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.

After a long time...

After a long time... It's been almost a month since I wrote something. Since then I do not think I have any posts. On June 25 the library stopped issuing books and since then I am stuck with my computer and myself. So far I have some Tv shows; some of them were incredibly interesting. But my favorite was The Blacklist.           I have been waiting for the final results to arrive since I don't know how long. A few days earlier the results of the eighth semester arrived. My CGP in it unbelievably was good or at least what I think it is. It was 7.58; FYI I have never had any CGP as high as this one. So obviously I was thrilled to see the results. But unfortunately, that was all that came. I have some re-appears whose results haven't arrived yet. I am impatiently waiting for them. After it will be clear when I will be leaving India. My visa will expire on 30th July so technically I have only another 18 days to stay here. After that my room will be taken away f...

WISH I COULD TELL YOU by Dorjoy Datta

Wish_I_Could_Tell_You_by_Durjoy_Datta      This is my sixth Novel from Durjoy Datta, I started reading it almost two weeks ago. Then I started my next book "The forty rules of love" by Elif Shafak, I thought it would be more fun if I study both of simultaneously like a couple of pages from one and a couple of topics from other. But before I know it I finished  it completely. It was such an incredible story that I almost forgot the passing of time. I am not sure I had read even 5 pages of this when I was reading the earlier one.         So far I am in page 114/250. It is very shallow in compare to "The Forty Rules of Love". I hate the way these Indian novelist write English, Specially names and using entirely Hindi words in some places. It is super annoying. It did not bother me much in the past when I read a dozens of their Novels but now I guess it does. The best thing for me to do would be to stop reading entirely Novels wr...

I am Still Here

  Frankly, I never thought I would be in Afghanistan even after three years of college graduation. By now I thought I'd be somewhere far off but sadly I am still here. I am not sure when I'd be able to leave. I am afraid if I stayed here for long I might not wanna leave. Plus I am getting older by each year. There is the matter of marriage also. I am not sure how much longer I can keep postponing it. I am not worried so much about the marriage though, still, it seems like I should start thinking about it. But then again marriage can wait but education can't.  I am thinking of starting my higher education online. With the Taliban and their unpredictable rules, getting a passport to travel abroad is not guaranteed. So online education is my only way forward. I am thinking of settling down here; if only I could find the right person. Marriage is a very tricky business, there is no margin for error. For now, I can start my online studies and after a year or two when I am close ...
