Kashmir calling
My long-coveted Kashmir trip has never materialised, but Valley-born artist Ghazal Qadri's illustrations of the everyday lives of Kashmiris has brought the 'heaven on earth' a little closer. Her animated cartoons, often superimposed on actual photographs of the Valley, can be found boating on the Dal Lake, winnowing or enjoying noon chai while listening to the transistor. They make me smile.
