GETTING LEH'D IN LADAKH

After toying with the idea of breakfast on the streets and deciding against it, I headed back to my hotel for my usual continental buffet breakfast. Leh was on my mind now. Time to catch a flight.

I had intended to spend ten days in Ladakh this time, which technically means eight days. The first two days have to be complete rest days, as one need to acclimatize to the reduced oxygen levels in Ladakh. Of late, I heard of many Ladakh stalwarts perish to Acute Mountain Sickness on arrival. So I am not taking any chances, I am going to sleep away to glory today. It is an amazing feeling to take yourself under a blanket without even a fan to cool you. It is late September and the wind especially after sunset can take the chill to your bones.

I was always inclined towards anything and everything creative so it was quite natural for me to work as an architect ever since graduation. I like designing spaces, turning them into living breathing homes, and growing offices. That’s the professional side of me.

A professional architect, a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, and an urban dweller of Mumbai- so many roles in one person, the last one taking its highest toll.

Upama Borkar, born and raised in Guwahati, now settled in Mumbai, is a graduate from Sir J.J. College of architecture and a YOGA addict.
