Heaven's gate by pico iyer-- an unusually an underdeveloped paradise



hi inquisitive tech savvys, let's have a sojourn to heaven's gate in ladakh to be guided by pico iyer who has shared his experience with us about the journey. as we know, every journey to desired place is always an imagined romance until we reach the place and experience it.... naturally reality strikes us with the present status quo of the place... let's read between the lines of pico iyer whether he had experienced the imagined romance or not....


To present the analytic study of this chapter, i would like to make you aware of certain phrases in this chapter...

" yet what you find when you entered into imagined romance is always a reality" isn't it? i am sure you may have or you will experience if you have taken such tours to the distant places with lot of anticipation and expectations.



" compact, otherworldly and highly magical, ladakh is the latest secret treasure to dramatize all the paradoxes of civilization and its discontents". This statement is highly significant, though the transformation happened in the name of moderanity... still ladakh unusually has retained its traditional look.... the secret treasure to dramatize all the paradoxes of civilization and its discontents... have you ever been to this kind of place which has retained its traditonality despite the encroachment of modernity.
