When I came across an old copy of George Orwell's Homage to Cata-lonia, 1 developed an obsession with his merging of the personal and the political, the small details and the big ideas, his sparse, powerful prose. Homage to Catalonia brought back many memories of Kashmir and made me believe that writing similarly about my own war might be possible someday.

"Nehru and Gandhi studied law in England and were both very good writers. You have seen their books in our library. Václav Havel is a very big writer. The Dalai Lama has read a lot and can teach people many things. None of them used guns but they changed history. If you want to do something for Kashmir, I would say you should read."

The best story was about the magical Kalashnikov. Made in Russia, a gift from Pakistan, it was known to have powers greater than Aladdin's lamp.
