About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I am no longer accepting guests. I am currently running a small queer friendly homestay in Gangtok and you are more than welcome to book with me. Would love to host you in my homestay -

ABOUT ME

I was born in the high hills of the upper Himalayas. I love the mountains, watching films, travelling, music from the 80s and 90s, reading ( though I cant stand the dan brown variety of bestsellers!), dancing and meeting interesting, creative and intelligent people!

PHILOSOPHY

'Sometimes I have the feeling that we're in one room with two opposite doors and each of us holds the handle of one door, one of us flicks an eyelash and the other is already behind his door, and now the first one has but to utter a word and immediately the second one has closed the door behind him and can no longer be seen. He's sure to open the door again for it's a room which perhaps one cannot leave. If only the the first one were not precisely like the second, if he were calm, if he would only pretend not to look at the other, if he would slowly set the room in order as though it were a room like any other; but instead he does exactly the same like the other at his door, sometimes even both are behind the doors and the beautiful room is empty.'
- Franz Kafka in a letter to Milena Jesenska
