” A Tale Of Two Cities : “

 

          No Charles Dickens people,This one comes direct out of a common mans Grey Matter.A thought that boggles every other Kashmiri.Why is Jammu better developed than Kashmir when it was opposite 20 years back.Are they just Lucky or is it something else?
          We have a great heritage and culture still we lag behind.We have more man power and talent still we lag behind.We have more resources still we lag behind.Two different faces of the same coin.
          Lets have a look at something very interesting.How many flyovers do we have here in Srinagar City.Yeah I know we have one in HSH Street(Hell I messed it up,thats actually an overhead bridge).If you know more ,do let me know.Ok lets go to our winter capital Jammu,Now thats what we call a flyover.Do I need to mention the Location for this one ??
           Fine lets talk about roads.How many two ways and Well mettled roads do we have here in Srinagar.Here we score a lot…..Secretariat Road,Boulevard Road,MA Road,Air PortRoad and yes Gupkar road.So many we have.Do you expect me to talk about interior of the City…….Excuse me Govt is working on all that too,for now they are busy counting Pot holes.
           How many houses have been constructed for people whose families have been butchered and property blown up.But yes govt has taken care of our migrant brothers and sisters,atleast they have full security flats and a job.
           All private MNC’s are either Establishing their Head Offices in Jammu or after reaping benefits from here they are moving to Jammu.The reason might be security,butlast time i heard some politicians saying everything in normal in kashmir,may be it was regarding the number of killings only.
           Newspapers are full of bad news and illegal activities when it comes to kashmir.I never see any such columns for Jammu.May be Center Govt is more interested in improving the condition of Kashmiris.We should be thankful in that case. 
           Yes one thing we will always have with us is the Natures Beauty,Now don’t expect someone to malignant that also.Come on everything is not in the hands of a Human being.If it was how much more do you think could be added to this story ??????

           Reminds me of a great saying “Taqdeer Bananey Waley Tuney Kami Na Ki, Aab Kisko Kya Mila Muqadar Ki Baat Hai” !!
