Author’s Note: Coming back to Prabirpurkayastha’s cache of brilliance is a good way to stay inspired. I do it under certain circumstances and find them useful to coin some poetry around them too, where he is kind enough to lend me some of this exquisite creations.

It’s Ladakh because it’s heaven on earth, a journey worth taking for life long of remembrance. And who better than Prabir Purkayastha (da) ( that’s how we call him) to extract the magnificence out of the rugged where the sky meets the earth in most auspicious moments.

You can take a look at his website (provided above)and find out why he is a world renowned photographer in his own rights.

Thank you Pierre Trudel Jenny Justice Tapan Avasthi Heidi Franklin and American Haiku for publishing my poems.
