When I saw myself in the mirror brushing my teeth after
two days of not, I realized I had so much of food without it that I felt that I
should and I looked good. A sudden glow on my face said I was enjoying the food
but I had to see more than what just met the eye. The whole experience of me
living it up in Kashmir started with money problems that I had to face when I
lost my mother because of a murderous disease like cancer. I lost her that was
enough of loss that I had to bear and I needed a change .I started working at a
company at Nariman Point and decided to leave that place after I lost all my
money travelling. I had a loan of more than 3.00 lacs on my head and I knew
survival in Mumbai would eat my strength away and I would be left with nothing
at all. So that day I decided I shall sell my mother's gold that was left in
the cupboard , a few rings and a few bangles and leave this city for a year
where I could rent a place and live a
life where money is not the concern I have every day and my senses would
function for survival.
I didn't choose this place but I felt that someone was
calling me here as if everyone wanted me here. Psychic as it might sound but I
never wanted to go to any place except Kashmir. I didn't have a plan like
always. But I decided on the place when I called a person living in Srinagar to
know about the rent system here. No deposit system and monthly rent only a Rs
9000/-. I knew I would survive and
decided on an impulse to book my ticket to Srinagar. I even booked a houseboat
for two days to decide there if I shall be living here for a year or more or
less...
