Panner Dam Tral

These two men were deep in conversation and I couldn’t help but watch them from a distance. One of them asked me if I wanted to join them and how could I have declined such an offer.
The next hour was spent talking and listening to these men about Kashmir, family values and old times.
Our elders have so much wisdom to share, we could learn so much from them, if only we are patient enough to sit and listen to them.
Seeing them like this made me so happy. I feel this picture is more than just a picture, it has perhaps captured the resilience of Kashmiris, no matter what has happened or is happening, no matter how many times the situation brings us down, after all these years of violence and conflict, we have not forgotten to LIVE.
Seeing these two reminded me of what Khalil Gibran said, "In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed." .
