Hi there Pallavi, this is an interesting article . I visited Srinagar with friends at the end of our House officer posts, in 1975. One of our classmates served as a military doctor there during Kargil war . I would like revisit the place now !

Q: Why did I become a writer instead of an investment banker?!

A: Because you write beautifully and have your heart in the right place.

Haha, what a coincidence. My wife and I were in Kashmir a couple of weeks ago and Nadis was our preferred choice of accomodation in Srinagar. Unfortunately, they were booked out by the time we reached out. No thanks to Mr. Chicken Salami & gang!
