word 'kashmir', once upon a time used to bring images of mounatins, lakes, pink lotuses in Nigeen lake, early morning prayer at Temple in Haripharbat. Shankracharya temple looking at you from in the cloudy day. At Badamwari almond tree blossom in March. All are now images which i can recall but not see, not because i am about one thousand kilometers away from it but they all precious blessings have been killed.
K word now is Killing and not kashmir.I feel sad, when ever i read in newspaper that X number of People were killing in voilence.They may be locals, or Army personell.
There are now more orphanages in Kashmir, "Yateem trusts", as every year thousand sons and daughters of kashmir have to become custodians of the grave of there father.
Tulip garden may be largest tulip garden in Asia but can there red colors be more red than the blood which is shed every day on the roads, small lanes, near the blue mountains of the Heaven.who will apprecaite tulips when there is blood every where in kashmir.

Poem Titled " Nautch girls "
@ 2009-03-20 – 13:16:24
Nautch Girls
Kashmir ,
white Bangles of Nautch girls
Sea ,
Memories of mountains melting into it
Nautch girls
First exiles
Hangul , samovar , silver embroidered phiren
Hookah
Black bangles of Nautch girls
Nautch girls
Singing blues
Snow falling from their eyes
On the sea of Bombay
Red Bangles of Nautch girls
Snow-white feets
Dancing on the sea of wine
Veil hovering
Will it embrace?
Kashmir
Nautch girls
Last exiles.
