Visiting Srinagar.......
After 27 Years, in the Valley once again
.............For us,
Srinagar is a place of knowledge and education and has a very special place in our hearts.What we are today because of our institution and the place where we graduated.
During all these passing years (more than two and a half decades) we were always attached to the place so much that whenever a news related to Srinagar kept appearing in print or digital media we get to be very attentive and was painful to visualize what happened.
We too were getting affected with each of the unpleasant incidents which had happened there and was reminding us our time in Srinagar when it was so peaceful and friendly.We can imagine how our friends would have been struggled to survive in the valley during all these years.
Always worried for the where about of our batch mates whose memories were fading away with each passing months,years and even decades.
During the last two and half decades,the time kept us so busy that we never found times to look back and connect to our friends who disappeared after getting degree from the college in 1989.Each one of us were struggling for not less than 5 years after the college then settled slowly & slowly.Few of our batch mates do meet in these passing years but then no one had any clue during the period while the state was going through.
Technology help us a lot in finding our missing link.Earlier ORKUT but not of much help but after 2009 on wards the role of FACEBOOK is very important as we start finding our friends over there and a link was created.
May 24 & 25,2015 was a great day in our lives when we met through the technology(Whatsapp) and hoping to meet soon in person.
I had the privilege to be in the valley and hence i tried to visit the places where we usually keep roaming around the city during our stay in 1984 till 1988 we graduated from the institute.
Just to remind & visit the down town the city of paradise and going down the memory lane;here under few of scenic view of valley are :-
