Nostalgia: Typewriter

Image
When I was growing up, typewriters were almost obsolete.  Almost.  I had to write a few school papers on a typewriter. This was the mid 80’s, and home computers were crazy expensive back then.  Nobody in my neighborhood had one.  So, whenever I had an assignment that couldn’t be handwritten, I had to drag the old Remington typewriter out of the basement.  The thing was built like a tank.  The internal mechanisms were housed inside a heavy gauge, olive drab steel shell. You didn’t want to commit the cardinal sin of making a typo on a typewritten paper.  Remember the rule: I before E except after C.  Except there are a lot of exceptions. The word  glacier  is one of them.

I haven’t thought about typewriters for almost three deca

The Land of High Passes: Ladakh

Ladakh  (“land of high passes”) is a region in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir that currently extends from the Kunlun mountain range to the main Great Himalayas to the south, inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent.  It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir and its culture and history are closely related to that of Tibet.  Ladakh is renowned for its remote mountain beauty and culture. Moonlit Nubra Valley Rock carvings found in many parts of Ladakh indicate that the area has been inhabited from Neolithic times. Ladakh’s earliest inhabitants consisted of a mixed Indo-Aryan population of  Mons  and  Dards , who find mention in the works of Herodotus, Nearchus, Megasthenes, Pliny,    Ptolemy, and the geographical lists of the Puranas.
