Yet another survival story from the tainted Baisaran valley in Pahalgam. We survived the horror to tell the story of what can only be described as monstrous act and paint the heavenly beauty blood-red with hellfire.
By the grace of the God, luck, and some quick thinking from an Army officer saved not only our life but lives of another 35-40 people that day. Here's how the events unfolded for us that day. #Pahalgam #PahalgamTerroristAttack
We had postponed our trip by 2 days due to bad weather to cover Pahalgam in our 8 day trip and visit the place which is described by many as paradise in Kashmir on the fateful day. Little did we know the ramifications of that one decision. We were four of us that day me, my wife, my brother and my sister-in-law who traveled from Srinagar to Pahalgam by car. My brother is a senior officer in the Indian Army and was on vacation to spend time with the family and accompanied us for the trip.
We reached Pahalgam town around 12:30pm on Tue, 22nd April and took the pony ride to Baisaran valley and reached by 1:35 pm. It was completely muddy road until the top and covered by Pine trees on the hills all around. The 2 pony guides talked to us of the beauty and charm that is Pahalgam . We entered by the main gate like everyone else and went to one of the cafes setup by the left side of entrance. We were taken away by the majestic view and the landscape and enjoyed it with a cup of tea and kawa. The clock showed 02:00 PM, so we got up to take a stroll and click some photos of what should have been the cover photo of the Kashmir trip album. We were lucky to move in the direction opposite of the entrance. 1/4
Heartbreaking news from EY Pune - a young CA succumbed to the work pressure and nobody from EY even attended her funeral - this is so appalling and nasty!!!
We traveled @etihad once while have travelled on Emirates for over 8 years! The difference in customer service on @emirates is another level... unmatched anywhere...
Etihad sent a survey to my 6-year-old daughter about her recent flight experience in business class.
I let my daughter answer the survey without any influence.
It was a bloodbath.
Some of the feedback...
- Flight was bad because her school friends were not on it.
- Kids meal was not good, because it lacked chocolate.
- Hot towel service was not offered to kids.
- Biz + economy kids packs, identical... she wanted more.
- "Videos didn't start until we take off", ie: IFE on Etihad doesn't start until airborne.
- No pyjamas.
Then we got to the famous NPS question "Would you recommend Etihad to friends and family..."
1 out of 10.
All because Emirates crew gave her chocolates while Etihad did not.
