Rain and the unrest
We reached here on 24th June and while onboard,the flight captain announced that the temperature in kashmir is 15 degrees and its also raining....we landed and were welcomed by heavy down pour...and it has been raining since then day and night...people here have witnessed recent floods and everybody is tense since the water level in Sangam river has crossed the danger mark and the river Jehlum is rising too....my niece and nephew had been to school yesterday....it was a usual morning when we received a call from the school stating that the nearby Jehlum river is rising and school day has been called off....we rushed off to the schools to get the kids....there was an unrest all around...people were really scared....no body wants to undergo the same ordeal again....on our way back I got a glimpse of the Jehlum...it seemed to be just touching the danger mark!! I also happened to pass through the streets of once happening Rajbagh and Jawahar Nagar areas....that used to be buzzing with life and full of hustle and bustle but now all i could see was ruble and heaps of concrete! ! It was really heart breaking to see such a sight!! Floods here have left a disastrous impact and it will take a while for people to recover from it!!
All we can do for now is to pray for rain to stop and for little sunshine to instill some energy , some warmth in our damp spirits !!

83/365
Traveling to Kashmir....visiting your grandparents after almost an year!!
I was very anxious as to how our journey will be because now you don't want to sit at one place for too long and our flight will take almost 3 hours to land in kashmir but to my surprise it all went smoothly....you were in a joyful mood and relatively very calm!!
And when we finally reached it took you sometime to get comfy with folks back home...they tried few tricks...and it worked!!
