Kashmir

Traveling in Kashmir is a very special experience. The morning starts with kahwa and from your window you watch flower vendors passing by in their boats in the dal lake. Or you shop in the floating vegetable market.
In the afternoon you hear about the bomb explosions and news of death scars you. You feel frustrated with policies of Indian and Pakistani government and feel sorry for the people of Kashmir, some extremist meets you and makes you angry, you feel foolish to form any opinion. When you come back to the houseboat you are frustrated with your experience. But Dal Lake is a place which casts a magic spell of calmness on you, the stillness of the water takes away all the restlessness from you. Next day you hear the news that innocents has been killed by Indian Army…. 

No one knows what the future is? There is no single truth, only honest narratives of what lies in the depth of the past and millions of hopes for the future.
