Kashmir

I went to Kashmir last month. And nothing, absolutely nothing, can match the beauty I have had the good fortune to witness over those ten days there. Kashmir is indeed heaven and everything they say.

Roark, during his trial, had just submitted a few snaps of his Temple of Human Spirit in his defence. Instead of waxing eloquent about an experience which words cannot suffice to describe, I’ll do likewise. (Especially the 2nd one is breathtaking.)
And just one thing. Kashmir is extremely safe. We were there during the elections. And nothing untoward happened. Kashmiris are the sweetest and most hospitable people I have come across. And yes girls, most of them Kashmiris look as good as Omar Abdullah 

PS: U can view them all at my flickr account.

Rewinding

I was just rereading all my old blogs today. It brought back a lot of lovely memories. My still favourite blog on Sonia and Manmohan (Ramblings on the Indian elections) brings me a huge smile even today. My frustration at no one reading my Bond blog.. sigh..I thought it was fantastic, still do. My initial juvenile blog o Floyd - they deserve much better. Mittal’s mettle- which I wrote in great fervour in 10 minutes after seeing his interview with Barkha during the entire controversy. Sonia Resigns, which I think is one of my most original and newsprint worthy blogs; it made my day when a tough critic like Natasha messaged me saying she liked it. Munich…Shaun loved it..need I say more!! Then ofcourse the YFE phase and reservations took up all the blogspace. Knowledge and power – somehow it got lost into oblivion, but did I feel proud when I saw a very similar article by Rajdeep almost 5-6 months after I had blogged it!! Afzal – which made Lax send a very long and senti mail to me. TZP and Guru, which I consider amongst my best. And I loved my last blog on Congress – I had a hint that it was very popular sentiment that I was expressing when I wrote it.

I wonder if KK and Kuheli and everyone also reread their blogs? (I am sure Shaun doesn’t). You must do it guys..its great fun.
