Geologist? Sounds pretty cool… There was a time when I had wanted to be a geologist or an archaeologist myself..!!!!

Yeah. Being a geologist was pretty cool until i got stuck in a really boring job. I guess its hardest for a geologist to be confined in small place. 😉 We think in large scale and that’s why the world feels like a more appropriate home. 🙂

by work if you mean job, then i hate talking about it 😛 if you mean geology i guess some two years ago i last discussed about it passionately. right now all i do is, paint, write, make weird noises in my guitar and plan for my next travel 😀

Talking of the himalayas, i cant help but think of the fossils i saw in kaza..! it is rather unfortunate that i did not get to spot fossils out in the open in langza and hikkim, for want of time..!

That’s the sad part. I only went to sandakfu-phalut. Thats it. Though i worked on the Arunachal Himalayas for a project i missed my field work there not once but twice 😦 pure bad luck. But the good part is i still have the whole himalaya left to explore. Its kind of Mecca for me. 😄

Since you say fossils, i think you should head out to the spiti valley..! they say its a treasure trove of fossils..!

Hi Swarnali – just wandered around your stories. It’s very feminine, dreamish and uplifting. I also love to paint, but rather with crayons as with brush-colours I always make a mess, hehee. Nice goal you have, determining where you want to be is already a big step kin reaching reaching it.

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all site owners and bloggers
