Roughly 120 Kms from Jammu  or 180 Kms from Srinagar  , lies a small hamlet of shops   famous for  RAJMAASH( Beans )  AND RICE . This is not simple RAJMAASH and RICE. You have the luxury of relishing it with 20 Gms of Local Desi Ghee and a bonus in the shape of special mouthwatering  Anardhaana (Pomegranate )and Onion Chutney.You may order fresh curd or Tandoori Chapaati . Enter . Sit in the balcony on backside of any of these hotels to enjoy  the scenic view of river  CHENAB  pouring out from the turbines of Baglihaar Power Project . This is PEERAH. A midway halting point on Jammu Srinagar Highway. Any one and every one stops over here . Even our Chief minister Omar Abdullah  had his Rajmaash -Rice some days back over here. His father Dr Farooq too Relishes the Rajmaash – Rice of this place . Can I  add spice to  this write up .Yes   some lines from a Gazal  of Ahmed Faraz;

zindagi hum tere daghoon  se rahe sharminda
Aur tu hai ke sadaa Aina- khaanay maange.
Yehee  dil thaa ki  tarastaa thaa  maraasim ke liye,
Ab yehee Tarq e Talauk ke bahaanay maange
