Paradise Halved
Kashmir Valley, 2011
“Agar firdaus bar roo-e zameen ast,
Hameen ast-o hameen ast-o hameen ast.”Translation:
"If there is a paradise on earth,
It is this, it is this, it is this.”
Truthfully, my initial fascination with Kashmir stemmed from the fact that I was convinced it was the most beautiful place on earth. Many of my childhood years were spent watching Bollywood movies set in Kashmir and marveling at the lush greenery, rugged terrain, snow-capped mountain ranges, crystalline lakes and fields of saffron and wildflowers. It had to be, in my mind, the closest thing to paradise on earth.
