.... also known as Switzerland of the east because of its natural beauty and land of cherry blossoms and saffron fields, of sparkling rivers and serene lakes, of stunning gardens and stately chinar trees, of flowering meadows and snow-capped peaks....it's dangerous beauty can't be overestimated, the scenery is amazing. ..... yes!!! u got me right....m talking about KASHMIR....the most dangerous place on earth!!!
i as a child used to visit this summer capital n spent my most of the vacations there.....came to know it very closely.....overwhelmed by its vast beauty it wud not b wrong to mention dat if there is heaven on earth its right here... Kashmir is described variously as the paradise on earth, the dream-land, the choicest creation of God, etc. Jehanghir is said to have quoted the following Persian Sher in praise of Kashmir.
Gar Firdaus Bay Roo-e-Zernin-ast Hamin asto, Hamin asto, Hamin ast which means if there be any paradise on the earth; it is here, it is here, it is here!
leaving besides its beauty it is strongly under the constant threat of ultras....they say kashmir ek khoobsurat jail hai.....people living here (which includes me ofcourse although only for 4 years) cant enoy living in this paradise...the innocents leaving their nests to earn living in the morning are not even sure of returning back at night.....this is SAD but TRUE :( everyone is equally affected ranging from the child who is born to the old people.....all are under the black shadow of militancy....
i wish and pray dat may god bless this beautiful valley n its occupants so that they can soon come out of this gloom n once again this valley blooms with never ending giggles :) :)
