Jigmet Lamo
Like Angmo, it was my first trip outside Ladakh. I was nervous about my first flight. It was like a dream for me, it still is and always will be. I went all the way to Kutch. I never went to school but there I saw that educated people were weaving. It was interesting to see that it was a generational business and that it was a family ownership. They had a deep sense of carrying on the legacy of their forefathers. It was also fascinating that more men than women were doing the weaving.
I was the happiest when I saw a herder taking his flock of sheep while we were in Kutch. I never imagined that there were nomads in other parts of the world as well. This trip made me realise the joy of travelling and learning through it. Now, I hope in the future I would be able to travel to more in the future.
