They are flaunted before tourists as a part of Kashmiri culture, but how many Kashmiris actually treasure their jeweled traditions? analyses Shehla Rashid who asks, “are these remnants of a lost civilization, or lost elements of a civilization?”

the blog on home page was really nice.my thirst for books grew deep wn i set foot outside state.the first book i ever read was mother by maxim gorkhy from russian literature.had heard abt it a long long ago in conversation btwn to strangers.well u must be thinkin why on earth am i tellin this to you.i dont kno thr is a kinda connectivity. the story on ur blog says that u follow religion.but religion in spritual sense.thr r few ppl that i cm across r lyk u.u may not understand what i wish to convey. have u read paulo coehlo’s alph, piligrimage, by the river pedra i sat down & wept most of all witch of portobello..there is sweet enchantment which keeps me wondering
people think many times before reading scripture of any kind relating to other religion. you are otherwise so am i..will tell u one story i was reading the other day
i was sitting on a pavement near cannal..a man came knelt near cannal and drank water..while doing so his purse having all his savings fell off his pocket..then a came a child who also came to.drink water..he saw that purse picked it up and went away..then came an old man he also knelt down drank water..meanwhile a man who lost his purse thr came back..he asked the old man to give back him his purse..old man replied that he had none..what purse etc..thr was a long argument, fight, finally an old man was beaten to death.
i asked God why..why this unfair treatment..God said..you know not what i do..i see not what i see..i said i want to know..i find it as utter injustice..God said if u wish to know..i will tell you..everything happens for a reason..oldman who was killed..had killed father of that young man in past..and the money that was there in purse was stolen from the parents of the child once..now they were in need of same..it is a morality trial..one way or the otherway everything is connected..everything happens for a reason
i have submitted myself to the will of Allah..he knows the best..likewise i’m in quest for my purpose too..runing from pillar to post for now,changing from profession to profession,obsession to obsession..i have diverse interests..i want to be everything at the same time..in this same life
