Saiyami Kher Instagram – Work brought me back to this place I love so much after 5 long years. So many memories came rushing back because I shot my first film Mirzya here. During shoot I was so overwhelmed and humbled by the vastness around me that I’d sit for hours looking into mountains, absorbing everything. It’s almost as though the silence was talking to me. Like it was telling me that there was something so much larger than me at play. I didn’t know what it was..But whoever or whatever it was, there was something transcendent about this place. The air here is just as pure as its people. 3 days ago when we were driving back from Tsomoriri, the road forked into two paths. Unable to decipher which one to take, we went right. After driving for nearly fifteen minutes, we realized that the path led nowhere. So we backtracked and 30 mins later we were back on the correct road. Out of nowhere, our driver, Dorjayji jumped out of the car and walked to the wrong turn. In the blazing sun, he picked up three humangous rocks and blocked that road completely. Smiling, he came back into the car and stated, “Humarey jaise koi aur bhatak nahi jayega abhi.” With no vanity attached, he effortlessly just saved others after us the trouble of losing their way! It made me think for a moment. Maybe, it’s just simple people like Dorjay doing simple things that we often forget in our “busy” lives which makes this place so pure. To the place where peoples’ hearts are just as big & gracious as the mountains, thank you! See you soon Ladakh. ❤️
