Chinar --The fire within

I come from a place where we see Chinar trees, Bouin is the local name. this tree is full of fire look at the pic u see it look like a huge fire. this represents what a kashmiris are all about. We have great strength we can cover a large ground and have the fire with in.

Iqbal once said about Kashmir. "Jis Khaak ki zamir mein ho aatishay chinar. Mumkin nahi ki sard ho us khaak ki argumand."

But deep some where i feel we Kashmiris have lost it.

We cant keep up with burden of history this fast ruthless world will make history out of us. Still we die like as we are non existent, we cant afford it any more, to be relevant in present world we need to be strong within intellectually, economically, ideologically.

This is just a start to the series of posts which keep coming to my mind every now and then but still i behave as helpless and do nothing bout it.

It is our Kashmir we need to make it more relevent to world and ourselves so that we dont feel led down infront of generation to come.
