An interesting article on life in Himalaya

Guys- It is so easy to put a page up on the web and then forget all about it..
I just saw a write up by Vinai Bhagirath (sihi 2002); it is interesting:

"In the morning, we ate khir and chappatis with khoya. The grandmother of the family was roasting salt to give to the buffalos. She said if the salt wasn't roasted, the buffaloes may catch cold/fall sick.

Please read the complete article- replete with such small, strange but insightful observations - made thru Canadian eyes..
