Boats and water, are made for each other. I love going into deep waters on a boat. We used to do a lot of that when Kashmir was still "heaven on earth" and Dal lake in Srinagar was brimming with boats, traditionally called "shikaraas". However, in the last 20 years, all that had become a thing of past. But now, fortunately, the Dal Lake, along with rest of the Valley, is returning to its past glory. The boats in your photograph, though stacked out of water, reminded me of the same old days, thanks for that Kris. And I am sure whatever you are trying to accomplish, you will definitely achieve. Just keep going... :-))
Yamini, it sounds like everyone needs to get off their bums and sort out the Kashmir situation. It sounds like a good place for a holiday, and EVERYBODY is missing out!
You bet Kris!!! It is such a nice place to go and spend time in. Fortunately, things have been turning towards a better end off late. But the uncertainty prevails even now. Personally, I wouldnt think twice before packing my bags and going there for a few days off (I did so after 14 years in 2004 and again 2 years ago) But I still find it difficult to recommend it to family and friends (though many are keen to go there). Kashmir, like this is a total waste of nature's best performance, alas!!!
