A THICK BLANKET OF
WATER DANCING INSIDE ACHHABAL GARDEN
OF KASHMIR .
( It is believed that
river Brengi which disappears at Dewalgaam in the limestone fissures, emerges
and gushes out from the SOSANWAR hill to form Achhabal water spring . Old name of
Achhabal was Akshavala .It was founded by King Aksha who is believed to have reigned over Kashmir from 486-326 B.C.. Kalhana also records the name of
the village Akshavala .It was later extensively remodelled by the Mughal
rulers in 1620 as a retreat for NUR JAHAN..)
The thick blanket of
water laughed to its heart’s fill. Carefree and happy, it danced down the
hill.Does it know who wept and for how much time? Does it know about the tear
streams that keep coming down our eyes . I believe NO. And kashmiri poet Dina
Nath Naadim too conveys this feeling in this couplet …
Paan Tchaadiri Gayee
Aaiss Aaiss Neel
Tuss na khabar kaaem
Kotaah Voadh….
