LOSS..... and beyond by Saadiya Kochar





A few years ago I started traveling to Kashmir, for my personal reasons (check out the film for that). What was initially supposed to a book on Kashmir, became a movie, an exhibition, a yet to be released book and now this blog. What I have lost can never be regained but what Kashmir gave me was a strange kind of calm to deal with the  chaos in my life.
There is so much information one has gathered about Kashmir- about its language, its folklore and of course its people. I'm not a Kashmiri, so I guess I will always have the view of someone peeping through the window. So this is the view of a Peeping Tom. Sometimes, I guess a Peeping Tom notices  certain details of the house than the inhabitants themselves, fail to notice.
