Sometimes one is stuck helplessly between autumn and winter: One does not want autumn to end, but one does not want to miss the beauties of winter either and I am one of them.
I was shooting for a book in 2021, which was initially planned for 2020. A few days back, I was talking to a very close friend from the highlands of Ladakh. without his help, it might not have been possible to explore the beauty of the highlands the way I have done so far in two decades. The image is dedicated to all my nomad friends who treated me as part of their family whenever I visited them and allowed me to experience their life without any hesitation.
That year’s winter is not like the real winter. I’ve been witnessing winter in Highland for two decades, and it’s becoming dull year by year. There is less snowfall, glaciers are melting, and there is no snowfall this year. I am really worried about those whose lives completely depend on good snowfall. Let’s pray together for good snowfall in the mountains. Global warming is a reality, and human greed is making it worse.
