WHEN THE CROW ASKED THE WIND TO MOVE IN AND ENQUIRE

                                                                                            

THE  DESERTED   HOUSE  IN   KARAN NAGAR   SRINAGAR  AFTER THE  ARMED  MILITANCY  FORCED  THE KASHMIRI PANDIT  FAMILY TO   MOVE TO   PLAINS OF THE COUNTRY TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.

WHEN THE CROW REQUESTED THE WIND TO  ENQUIRE..

Where have the people gone? What  happened? Unmoved remains the  window curtain since long and darkness lies in the courtyard. No one comes out to light a lamp. Who shall  enquire ?Who shall go inside? O god ! What to do? The birds have been coming again and again to have the grains. The Kawa_ Paett( wooden slab meant for keeping morning food for crows and sparrows) is dry as none has put any food upon it since long ? Where shall the birds go ? The birds come daily but return sad and hungry .   A crow requests the wind to move in and look what  happened.

This is what Kashmiri poet Prof Rehman Rahi coveys in these two  lines...

" Na chhu daa'ri   alaa'n  pardh'a   na chhu braandh'a   dazaan Tso'ng,

Vaavus  Chhu dapaan kaaw  tse  moloom karakh na....."

(Neither is there any movement in the window curtain,

Nor does any lamp burn in the courtyard.

Puzzled, the crow requests the wind to move in and enquire..)
