Two days on this Indian train. An exciting journey from New Delhi to Kerala. So many different people, old and young ones, talkative and silent people. Being busy with themselves or interested in getting to know others. The most touching picture I took with me was this flower garland. Someone fixed it to protect […]
There is this little smile, shy but secured because of the glass wall in-between. It is like her parents are protecting her fragile childhood. So, this little Indian girl can grow and ripe and getting prepared for the future. The glass wall will be disappearing more and more. She will get into contact […]
There are colors everywhere in India. I love it and I often find color combinations, which I had never dreamt of in Europe. Wherever I walk, I’d love to take pictures and catch those colors. They are smiling at your face and you cannot do anything but smiling too. Here in Europe, everything is […]
Children don’t need a lot. A hot noodle soup in a tiny Tibetan restaurant in India makes them more than happy. Back in Switzerland, it is much more difficult. There are so many more things. There is a school friend who has got his own iPhone; there is another friend who has his own […]
Green isn’t the color I like very much. But when I saw this lamp in India, I changed my mind. It doesn’t often happen that I change my mind. I like to stick to the things I am used to. Since years I keep this painted wooden elephant from India in my kitchen, the […]

Three weeks in India, four weeks back in Switzerland: four weeks of school, homework, getting up at times when one likes to sleep. Tough times. But there are all the memories of our traveling in India. Memories of rich experiences, of living two days in an Indian train, meeting so many different people, playing […]
Maybe this Indian boy hasn’t seen any Europeans before; maybe he is shy by nature. His father in his traditional dress took him to town to buy a few things. Which world will he be living in in 20 years? Will it be the modern India? Will he be doing the bookkeeping or will […]
Tibetan medicine was completely new to me. But as the Tibetan doctor had his location just one floor below to our Tibetan hotel, we didn’t hesitate to ask for an appointment. Little boy had a health problem, which could have easily turned into a big one without medication. The Tibetan doctor helped very quickly […]
Three years ago, Ramesh was selling his beautiful stone carved statues and buddhas. One year later, he was running a yoga school, and this year, besides giving his daily yoga classes, he is earning money with a little resort in a marvelous garden – together with a friend. For me, he symbolizes flexibility, […]
