Jhelums call - Flood in Kashmir
Jhelum’s cry:
One more scream of nature, this time again it’s a call of the river...Cry of Jhelum, one more test of courage of Kashmiri people. They have stood unitedly in past against at all the odds and it’s a repetition of performance of same gesture but this time against this natural calamity.* How strong a human can be against Mother Nature?
* was that the power flood water came from the clouds?
No, the flood which demonstrated the damage was not caused by the dazzling drops, the rain, but here I put my visualization in different manner, it’s the flood of rally of drops which came out from the eyes of each & every individual leaving species on that land ,called haven on earth .they were in deep pain ,the shower of tears which they never wanted has overruled to the drops of clouds.
Unitedly they tried to protect & tried to guard but they failed.they wanted not to get submerged in the flood of their own tears. That cry made huge tribulations. The colors of Valley got sunken. The strength of human was feeling suffocation. This time too they tried to stand strong & unitedly, they put all their efforts to cast a shield & tried to lay some kind of umbrella and the reason was: not to get wet in their own tears”. They felt helplessness against the waves of those feelings .They never wanted to submerged in that flood of tears …but the mother nature proved them wrong on that day..
