A trip to Kashmir
A Trip To Kashmir.
Let me begin from the start. "Mom! What are you rushing for? It's children's day and you look like you're going to explode!" I asked. "Prisha! We are going to Kashmir, remember?" mom glared at me. I grinned.
The next day my family left. We were 45 people or something. (My grandad and dad weren't coming) "Pahel!" (My cousin who was born on the same date, year, time as me.)
I screamed... She hugged me as tightly as a bear! We sat on a plane and were off. First, we stayed for a few days in Pahalgam. It had a breathtaking view of rivers and rocks. The food there was equally lip-smacking.
Next, we went and stayed in a houseboat. The houseboat designs were royal, traditional, and made me feel like a princess. The bathtub was huge. The bed had rods holding a shawl. The boats were parked in a harbor on the Dal Lake. We could go to each other's houseboats by taking a simple boat.
There was a restaurant next to the lake, so we went there to eat food. Then we went to a hotel. There was a playground right next to the hotel. The very next day, we went skiing. I saw white snow dogs. After skiing, we built a snow castle. Then, at the foot of the mountain, we ate scrumptious maggie.
Then, one morning, at 7:00, my mother was nowhere to be found! We peeked through the window and saw my mom with my maternal grandpa and her cousin. My little sister started bawling. I knocked loudly on my grandmom's door, but she was bathing. Then our aunt and uncle stepped out from their room and we started calling my mother together. "Sorry Girls!" my mother apologized. I really didn't want to leave this place as it was as beautiful as heaven. I still have a whole lot of memories of this place fresh in my mind.
