A Dream that came true.

Ever since I knew that India had a place like Kashmir, I always had dream to go there. I was six years old when my dad told me about this region and that time I came to know a state called Kashmir. Today after thirteen years I could finally visit my dream land, which was really like a dream come true. Kashmir was always my dream land, no reason why but something attaches me it pulls me always. I have gone to beautiful places in east India and south India but still Kashmir’s beauty pulled me, its Sarine beauty, its calmness midst all the tensions, the beauty of the gardens, monuments, lakes, temple which prevails there always makes me love it more and more . Even with curfews and police around it really looks the most beautiful place. Trust on my words once you visit you can never compare it with any other state. Even the smallest Chinar leaf has so many things to say. India has so many places to visit but why only Kashmir? Whenever I hear this name a smile comes on my face. I feel as if this is the only place which gives me happiness, calmness, peacefulness and enjoyment. As many times I go I can never get bored of this place. Every time I see anything in Kashmir it is different from what I saw last time. I flew from Bangalore to Kashmir from the flight I saw mountains covered with white carpet. At the age of six when I had no clue about war, terror I always dreamt of having a house in Kashmir, which will be covered with snow all the time. There not even a single thing which I hate about Kashmir, everything is so adorable.
As soon as I landed on my dream land, I looked around the birds, the clear sky and they all were happily welcoming me. Although all were same creature but all had different things to say. The sound itself of the bird used to get thrill in my mood. My first foot on the ground made me realize how lucky I was to be here, a feeling which can never be penned down. Kashmir itself is a brave state and so are the people. The forces which protect them are bravest of all and so is my dad. We took our convey and went to Manasbal where my dad was posted, it was such a beautiful experience, with huge houses, apple trees, bullet proof vehicles, weapons. I stayed there for 20 days and each day was an amazing experience. Beautiful girls, amazing art, extraordinary embroideries and what not, this place have so much with it, although it is the most dangerous state still it’s most beautiful one. I went to Sonamarg and Thajiwas Glacier played with snow and enjoyed every moment as this was last minute of my life. I went to many places and finally to the highest tourist place in Asia Gulmarg also called "Meadow of Flowers". Visiting all these places is really like a dream come true.
Every day was special and had special memories; each day was like gift of god for me.
