Just felt like redefining the memories I had during my trip
to Kashmir after reading on a kid’s story book Arion and the Dolphin: A Libretto
by Vikram Seth. Indulging into the depth of his
words just inspired me to j tantalize this post with the flows of emotions that
we went through during our trip.

 The golden triangle–Delhi

 High above bidding
goodbyes below and piercing into the bright blue skies we seek for the start of
an adventure that beholds

 Our fingers entwined
together to withhold our anxiety as we touch down to be greeted by a local whom
directed us into a car with a journey that would take us places.

 Behind the wheels
sat a man named yadhav whose words made us a traveler into his vision. The bump
and hump of the road gave us a thrill. Clutching on to my other half’s jacket
whenever the car took a step  much too
closer to the vehicle beside made me feel like a small girl hiding behind my
father for protection. As the sun set, we reached our destiny of jaipur and our
insight to excitement began

 Set amidst the picture-perfect
beauty of the rugged hills, it is not less charming in its majestic manner, we
were in amber fort. Built in red sand stone and
white marble, it completely overwhelms us, the honeymoon couple with the
delicate work of the artistic paradise that appeals to their aesthetic tastes
and is a visual delight to behold that lies at the heart of the fort surrounded
by the rugged and forbidding fortification walls that surround it.

 With another journey packed into
our bags of memories, we headed forward to Agra…the one I was looking forward
to

 The white castle in the air –
AGRA-taj mahal

 The Taj truly is… a
poem… It is not only a pure architectural type, but also a creation, which
satisfies the imagination, because its characteristic is Beauty. Did you ever
build a Castle in the Air? Here is one, brought down to earth, and fixed for
the wonder of ages; yet so light it seems, so airy, and when seen from a
distance, so like a fabric of mist and sunbeams, with its great dome soaring
up, a silvery bubble, about to burst in the sun, that, even after you have
touched it, and climbed to its summit, you almost doubt its reality. Without realizing
I went clicking away into my digital memory box, grasping every details that I could
get from this beauty which I was astound at

 Paradise on earth-
Kashmir Srinagar

 Prepared myself with
search of images of how Srinagar would look like, but it was never  like experiencing the culture and the beauty
in person.Mashallah….Thanks to our Rabb for the exotic sheer beauty in
nature of kashmir. Away from skyscrapers, away from heavy traffic…we were in a
world of our own, just me and my one and only.Just us away from it all. This is
one trip I would not forget because u were there with me, you made it beautiful.
Thank you dear. Would leave you with the photos we took in our journey to paradise.
Do I hear you?
