol of natures craftmanship.

Virgin crystal blue water like a veil on a gorgeous fairy's face, with clouds hanging in sky like small angels of the fairy, tall mountains guard the fairy from everyone and slowly the lover sun, fighting against the mountains, starts slowly to gaze at the fairy's face, sun's rays hit the surface and reflect and the fairy as if blushing and shying from the sun's rays the changes colours from orange in early morning to greenish turquoize to deep blue and then for a few hours they remain as one, as a witness to this eternal love a seagull flies past and sits and pecks at a stone on the bank.
Again, no amount of words can describe the beauty of this lake.
We spend a few hours at the lakeside and drive back to Leh and spend the night here.
At night I wonder how the lake would look like on a full moon night and resolve to spend a night next year at the lake. I am sure fairies descend at night here and dance and make merry.
