Perhaps not enough of Laos for you dear Hemanth, but I did see quite a bit of this beautiful, peaceful country through your eyes :) When we all go to Laos, God willing, would definitely want to taste Roshan Bhai ka khana. With unexploded bombs still around, if those people are leading a calm and quite life, really something in their genes instilled by Buddhism ๐ Ending with a thathasthu for all your wishes to be fulfilled in future visits ๐๐
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Maya!
