And, yes: no two songs are from the same film-otherwise, I’d probably end up listing the songs of only about four films. So, to celebrate: a list of 10 ‘Kashmir’ songs from pre-70s Hindi films that I’ve watched. I’ve wanted to go back to Kashmir for the past 27 years, and this year, we finally did it. It was breathtakingly lovely, and when my family moved to Delhi in 1985, I was heartbroken. From the masses of narcissi and daffodils, and the flowering fruit trees in spring, to the gardens bursting with poppies, roses and pansies in summer. It was a beautiful place, and the beauty of it changed with the seasons: from the golds and reds of the chinars in autumn to the billowy white of winter (winter also meant teeth-chattering cold and long power cuts and occasionally no water, but never mind). I lived in Srinagar for 3 years, beginning with when I was about 9 years old.
Some of you may even know the reason for that-a trip to Kashmir (or, to be more specific, Srinagar). Some of you may have noticed my recent hiatus.
