KASHMIR, INDIA



From Kurukshetra to Kashmir 

Today I want to write about my travel to Kashmir which was one of my dreams which came true so far…
It all started when some me and some of my friends did not go home in summer holidays in 2019. So we said now that we did not go to home we should go somewhere in india. And Kashmir was our best option. It is a long way from kurukshetra to Kashmir so we wanted to travel by flight so we booked the tickets but we booked it for after month, we had a month before to travel to Kashmir. Then we decided to go somewhere  near around and unexpectedly we travelled to Nainital, but that is a story for some other time. We were a group of four people Ali, Riza, john and me.

         After long days of waiting finally our day of journey had arrived at 22nd July. It was Monday we went to new Delhi with a taxi. It was around 10AM we reached to Indra ghandi international airport terminal 3. Out flight was at 11:50 AM, so we after passing all check points we waited in waiting hall, of course we took some photos with our DSLRs inside airport. At 11:30 AM our flight had announced and at 11:55AM we took off. After almost one and a half hour of flight it landed at Srinagar airport, by the way srinagar’s view from plane was amazing, I kept watching and enjoying the view.
         We came out of airport, took a cap and went to new dale leak to take a hotel. We had  gotten some information that around dale lake we can find good hotels with  reasonable price. After some search we found a good room with only 700RS/night. It was not a hotel to be honest it was a house from a school teacher but was really good that guy was so nice and helpful to us. We put our bags room, refreshed ourselves and left to see the beautiful city of Srinagar.
        Obviously we all were starving so we went to a hotel to have lunch, then we went to Shalimar garden one the best places to visit in Srinagar. It was a wonderful place, very beautiful with a lot of pretty local girls who had come for picnic. We spent two hours there roaming around and seeing its beautiful views and also we took lots of photos.
        From Shalimar garden we went to another garden which was pretty good with its unique structure. When we were there a kashmiri guy came to us and started conversation with us. We did not tell him that all four of us were from Afghanistan, Ali was the one who introduced us, he told the guy that he himself is from Iran, john is from Bhutan, riza is from nipal and I from Uzbekistan. We talked to him like an hour it was a very pleasant conversation, then his friend came along and he introduced us to his friend Monir ali whose brother was about marry an Iranian girl that is why he and Ali hit it off. Because monir ali’s whole family was about to travel to iran just a month later and obviously he was looking  for some kind of help of from ali. They told  us if we need anything we should tell them, they would be glad to be able to help us. It was late evening so we did good  byes and left for our room near dale lake.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini

 And the Mountains Echoed by Khalid Husseini  This one is the third book from Khalid Husseini which I have read, and the second one which I finished completely. This is a story about love, loyalty, and compassion sacrifice. It is very different than the previous two of his book in which he focuses on the main characters but in this one, you won't have the same experience. Just when you think you are getting connected deeply with a character; it ends. And the story starts to be someone entirely different with a bit of connection with the previous character.          When it starts you would think it is about Abdullah and his little sister Pari; which quite of portion it really is about. But then another chapter starts and a new character rises and a new story beings. In short, you won't get attached to a single character.        I was a little bit disappointed because it was nothing I had expected I mean Khalid Husseini always writes...

First blog

My first blog.....!  As a guy grew up in a non English speaking country, far away from all English deals and stuff had hoped that after leaving  native country and going to  a foreign one where they teach in English would probably be fluent in speaking this precious language.  My first step was to go to turkey for my bachelor from where I could easily could be accepted in UK's Universities for my master's.  During high school I gave my hundred percent and did all i could do to prepare myself for National Exam of my homeland after 12, well I had done in that pretty well and I had scored really well 342.766 out of 360 got the first position in my province. still i remember that morning when my best friend samim called me from my hometown to tell me about result, i was living with my sister in her house in kabul after Exam for a change, so he told me that we both had been accepted to our favorite university, Kabul university the best in the country in civi...

And Yet the Life Goes On

And Yet the Life Goes On I have been meaning to write for the last couple of months, but I never got the chance to do so. there is a lot of stuff I want to write about and I honestly do not know where to begin. Nevertheless, I am going to have to begin from somewhere, so here it is: In the last five months while I was working for Save the Children International, a lot of things happened. I got to meet with a lot of good and useful people; I had so much fun working with the FSL team in Andkhoy District of Faryab Province; I found so many good friends; I earned some money and I saved some for my higher education; I fell in love with a beautiful girl and got my heart broken by her; I traveled a lot and got to visit places that I had never before; I learned a lot of things from my supervisor M Alem Abrar, the kindest and the sweetest person in the world and at the end, I left it before even my contract was over.  Now I am with International Medical Corps in a new city far away from hom...
