Very simply written short stories about the author’s life in J&K. These stories were like a balm for my weary soul and made me feel connected to the land of my ancestors.
The author- who is an an accomplished educator based out of J&K, talks about incidents in her life that shaped her- it’s like an ode to her friends, teachers and even strangers who have supported her.
They made me reflect and even research more. I also liked the fact that she hasn’t demonized Kahsmiri muslims in her narrative which so many of books/ accounts written on the life of Kashmiri Pandits do.
These stories were such a profound and nuanced take on how we are all connected as humans first and if we could only see beyond the divide of religion, and help out one another, go back to our roots to live life as honestly as we can- achieving greatness in life will follow through.
