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 […]
Aren’t they wonderful? Three pieces of art. But what is art? When it hangs or stands in the museum? Or when it is exposed to the public in a school building? Being an artist is another discussion. Where does “being an artist” begin? When someone dresses, behaves like an artist? When someone creates an […]
It is a rainy day; school is off. The kids are playing, but not playing together; rehearsing a own play to invite their mothers to come and see. They close the shutters because there has to be special light. They organize popcorn and syrup. They write an invitation card for theirs mums; they even […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
I met her again: the 92 year-old Swiss lady Pia Steiner. She was still on the road on her own, and we had a nice India dinner and an even more interesting conversation together. I could hardly believe that she still didn’t have any other companion than herself during her stay in India […]
