The second snowfall of the year

Kashmir woke up yesterday covered with white velvet blanket. I stepped out and met a few people including a group of playful kids. In no time I realized a fact that a lot of people including me, like snow. A few find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.

And I also saw this little chap (image below) facing its first winter playfully. He was thrilled to be part of the nature's opera.

Kashmir: it is all about a bulb!

The unfortunate story of Kashmir. As my twitter friend Afaq (@afaq_bacha) says "These incandescent bulbs are a thing of past and for good reason too. A relic and an easily avoidable drain on our meagre energy resources."

The Dusk

Kashmiri shikarawalas (boatmen) returning home after a busy working day. They survive on these waters and cannot think beyond these mesmerizing water bodies of Kashmir. The Dal offers them livelihood and they bring Dal alive.

I think about you

The only thing that I can do for you is to think about you. I can think about your future for what you have been doing to the nature for ages. I can only think about your fate that is eminent. 

Dear humans, be in peace.

Children of our times

Dear angels, you have been tortured, mistreated and humiliated. We saw many of you not being treated with the respect and dignity a free soul deserves; but instead subjected to violence midst conflict. 

As tender as spring buds, you have the light in you to illuminate our way forward in these dark times. You are the only hope for freedom, justice and peace. 

As Kofi Annan rightly said, "There is no trust more Sacred than the one the world holds with children.”

Peace amid the storm

Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.

Change

As I shuffle down the path leading through the park and as the days grow shorter now and soon it will be dark. 

I realize that life is like the seasons we live through, Life is like the changing seasons always changing too.

Only then we realize that life has changed so fast and only then we realize that nothing ever last.

Life goes through the seasons as the years accumulate, Many times we long for summer when it is too late.
