Sojourn in Sub-Zero

By Vasanth Gopalakrishnan

When life offers you a chance to get on an adventure, just grab it with both hands. That’s what Sumathy and Vasanth, a run-of-the-mill Delhi couple did, when they bumped into an opportunity to visit Ladakh during winter.
Ladakh is a different place during winters. This is the story of the eight beautiful days that they spent in Leh. Follow this metropolitan couple, who rough it out as they travel in extreme sub-zero conditions of Ladakh and witness the local life and its idiosyncrasies. The Eureka moments happen almost at the drop of a hat. Be it waiting for the TV to warm up before the audio is on, heating up a frozen fuel pipe using kerosene stove or pouring hot tea inside the radiator to melt the frozen diesel. But there is more to it than this quirky side, as they also experience life over the edge…
