Nuclear Flashpoint - a documentary on Kashmir

Given my life is no longer full of exciting snowboarding days it is time for my blog to branch out. This is a documentary I stumbled across this afternoon on the political situation in Kashmir...

I'm not sure I entirely agree with the construction of the people of Kashmir entirely as victims. In my mind they are all proud people - Muslim, Hindu of Pandit, with a great innate hope for the future which I'm not sure is conveyed entirely. At the least the first 15 minutes are worth a watch for anyone who has no idea about why there is a war in Kashmir.

I enjoyed a surf this morning - I probably couldn't have felt further from Kashmir when floating out in the waves on yet another beautiful Autumn morning in Australia.

More to follow on Kashmir, a wonderful hike scouting terrain for a ski touring near Falls Creek and other plans for winter in Australia. I'm excited to start blogging again!

Hope you are all well!
