We are what we love.

We love to destroy! We love to destroy beliefs. Even the trees of the same species are different. But we can't agree to disagree. We love to destroy our health, our wealth. We love to destroy a person's integrity who is committed to do the right thing. We love to destroy the dignity of a poor man who can't fight for it. We love to destroy the authority of a leader. We love to destroy our children's identity. We love to destroy women and their ambitions. The worst of all we love to destroy hope and yet we love ourselves so very much.

Islamabad to Ratti Gali Lake Kashmir

Ratti Gali Lake The Plan It all started with a plan(unlike most other things). The plan was to go somewhere scenic, be close to nature, break the office rut, do some short trek, enjoy the weather, the landscape and come back safe and sound. Too many wants I know but Alhumdolillah it went as planned(unlike most other things). There were alternate options including Dudipatsar Lake and Aanso Lake. We decided to go ahead with Ratti Gali Lake. We had 3 days to spare and wanted to make every hour count. And boy we are so glad we chose Ratti Gali.
