Aabi Guzar Toll


Previously, Aabi Guzar Gone, 22nd September:

“Over the years, I started coming across photographs of the place in old travelogues. Having never been to the place, the sight of the place in an old book became a thing of little joy for me. Earlier this year when I visited Srinagar, the thought of finally visiting the place did occur to me, but it was winter, the water levels were low, it would not have been a pretty sight, I told myself, ‘Next time when the water levels are higher.’


This old building is now gone, destroyed in the flood of September 2014.”
