11th November 2018.
A cold night in Srinagar, Kashmir.
Driving by the Dal at night 10, as we approached a junction that would cross over towards Hazratbal, we were stopped by lights being flashed at us by the security officers guarding the post. Sherry rolled down his side of the window and turned down the music.

Security Guard: ID?
Sherry: pulls out his wallet and hands over his ID.
SG: नाम क्या है?
Sherry: Sherry
SG: कहा जा रहे हो?
Sherry: nigeen, pointing at us, यह tourist है.
SG: कहा रहते हो?
Sherry: Rajbagh
SG: in an agitated manner while looking at the ID.. कहा?
Sherry: Rajbagh.

At around 8 in the evening we had checked into, one of the many amusingly named, house boats on Nigeen lake. Placed our baggage in the room allotted and then had a good look of the room and proceeded to the seating area looking out into the lake. Banter galore, time didn't hold any sway on us, hunger did. We got ready and went out driving to a restaurant by the Dal.

Right after dinner, as we were about to seat ourselves, Sherry declared... वो वाला गाना लगाते हैं..

Warm, filled bellies and driving in the winter breeze by the Dal gave us a good vibe, but we were tripped out by the old rendition of the song by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
