Not before May (and not too early in the month even then) .

Edit : written simultaneously (but a lot slower) as volga.

i would advise anyone going to Srinagar to get a thorough medical and head check - have you seen the papers!!?

but I am not saying that I am sane (as in "full of common sense" that's too common)... let me be my own judge whether I need a head check or not.

and, to answer your question, i have been reading Indian papers every morning for the last six weeks.

Have you not been to Srinagar earlier also. I remember finding a lot of interesting info from your previous posts.

Those who are planning to visit Kashmir recently, please be prepare for heavy rainfall and snowfall at Gulmarg. One of my friends just came back yesterday and according to him the political situation and terrorist activity is not something special (Kashmir standard).
He said that Jammu-Srinagar highway (between Patnitop and Srinagar) was closed for a few hours due to heavy rainfall. But thanks to Indian army, their prompted action made everything normal.

I am looking forward to see your Kashmir Pictures, Volga. Happy journey.
