but it rained...

Yeah! We shot the video.
We shot it down.
And now that we're done with her 'tis your turn ...
to see it ... y'know !!

So AFTER ye've read the story, heard our song, seen the video - however small, click by on the MAKING of it all to fathom why and how we climbed 15,000 feet above our then sane heads. This could well serve as a guide to the ROCKy Spiti Valley in the Himalayas for some, or a pointer on how to manage a 50 strong crew over a 1000 kilometers of himalayas in 9 days and still produce 5 shooting days. Surf the menu for more details ...

But MOST IMPORTANTLY, here are the good great people who in thier various capacities were a part of this opus and hereby get this great grand T H A N K Y O U from us the parikrama.

NOT in alphabetic sequence ....
