The Peak
Kiran was raised in an island nation within an Indian family. She later pursued higher education in the United States and built a career before moving to Hong Kong in the mid-2000s. Hong Kong was meant to be a temporary stop, but became home after she met her partner. Over the past two decades, she has continued working in Hong Kong while navigating the challenges of language, race, and cultural integration.
The Peak Lookout
“I used to come here on Saturdays and Sundays in the early hours of the morning”
“I like my English breakfast, I would love my eggs, a toast would be great”
Feeling of Home
“I did find a little [birth country] in Hong Kong, and I really like it... I mean some of the trees here, the banyan tree, we have a lot of banyan trees [back home]”
Lions Pavilion
I went there and stood there watching them [women doing Tai chi exercises], and I was like "okay let's try", and then Tai chi ladies were like "okay, hold on, let me teach you."
“That's why I used to love coming up here also, because they would sit and chat with me”
Greenery of The Peak
“This is the place I called home in Hong Kong”
Outside The Peak Tower
“I come and sit down here, and basically which was nothing here, it was just green grass.”
Softee Ice-cream
“Always used to be an ice cream person here, you know, get an ice cream would be really nice, especially on hot sunny days in the morning”
