You’re a research scholar, art conservator, co-founder of Empire Tours Ladakh, and an ice hockey player. What role, would you say, describes you best?
It’s a mix of different things. My hockey journey started at a very young age, when I used to play on a small pond in my village [in Ladakh]. The Indian women’s ice hockey team was founded in 2016. However, ice hockey is a seasonal sport and we depend on natural ice—which is available for just two-and-a-half), my conservation practice. Since Ladakh is a tourist destination, my brother and I co-founded Empire Tours Ladakh (). He runs it full-time, but I help out.
