Now a woman rooted in family, fulfilled by work, and yet staying sovereign.
Now a woman with calm eyes, settled storms, and a past that no longer chases me through new cities. This has been my best year so far in terms of my life, work, travel and for me :)

While shopping in Thimphu local market, I found the kids are incredibly cute and friendly. When I waved at them, a few kids, around 4 or 5 y old, even ran up and gave me a hug. No hawking on the streets, so you can leisurely shop and stroll.

Immersive Bhutan. P.S. I danced as well with the locals to learn the steps :)

I've not seen a single bike rider on Bhutan roads. Seems everyone owns a car. Also, it's fascinating that weekends are strictly followed. I'm loving the slow life.

Around 300 stairs to view Great Buddha Dordenma followed by spectacular wilderness at Takin Preserve; the expanse of Thimphu is simply breathtaking in a literal sense.

No honking, driving & crossing roads that works on mutual understanding of people, no traffic lights, cleanest roadways, crisp air, blue skies and friendly locals- That's Bhutan 🇧🇹 Heaven on Earth!

This is what happens when science and government policy aligns. I'm not even surprised with the news.
China has selected its first group of young researchers to receive funding for up to 15 years, in one of the longest research grants on offer to scientists globally go.nature.com/4z4Q3pw

Handcrafted sweets hampers so beautiful they are worth framing rather than devouring.

Your handwriting is your carving - imperfect, asymmetric, yet unique and beautiful.
