We are posting a page from Kashmir Diary (Vol 1, No 2 Winter 1991). This poem in the above picture was written by Agha Shahid Ali, the poet emeritus of Kashmir that any Kashmiri will recognize. Commenting on his inclusion in the Kashmir Diary, Asha Shahid wrote:
Thank you so much for the newsletter, which you have done with so much dedication. What I particularly like is the absolute sincere passion that underlies the entire production, and therefore I am so very proud to be associated with it, to have my name in it. The poem looks attractive in the manner in which you have placed it, particularly next to the photograph, which of course makes the heart beat with nostalgia and restlessness.
