Episode 2...


THIS ONE GOES OUT TO MY LONE READER... MR Suri.. aka laindi photographer
2500 bucks and a brand new TAVERA... was what it took for us to get a cab to pursue the travel to Srinagar.
Trust me the journey was worth every single rupee we spent. Counting the stops...Omlette n Pakoda at Nandani, Patisa n BACARDI COKE In Kud, Rajmah Chawal in Peerah...Ah mnouth watering experience...
Not to miss...Suri clicked some 138752 pictures enroute to Srinagar. I have about six of them.LOL... The travel was pleasent as we are going zig zag towards the valley...The driver saam kept reminding us that all wasn't well in the valley.
But singing, "Man mein hai vishwas, poora hai vishwaas", we kept inching towards glory. And it wasn't before we reached Pantha Chowk that we figured out...All was actually not well. The serenity was comendable but the empty streets and shut shops were saying a lot.
Next stop...Bhalla Roadways aka Chachu's office.. Where we change cars... safety purpose... as in Underworlld hindi flick... Ten more minutes and we are at my place... nice & Cozy & SAFE.
The day ended with our introduction to wazwan.. the authentic kashmiri food..
Please stay tuned for the next episode.... Pari Mahal, DAl LAke, Tujji, Pahalgam, rain and a lot of cold winds... Til then from all of us here at Radio Kashmir...Take Care
