The last Shangri-La, Bhutan. The country is taking its first very hesitant steps into democracy. The monarch recently dragged the country kicking and screaming into the 20th century - they will continue to be in a bit of a time warp, even with democracy and the advent of television. The people are not sure democracy is a good thing, and the recent changes have left them uneasy. They worry that their way of life is being threatened. After all, government policy has been guided by Gross National Happiness for the last century or so.
Props to Current TV and Christof Putzel for doing this piece.
I'm hopefully back after the unintentional blogging break. The last month has been busy work-wise, but also S and I have been looking for a new place to live. Happily, we have now found said place, but the always untantalizing task of moving still remains.

Oh!! Cool!!!
Congrats on ur forthcoming wedding.
Really happy for you. Do we get to read about S in this blog? And possibly a photo? Does he have a blog too?
@anon
Thanks. Photos are unlikely to happen on this blog. On the other hand, you're welcome to browse around some joint projects we're launching. More goodies to feed your reading habit - to be announced within a week. Stay tuned...
By the way, we're all friends here. Don't really need that cloak of anonymity, do you? :)
Since your blog permits anonymity, I thought that was ok.. :)
Let me think of a name...hmm.. how about Siva.. starts with S too.. :)
By the way, I read your blog for your travelogues... they are awesome... doesn't mean rest of the stuff are bad..:)
