More "Normalcy" Kashmir style.

Because the news of the same cop again being implicated in something sinister, I think of the day of Guru's hanging. It was just after the first Azan and the internet was still working. Shujaat Bukhari was the only other Kashmiri already online. He asked me whether I knew why it was curfew. I said I did not know but would try to find out. It was freezing and still almost dark. But like always during such days, a thick pall of gloom seemed to have already descended on the Valley. It is in the air. Then the news broke.
