This is the living room on the Young Beauty Star houseboat. It's hard to see on this photo, but the couch armrests were carved in the shape of cobras.
A sign at a shop on Dal Lake: "Do not convert heaven into hell. Stop polluting Dal Lake. Save Dal Lake. Save Kashmir." Like so many bodies of water around the world, Dal Lake's plant and animal life is being threatened by pollution (especially plastic bottles and bags).
A line of houseboats lit up at night on Dal Lake, with the Hari Parbat Fort in the background (which is currently occupied by the Indian army).
The veranda on the Young Beauty Star houseboat at night. There is some amazing woodwork that goes into the houseboats on Dal Lake.
Every morning men gather at one particular place on Dal Lake to buy and sell their produce.
Dal Lake, Jammu and Kashmir, India.
Gulmarg is a ski resort about an hour away from Srinagar. A gondola runs up the mountainside in two phases. Unfortunately, I made it up the first stage only to find that the second stage was undergoing repairs.

Srinagar is a city with several gardens, most of which were built by Mughal rulers in the 17th century. This garden was built by one of the Mughal emperors for his wife.

There is a run down golf course in the meadow at Gulmarg. However, it doesn't look like anyone has played golf here in a very long time. According to a guy I asked, it was shut down for repairs in 2005 and will reopen in 2015 (sounds like an awfully long time to "fix" a golf course). Curiously enough, there is a Catholic Church in the middle of the golf church.
The Indian vice president was in Srinagar for two of the days I was there. Also, there was a strike one day and a bomb at a vegetable market on the outskirts of town (according to my driver to the airport). There were Indian army guys everywhere throughout the city, including on top of some of the houseboats.
The city of Srinagar is built around Dal Lake, which is famous for its houseboats and shikaras (gondola-like taxi boats).

You can go inside St. Mary's Catholic Church (located in the middle of the Gulmarg golf course), but I don't think masses are held here anymore.

The floating market can get quite crowded as buyers and sellers push their boats through to get to the buyer/seller they want to deal with.

I'm not sure if this guy was already finished selling his goods, or if he couldn't find what he was looking for.
നമുക്ക് കാശ്മീരിനെക്കുറിച്ച് സംസാരിക്കാം.
കാശ്മീര് നമ്മുടേതാണ്
കാശ്മീരികള് നമ്മുടെ സഹോദരന്മാരും
നാളിതുവരെ കേന്ദ്രം ഭരിച്ചവര്ക്ക്
അങ്ങിനെ തോന്നിയിട്ടുണ്ടോ?...
ശത്രുക്കളോടെന്നപ്പോലെ
സ്വന്തം പൗരന്മാരോട്
യുദ്ധം പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കുന്നതാണ് നമ്മുടെ ചരിത്രം.
'അഫ്സ്പ' കരിനിയമത്തിന്റെ മറവില്
ഇന്ത്യന് സൈന്യം നടത്തിയ
മനുഷ്യാവകാശലംഘനങ്ങള്,
മാനഭംഗങ്ങള്,..
ഇതെല്ലാം തീവ്രവാദത്തെ തളര്ത്തിയോ?
അതോ വളര്ത്തിയോ?.
മണിപ്പൂരില് കരിനിയമത്തിന്റെ മറവില്
സൈന്യവും പോലീസും നടത്തിയ ക്രൂരകൃത്യങ്ങള്ക്കെതിരെ
ശക്തമായ താക്കീത് നല്കികഴിഞ്ഞു സുപ്രീകോടതി.
'അഫ്സ്പ' യുടെ മറവില്, ശിക്ഷയെ പേടിക്കാതെ
സൈന്യം സത്രീകളെ പീഢിപ്പിക്കാവുന്ന
അവസ്ഥയുടെയുണ്ടെന്നും വര്മ്മ കമ്മീഷന്.
ഇന്ത്യന് സൈന്യത്തില് നിന്ന് മുറിവേറ്റ നിരപരാധികള്,
ഉറ്റവരും ഉടയവരും നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ട കാശ്മീരിലെ കുടുബങ്ങള്
ഇന്ത്യയോടൊപ്പം നില്ക്കുമോ?.... അതോ,
വിഘടനവാദ സംഘടനയില് അഭയം തേടുമോ?.
കാശ്മീര് മുഖ്യമന്ത്രി മഹ്ബൂബ മുഫ്തി
വെറും 17,701 വോട്ടിന്റെ ജനപിന്തുണ നേടുമ്പോള്
തലക്ക് 10ലക്ഷം ഇനാം പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കപ്പെട്ട
21കാരനായ തീവ്രവാദി ബുര്ഹാനുവേണ്ടി
തെരുവിലിറങ്ങുന്നത് അതിന്റെ എത്രയോ ഇരട്ടി ജനങ്ങള്.
കരിനിയമങ്ങള് പിന്വലിച്ചുകൂടേ?
കാശ്മീരിനെ സ്വന്തം നാടായും
കാശ്മീരികളെ സഹോദരന്മാരായും കണ്ടുകൂടേ?
സമാധാനത്തിന്റെ വഴികളിലൂടെ പ്രശ്നങ്ങള് പരിഹരിക്കാന്
എന്നാണ് നമ്മുടെ ഭരണകൂടത്തിന് ബുദ്ധിയും വിവേകവുമുണ്ടാവുക.

Washington DC, The US Capitol, July 24 2024.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the US Congress today at the invitation of Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. Well over a hundred Democratic Congresspersons refused to attend in protest of Netanyahu's brutal collective punishment of the people of Gaza in retaliantion for Hamas's muderious rampage in Israel on October 7 2023, Hamas killed around 1,175 Israelis and other foreign nationals. The official death count of Gazans is now almost 40,000 although foreign health organizations believe the total is much greater, Speaker Johnson threatend arrest of any person who interupted Netanyahu's speech,
Outside of the locked down Capitol tens of thousands
marched in protest. According to AP News some protesters tried to breach the police lines, commited "vilolent acts" and were arrested, AP also reported that the police used pepper spray to repel some protesters who refunsed to clear an intersection. I observed a number of protesters needlessly haranguing cops on the other side of the barrier, It always saddens me to see such uncivil behavior at a peace march.
