Wall-art in Mcleodganj

Spotted two places with wonderful wall paintings in Mceodganj this time around. One was a shop selling coffee, handicrafts and interesting crunchy blocks of cornflakes bathed in chocloate sauce.

The other a quaint tea and food place set in a garage of sorts, whose name I didn't notice or probabaly wasn't there. I was attracted to the art on its walls, and it was the most revelatory excited awe feeling to look up at its ceiling, to notice a map of Tibet or probably a way into the homeland, painted up there. That was my moment...another moment of nirvana. To sit in absolute silence sipping tea, admiring the ceiling and feeling the presence of two more individuals - a tibetan guy staring outside and a foreign lady deep in her book....each of us in our own spaces of mind.
