Feels Like Paradise on Earth in the Form of Kashmir

Feels Like Paradise on Earth in the Form of Kashmir  Kashmir, the Paradise on Earth is a gift to your tired mind and stressed heart. Nature is in its full bloom here, encircled with snow Cladded Mountains and carpeted with lush green valleys. Vacation On Waters- The Delightful Dal Lake Dal Lake is the lifeline of Kashmir. Almost all tourists prefer staying at the elegant houseboats floating over this lake. These well-decorated wooden structures offer a lavish staying experience; you wake up to a surreal sunrise, reflecting its aura over the waters and bid goodbye to the day by enjoying a mesmerizing sunset, painting the waters with different colours. The ‘shikaras’ floating over the water sell flowers, fruits and other items throughout the day, exhibiting a unique market over the waters. Home Stay At The Lovely Ladakh Ladakh is breathtakingly beautiful, located at a height of 9800 feet, nestled between the Great Himalayas and the Kunlun mountain range. The warm-hearted locals of Ladakh offer you cosy shelters at their homes. Homestays are wonderful as you can experience the lifestyle of the people living at such heights, almost isolated from the rest of the world. While nature plays with the colours of the brackish waters of Pangong Lake, the Nubra Valley offers you fun-filled camel rides. Besides the blissful nature and lush greenery of the Zanskar Valley and the spectacular confluence of the Indus and Zanskar Rivers, Ladakh is a pilgrimage for peace lovers. Some of the historic Buddhist monasteries like the Tsomo Gompa, Shanti Stupa, Hemis Gompa, and Thiksey Monastery are located on this snow land. These monasteries are not only some of the best places in Ladakh to seek solace but also treasure houses of ancient scriptures and relics associated with Buddhism. An Exhilarating Trip To The Hemis National Park Hemis National Park, one of the largest national parks of the Indian subcontinent is a must-visit to check out some of the endangered wildlife species, like the Eurasian Brown Bear, Asiatic Ibex and the snow leopard. It is also a natural habitat for the Tibetan wolf, Himalayan mouse hare and the Himalayan marmot. Avian life exists in this forest of Alpine and Pine in the form of a golden eagle, Himalayan vulture, fire-fronted serin and Himalayan snow cock. A Divine Tour To Vaishno Devi And Amarnath Kashmir is the abode of God, as the cave temples of Vaishno Devi and Amarnath are located here. Lying in the lap of the Trikuta Mountains, the Vaishno Devi temple is visited by numerous tourists to fulfil their wishes and offer their prayers to the incarnation of Goddess Mahalaxmi. Prayers come out from the deep core of the hearts in the tranquil atmosphere of Kashmir. The 5000 years old Amarnath cave is your next destination. Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this cave temple is a miracle of nature; here the massive ice Shiva lingam is formed automatically and also melts by itself as per the phases of the moon. There are other two ice lingams here, worshipped as Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha. Fairs are held every year at Pahalgaon during the full moon of July/ August when the Amarnath Yatra resumes. The celestial atmosphere of the place lets you forget the entire struggle that you took to reach the cave shrines. The Exquisite Beauty Of Srinagar The winter capital of Kashmir beckons you with its fine gardens and architectural amazements. While the Shalimar Bagh and Chasme Shahi narrate the glorious Mughal rule with numerous fountains, canals, bright flowers and polished stone steps, the palatial palace of Gulab Bhavan is a transformed luxury hotel. Hence, be in Kashmir to feel the heaven on earth. via Blogger https://ift.tt/zLswfv1 April 17, 2023 at 06:18PM

Ethnicity: Latina Caucasian

Nationality: Mexican Irish

Myer Briggs Personality Type: INFJ

The Mage

Wand:

Pine wood

Dragon Heartstring core

11" 3/4

Rigid Flexibility

"The straight-grained pine wand always chooses an independent, individual master who may be perceived as a loner, intriguing and perhaps mysterious. Pine wands enjoy being used creatively, and unlike some others, will adapt unprotestingly to new methods and spells. Many wandmakers insist that pine wands are able to detect, and perform best for, owners who are destined for long lives, and I can confirm this in as much as I have never personally known the master of a pine wand to die young. The pine wand is one of those that is most sensitive to non-verbal magic."

Animagus: Polar Bear

Misc Magical Abilities:

Occlumens/Legilimens: She was able to master this ability since she was a toddler due to her fear of her mother being attacked.

Patronus: Polar Bear

" Polar bears are native to the Arctic region and are one of the largest species of bears. When hungry, a real polar bear can be unpredictable and vicious. They’ve even been known to eat humans in circumstances like these. A polar bear Patronus, however, would direct that ferocity at a Dementor and send it packing out of fear of getting a chunk bitten out of its creepy behind."

Patronus Memory: Seeing the ocean for the first time, playing with her sister, when she became friends with Chiara.

Mirror of Erised: She would see herself, at age 11, graduating Hogwarts. Then later sees herself and Chiara, both wearing white dresses.

Love Interest: Chiara Lobosca

They met in 1st year during the investigation of the werewolf on campus. They didn't become friends right away due to Chiara's wanting to keep her distance from anyone.

After a lot of convincing and help from Artemis, they officially became friends the following year.

It took until 6th year for Artemis to finally confess her feelings to Chiara. Though, Chiara rejected her, for fear of hurting Artemis, even though she does indeed love her.

Artemis has backed off, but still remaining friends until graduation. When she asked Chiara to live with her, for her protection. Chiara accepted her offer.

It took two years of living together for Chiara to finally open up her heart, much to Artemis' surprise. It happened one night, when Artemis took her to the nearby forest for the full moon. After the sun had risen, the muggle villagers, who had finally caught on to the werewolf living in their midst, prepared a gun with silver bullets which they fired at Chiara, now back in human form. Artemis had thrown herself in front of Chiara. They apparated out of the village, where Chiara healed her up, apologizing profusely. To which Artemis just looked at her with a smile, happy to see that Chiara was unharmed.

The two of them fought in the battle of Hogwarts.

After the incident in the muggle village, they moved to a cottage far away from anyone on a cliff facing the sea.

Background/History

Artemis grew up in the port town of Dingle. She loved going down to the beach to watch the waves crashing against the shore. Her sister was always off doing something, so Artemis was often left alone.

She was very fascinated by the muggles in her neighborhood and always asked to borrow their things.

She conjured up the scalding water spell on her own one day, when a suspicious man tried taking her with him.

She was a precocious child, always asking questions beyond her age.

She learned Legilimens and Occlumens as a toddler due to the much hate the wizarding community had towards her mother for not only being a squib, but from a foriegn country. She would often get into the minds of people she thought were harmful or mean to make sure they stayed away from her mother.

At Hogwarts, she became fast friends with Barnaby and Penny during potions class in their first year. She made friends with Chiara in their second year as well as Liz. Then made friends with Charlie during their care of magical creatures class.

She hates causing trouble and tries her best to avoid Tulip, Jae, and Tonks. Though, occasionally she'll talk with Tonks.

Personality

Introverted: She just prefers to be by herself, with others like her or extroverts who respect her quiet nature. She'd much rather snuggle with a book all day than talk, unless she felt comfortable around that person.

She loves swimming and anything nature related. Or just staring up at the night sky.

Her father and mother teach her and her sister of both Gaelic and Aztec culture.

She speaks Spanish, Nahuatl, English, and Gaelic.

On her mother's side run seeresses and on her father's side run animagus.

Her love of muggles lead to her taking up a postion in the ministry in that department. Though, she finds out quickly that it is one-sided. She tries her best to see the good in muggles and wants them to coexist with witches and wizards in a friendly manner.

She ends up separating herself from her parents when they discouraged her from getting involved with Chiara. (Since graduation).

Her theme music is: Boyish by Japanese Breakfast and Tú by Maye

Scenes from Dharamshala

Temple in Upper Bhagsu

Sunlight filtering in through latticed walls. Birds flitting in and out of the temple to perch on a copper bowl of rice and daal, the remaining fog from a breath of compassion that moved through this space. Shoes outside, in the road, compressing gently under the wheels of a leaking truck. The sound of bells as a farmer walks his donkeys up the steep village streets, backs laden with gravel. Everything outside of the temple seems to lilt in through the lattice, the way the gods and goddesses would hear the commotion of the earth from their balcony. Perhaps I can sit a while. This is not my place, I do not know it’s rules. But India is so free, and I feel no tension sitting here. I felt no tension slipping off my shoes to seek refuge in these walls. I feel no tension chanting and singing, my voice joining with all the voices ringing through these streets. The metallic statues of Parvati and Shiva, Ganesh and Avalokiteshvara are jumbled in with lesser gods in a large display. Books are scattered, and scarves. I climb through a door, the mouth of an enormous dragon. I crawl along it’s intestines as the passage narrows. Deep in the belly of the beast lies a shrine. Incense still burns here, smoke curling in the thick air. The sounds of the village are muffled. Where is the Bodhisattva that keeps this space? I looked over my shoulder. No one was there in the deep shrine, but I felt a presence. A power that I wasn’t sure I should witness. India is free. Perhaps because of a deep respect of the spiritual, the ethereal, the moral. I felt that I should not linger, so I stepped carefully around the shrine and shimmied down the other intestine, emerging back into the blissful, light temple out of the mouth of a roaring bear. My momentum propelled me out of the temple and back into the streets. Stillness crashed against commotion. Somehow, in this moment, no one noticed my presence. Somewhat of a miracle, as a rare foreigner during the Himalayan winter. I picked my path along the cobblestones and ice.

Empty Hookah Lounge on LSD

The snow glows under the full moon. I emerged from the cafe giggling and bumping shoulders and cheeks with Ari, my partner and adventure bud. The cafe sat at the top of a gorge, built of stacked river rocks, adorned with sketches of Siddhartha. A roaring waterfall cascades over icy rocks to our left. Stars twinkle, mountains crowd the sky. Far ahead the lights of Dharamshala paint pastel pinks over the deep blue night. We stretch our cracking, stiff legs, rambling down the hill, down the stone steps. The magic of LSD is that it reminds us how much of a game it is, to be here in this body. Winter brings aches and pains. It also brings a glow-in-the-dark world. What a beautiful game! Sandy’s Hookah Lounge. At least ten Indians clatter around in the open lower level of the establishment. The ceiling is dissected and wires tumble down around one man on a ladder. There are no walls, just wooden pillars. The lounge perches above us all like Baba Yaga’s hut on chicken legs. We peer our smiling faces in, grab a menu, and slide upstairs. Soon one man comes up with a pile of blankets. We spread out in a cushion-lined corner, sitting cross legged, shying away from the expansive glass windows dominating the walls. The night grows colder and we can see our breath as we laugh about whatever. It is a miracle, the conversation that somehow still bubbles up between two people who share so much of each other’s knowledge and memory. A miracle the way waves of energy push the mind towards novelty. We send for a hookah, french fries, and a lassi. The silence is filled by insane scribbling on a napkin, punctuated by insane chuckling. A great boobed monster appears out of the ether. Tears are shed. No other tourists are around, which we are finding to be a typical experience in these northern regions. Only the crazed visit the Himalayas in February. The hookah arrives, coal crackling upon a great bed of shisha. An exploration ensues. When, where, and how to blow clouds of smoke? Into frosty glasses, onto the table, out of the nose, in great O’s. Until our heads are light, until our toes are cold, until the coal is old and grey.

Prayer Wheel Path

‘Emptiness, tell me of your nature, maybe I’ve been getting you wrong’ - Adrianne Lenker

Open eye meditation, because the crystalline mountain air swirling through the gulf between here and there taps on my eyelids. Sunlight gracing the ice along jagged slopes jumps, ringing, towards me. The sound of the prayer flags fluttering is so seductive, I need to watch their every shiver. A bull stands still, staring softly at me. Behind him, in front of him, layers of prayer flags. Prayer flags hang like vines in the jungle; anywhere. Prayer wheels line the path. I walk always with them to my right, I spin them clockwise always. Like riding a bicycle, I will remember how to spin them. I can close my eyes and see them. Old wooden ones, with faded reds and greens. Cheery plastic ones, with scenes full of gods and goddesses twirling by so fast they jump straight into my subconscious. The path is a long one. Monks walk with us. Monks in deep maroon robes, with smooth, shiny, freckled, weathered, tan, brown, baby pink heads. Monks with light, gold wire glasses. Monks bent over their smartphones, monks with canes, monks with heavy books tucked under an arm. A long path circling tall stone walls. Inside, the Dalai Llama sits somewhere. To imagine his journey, across the mountains in fear and hunger. So many have arrived here in rags and frost. I breathe deep, taste sweet comfort and stillness. Here is a sanctuary. Open eye meditation, to paint a portrait of my travel companion. Brown eyes with long lashes. Eyes that look at me from the side, as if the angle keeps more of his soul within. Soft movements, soft breath. Pink, smooth lips. Pale skin like the moon and its craters detailed lightly on a stuffed animal.

Som’s Military House and Hashish

It’s almost unfair how hashish unlocks the energy of the night. Som sits on his bed, while his two friends, Ari, and I sit scattered around the room on plastic chairs. A relaxed circle in an unadorned room. There is a desk, a portable blazing red speaker, and a barrage of noise. Hashish smoke curls in it’s special way upwards, to relax on the ceiling. Hashish rolled in paper, with a bit of tobacco to even the burn. The smoke is thick and likes to coat my fingers as it escapes the cherry. The taste is sweet, the tobacco goes straight to my head. I lean forward in my seat, grasping it’s underside, legs locking, feet floating off the floor, head leaning towards my thighs as I giggle. Then I snap upwards to make eye contact, to project my voice over the mayhem. “Thank you, Shiva! Hashish, the gods love it” “The story of the Bhagavad Gita is the best, bro, the best adventure you could imagine” “Ari, bro, are you okay? Are you ---high?” “What is it really like, in the USA?” “Our generation, we all understand each other because we are all connected, all watch the same movies, listen to the same music, because it’s so easy to travel now” Layers of conversation, darting and spinning around the four walls. Smiling faces and pink eyes. Bowls of chickpeas with onions and tomatoes next to our beers and whiskey cokes. Campfire smoke clings to our jackets, frosty fingers wriggling in our pockets, between our warm thighs. Strange militant politeness layers over an inclination to be as loud and hectic as the busy streets of India. Pervasive idealization of America layered over an undying pride of India, over an easy cool gained living in a country where people sing as they work. Where families stay together and a trip anywhere could take all day. Yet Som speaks of his upcoming move to the USA. I struggle with a desire to spit criticisms about my country and a slow realization that I, too, can be proud of where I am from. Like a child, I fumble to explain my country, it’s history, it’s government, it’s mythology.

Cafe with a View of the Mountains

“you know some girls are bright as the morning, and some have a dark turn of mind” --Gillian Welch

Ilitrate perches on the edge of a gulf between mountain ranges. Modern, intellectual Indians and foreign wanderers in need of coworking space sit with their laptops, bracing against stiff alpine winds. Technology and good taste are put in perspective against the backdrop of the Himalayas. New, nearly virtual, realities of our own creation. Technology, good taste. In-concrete. The sun is blinding the way it reflects off the snow. Far in the distance, perched way up there, is the occasional gompa, temple, home. I close my eyes and imagine someone milking their cow, stoking a fire, a long days walk from anywhere. I trace the ridgeline with my gaze, savoring the way the peaks come to such distinct points. The way the snow builds up in pillowy piles that soften those jagged cliffs. With too strong of a gust our napkins, notes, even cellphones flutter off the cliff. My numb fingers struggle to plan our path to Nepal on my cracked phone, reserving a jumble of busses and trains. Squinting at tiny text, fighting snow-blindness. My hands buzz with the reverberations of strong espresso. With nearly every song that comes on, Ari and I look up at each other with approving excitement. My lips twitch as I look around. The cafe is composed of glass walls and strong dark wooden panels. The effect is airy and almost voyeuristic. Near the entrance, and the busy street on solid ground, the building transitions to muted brick and is covered in small framed paintings. I walk back to the barista to get some water. I try to elongate our conversation, searching her as if I could find her story in the pocket of her flannel, or maybe a button hole. Where does such a woman of two worlds come from, and how? Speaking to the cooks in perfect Hindi and to me in flawless English. At home here, Dharamshala, yet the competent face of an establishment that out-hipsters most cafes in the United States. I take a breath and let the yearning fade. I can only guess at the worlds of others. I am thankful to take home a memory. The knowledge that such places, people, exist. Still, I sit in a squishy leather armchair facing the counter as my eyes rest on a book. The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep. So strange, how twisted my mind is in the night. I do not understand why my head brims full of hedonism, screams, stalking, phantoms, and relentless anxiety. Tensions that I do not exude but rather that pool within the network of muscles around my lips and eyes. Tension that gives me tenderness in my waking hours. To consume media that is full of horror and bile is to bring pain into this world. I suffer enough. Dream yoga, the page reads, unravels these bad dreams as they appear, allows the karma to release. I look at my trembling hands, feel my twitching cheeks, hear my quivering heart. Will I ever be free of this awkward existence? Ever feel bliss, easy intimacy, invigorating friendships that last? Where do my evils lie... is that the heart of the matter? I try to remember, through the veils of the years, what crime I have committed. Like a holy book, I caress the spine as I get up to return to my chair on the balcony. As I sit down on the cold metal, look back out at the mountains, I calm down. We all will become Buddhas, whether in this life or in one hundred more. Laundry and prayer flags flutter on the porch next door. A group of monkeys chase one another along the colorful tin roofs below me. I am doing the work. I have taken control of my destiny, in coming here. As the world spins, the workforce grinds, I step away.
