original one-shot: liberosis

part of: tatemae; 建前 — a bts series

the smoke from the finest cuban cigars is blinding but not for this particular group of men in their early thirties, enjoying the finer things in life; aptly aged scotch and cuban cigars. it's like there is something different in the air and they cannot think back to a time when they all were together — having fun. well, it is a weird group composition to begin with — other than their ages, not one set of the men had a single thing in common.

we have a detective of the violent crimes squad; the civil servant, detective jeon jeongguk and opposite to him is sat the oldest of the group; a typical capitalist businessman, kim seokjin, who has never given a flying fuck about staying in tune with the laws of the land he gladly corrupts for his benefit. beside him is sat the host of the party; who is bound by his profession to give lots of flying fucks about the laws of the land, but he gladly tweaks the loophole of the statutes — advocate min yoongi, the defense lawyer. the trio of the older men is completed with the rich chaebol hotelier on the other side of seokjin; dressed in the finest of silks that your eyes will ever lay on, jung hoseok who has a penchant for complaining about anything that seems out of place, but he has not pointed one finger tonight — guess shiza has done a great job and yoongi cannot help but feel proud of his feisty little wife. by hoseok’s side, dr kim taehyung, the top surgeon of the country, is sprawled in a half-lying position, reaching over for the canister of scotch to refill his glass. the man on the other side helped taehyung reach the canister to which, taehyung gave a nod as a thank you, he would smile too but he is not comfortable smiling at strangers and park jimin is the newest addition to the group. taehyung does not even know who this jimin guy is and frankly he is not bothered much about it — he misses his braniac hyung, professor kim namjoon who could not make the party due to work reasons.

jeongguk and jimin are sat on one side of the expensive kashmiri pashmina rug while the other four men were sat opposite to them maybe three-four feet away. taehyung belonged to the trio of the younger men but he would rather drink boiling hot lava than be seen anywhere near jeon jeongguk.

“so, jimin. what do you do for a living again?” seokjin voiced when he noticed that the men had started to let loose after a drink or two. he took the position of the leader of the group quite naturally, guess it comes with the age and experience.

“uh, i choreograph kpop idols.”

“fuck. have you ever worked with IU?” jeonggguk’s doe eyes turned to jimin in a second.

yoongi couldn’t help but let a snicker at the youngest’s excitement, “such a kid.”

“unfortunately, no. but i work with all the top artists of sme, yge, hybe, starship and all.”

“well, this man here owns half of KBS,” hoseok’s index finger wrapped around the glass of scotch came off and pointed at seokjin.

seokjin let a humble laugh, “half? oh please,” he turned to jimin, the serious facade returning to his features, “i own merely 49% of the stakes.”

jimin hates to admit it but his jaw physically fell open in front of such sophisticated, well put men as the word ‘merely’ floated around his brain like a windows XP screensaver.

“such a show-off,” jeongguk scoffed, taking a puff of the cigar to which the oldest just chuckled.

jimin turned to jeongguk, “detective jeon, if i owned 49% stakes in KBS, i would probably get that tattooed on my dumb forehead.”

jeongguk laughed, coughing the smoke out at the broken humour, “call me jeongguk, please.”

“how did you land that cutie?” taehyung gestured with his eyes at the bespectacled girl sitting among the wives in the sober baby-blue playsuit, park rei.

jimin felt a slight tinge of jealousy, just a slight tinge and it was not the bad kind — not the kind which would make him want to take it up with the surgeon for calling his wife cute — but more like the good kind where he is proud to show you off without feeling threatened constantly. being among happily married men makes jimin feel so secure — a company of men he would look to be included in.

“ah, she was a tough one to come around but looks like i have finally tired her down.”

hoseok raised his glass, “i know right! that tiring down shit works wonder.”

jimin laughed, clinking the advanced glass with his before both taking a sip. tiring women down is what civilised, cultured men of this modern society do, right? the nerve of these men.

“can’t relate,” jeongguk boasted with a smirk, his biceps flexed through the thin material of the untucked shirt as he reached for the canister of scotch. 

taehyung snorted hard at that, bringing jeongguk’s unwanted gaze at him, “what?”

“are you jealous of me?” jeongguk was quick to retort.

taehyung could taste the bile at the distasteful question, “you have got to be kidding me!”

yoongi glared at jeongguk while hoseok put a sober hand on taehyung’s shoulder to lower down the steeply rising testosterone level of the room.

seokjin, taking on his pacifier role, spoke up, “tch, tch, boys. don’t ruin the fun. we are having a good time, right?”

the men nodded slowly, one by one after the thick air around them settled down.

the newbie, jimin, did not miss the piercing glares the younger duo gave each other. it was clear that it took both of them a lot of self-control to step down from an ugly fight. he watched jeongguk pouring himself another glass and downing it before turning to him, back to his jovial mood. remind jimin to never get on the bad side of any of these men; they all hold such a domineering aura, ready to put anyone in their places like they own everything. they all are from different walks of lives, working in different professions yet they all have that exact same trait of toxic masculinity engrained into them, including jimin.

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.

the men were engaged in quite the conversation when azumi walked up to jeongguk, placing her hand on his shoulder to nudge him out of the conversation, “we should get going. you’ve duty in the morning.”

jeongguk frowned, sighing the smoke out through his nose before handing the half-smoked cigar to hoseok, “yes baby,” he turned to the men, “unlike you rich pricks, i have work in the morning.”

“mm, officer. thank you for your service,” seokjin hooted, gaining a laugh from the rest of them. 

jeongguk chuckled, wearing his jacket, the right sleeve of which he kept getting wrong till azumi held it up for him to slide his right arm in. her husband placed the arm over her as she walked him out after bidding farewell to the wives.

jeongguk almost sprained his ankle while getting off the stairs at the porch of the min mansion but azumi managed to keep his balance.

“how much did you drink?”

“i can still drive.”

“over my dead body? right,” azumi shook her head before unlocking the passenger door and pushing her husband inside who would not simply go down without a fight.

slamming the door shut, azumi got in the driver’s seat. she leaned to the other side and pulled on the seatbelt to wrap it around her intoxicated husband. 

jeongguk smelled her hair, getting comfortable in the seat.

“you drank too much,”

“you wanna bet?” he sprang to life, his figure advancing towards her.

“with a sore loser? no, thank you,” azumi rolled her eyes in faux annoyance before driving home.

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.

taehyung and tanaz were next to leave as taehyung received an emergency surgery being scheduled early morning tomorrow.

tanaz smiled at shiza, “thanks again for having us.”

“you have made it into a beautiful home, mrs min,” taehyung smiled too, before opening the door for his wife.

“you sure you can drive?” tanaz asked checking the time on her watch.

“i am never out of control. we have been together a while now and you know it,” taehyung mentioned, opening the passenger door for his wife.

“you never tire of the gentleman facade, do you?”

“why would i tire? i am a gentleman,” taehyung shrugged, before revving up the engine.

tanaz chose not to drag it further and changed the topic, “you fought with that asshole jeon, right?”

“how did you know?” taehyung’s eyes were trained at the road.

“the permanent scowl plastered on your face isn’t hiding anything.”

“you know i don’t like that ass.”

“you and me both bro, amen.”

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.

rei kept staring at jimin, who drove carefully, he was not drunk out of his senses but enough to make him tipsy.

jimin caught her constant stare, “what?”

“you smoked. i have never seen you smoke.”

“i don’t. that was just a cigar,” he shrugged.

“fine. but i absolutely hate the smell of cigarettes. i hold my breath everytime i enter min sir’s chamber. anyways, did you have a good time?”

jimin nodded, changing gears after the signal turned green.

“see! and you thought you would be bored alone. they are all nice people.”

“well, i was able to make friends, luckily that’s all. oh, by the way, i will be going out with jeongguk tomorrow for some drinks.”

“really? of all the people, you chose to be friends with that guy? i don’t like his vibe, i don’t know. there was also a weird tension between the ladies regarding jeongguk and taehyung,” rei shrugged, “it was all peculiar.”

“doll, you are overthinking. i will also be meeting with seokjin hyung about some work.”

rei let a soft sigh in reply before turning her gaze out the window, watching the tall buildings fly by in a blurry haze.

“look, jeongguk seemed chill, the others were a bit snobbish.”

“well, they all earn more on a daily basis than our combined income monthly so maybe being snobbish comes naturally to them,” rei shrugged.

“do you want to live that life?”

“i wouldn’t last a day. i just wanna live a calm life with you and chill.”

“mm, my doll is so perfect,” jimin placed his hand on her thigh, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶༉‧₊˚.

hoseok’s driver escorted the reputable man back to the comfort of his house and wife before seokjin and inaya left.

usually seokjin hates driving but it is such a beautiful night to not enjoy the starry sky. a full moon shining so brightly on the road ahead that the streetlights were put to shame. seokjin pushed a button of the convertible which slid the hood down for the couple to feel the fresh air on their faces. inaya was caught off-guard and the scarf holding her hair in place flew away. a breathless soft squeal left her lips as she held her flowy top part of the dress down in place.

seokjin grinned, he slowed down as he did not want the moment to ever end. his right hand left the steering wheel to take inaya’s hand in his before he brought it to his lips to leave a chaste kiss on her knuckles.

inaya blushed and turned her face the other way to look at the scenery passing by.

seokjin’s fingers played with inaya’s wedding ring, still holding on to her hand, “you didn’t drink, right?”

“no.” inaya sighed. yes, here we go. the moment is ruined.

“jagi, you know i am only looking out for you. i want what’s best for you, for us.”

“yes, yes,” inaya took her hand away, leaning on the passenger door, resting her chin on the windowsill.

A Journey through Razdan Pass Inspired by the Verses of Habba Khatoo

In the tranquil landscapes of Kashmir, where the mountains kiss the skies and the rivers hum ancient songs, there lies a passage steeped in history and poetry, a tale of beauty and resilience intertwined with the natural splendor of the region. This story is not just of scenic vistas but also of a poetess whose verses have become an eternal part of Kashmir’s cultural fabric. Here, amidst the towering peaks and winding roads, the journey through the majestic Razdan Pass leads one closer to the essence of Habba Khatoo, a name that resonates with the poetic soul of Kashmir.

The Razdan Pass, standing at an elevation of 11,672 feet, serves as a gateway to the captivating Gurez Valley. This mountain pass is more than just a geographic feature; it is a threshold to a world where the raw beauty of nature merges seamlessly with the rich tapestry of Kashmiri history. The pass, often blanketed in snow during the winter months, offers panoramic views that are nothing short of breathtaking. As you traverse this route, each turn presents a new vista—whether it’s the shimmering Kishanganga River meandering through the valley below or the distant peaks that stand as silent sentinels to the beauty and history that have unfolded in this region over the centuries.

Travelers who venture through Razdan Pass often find themselves lost in the serene yet rugged beauty of the landscape. The air here is crisp, tinged with the scent of pine, and the silence is profound, broken only by the occasional sound of wind rushing through the valleys or the distant call of a bird. This silence, however, is anything but empty. It is filled with the whispers of history and the echoes of a time when the valley below was a flourishing kingdom. The pass has witnessed the march of emperors, the prayers of pilgrims, and the poetic musings of one of Kashmir’s most beloved figures—Habba Khatoo.

Habba Khatoo, often referred to as the Nightingale of Kashmir, was a 16th-century poetess whose life and works have left an indelible mark on the cultural and literary heritage of the region. Born in Chandhar, a small village in the Pulwama district, Habba Khatoo’s poetry reflects the beauty, pain, love, and longing that are intrinsic to the human experience. Her verses, composed in Kashmiri, speak to the soul, capturing the essence of a life that was as tumultuous as it was poetic.

The journey of Habba Khatoo through life was marked by profound love and equally profound sorrow. Married off at a young age to an ill-tempered husband, her early life was far from the idyllic existence one might imagine for a poetess of her caliber. Yet, it was these very experiences that fueled her creativity, turning her into one of the most revered poets in Kashmiri history. Her verses often spoke of her longing for love, the pain of separation, and the deep connection she felt with the natural world around her. It is said that the beauty of Kashmir—the valleys, the rivers, and the mountains—served as both her muse and her solace.

As one stands at the Razdan Pass today, it is easy to imagine Habba Khatoo finding inspiration in the same vistas that captivate travelers now. The very mountains that rise around the pass could have been the ones she gazed upon as she composed her poetry, her words flowing as naturally as the rivers that wind through the valleys below. The rugged beauty of the landscape, with its contrasts of sharp peaks and gentle slopes, mirrors the duality in Habba Khatoo’s life—the joy and sorrow, the love and loss, the beauty and the pain.

The Razdan Pass also holds a strategic significance, connecting the Bandipora district with the Gurez Valley. This route, though treacherous at times, has been a lifeline for the people of Gurez, providing them with access to the rest of Kashmir. The pass remains a vital link, especially during the summer months when the snow melts and the roads are navigable. However, it is not just the physical connection that the pass represents; it is also a symbolic passage through time, leading one back to the days when Habba Khatoo’s verses would have been shared and sung across the valleys.

The Gurez Valley, which lies beyond the Razdan Pass, is itself a place of unparalleled beauty. Often described as one of Kashmir’s hidden gems, Gurez is a land where time seems to stand still. The valley is home to the Dard Shina people, an ethnic group with a unique culture and language that has been preserved for centuries. The Kishanganga River, with its turquoise waters, flows through the heart of Gurez, adding to the valley’s enchanting beauty. It is in places like these that one can truly appreciate the connection between Kashmir’s natural beauty and its cultural heritage—a connection epitomized by the journey through the Razdan Pass and the legacy of Habba Khatoo.

Habba Khatoo’s life, though marked by personal tragedy, was one of profound artistic achievement. After the death of her first husband, she found love again in the form of Yusuf Shah Chak, the last independent ruler of Kashmir. Their love story, though brief, was one of intense passion and mutual respect. Yusuf Shah Chak, recognizing her poetic genius, encouraged her to continue writing, and under his patronage, her works flourished. However, their happiness was short-lived. Yusuf Shah Chak was eventually captured by the Mughal Emperor Akbar and exiled to Bihar, where he died in captivity. Habba Khatoo was left heartbroken, and her later works reflect the deep sorrow she felt at the loss of her beloved.

Today, Habba Khatoo is remembered not just as a poetess, but as a symbol of the resilience and enduring spirit of Kashmir. Her verses continue to be recited and sung, their beauty undiminished by the passage of time. The Razdan Pass, with its timeless beauty and its role as a gateway to the Gurez Valley, serves as a fitting backdrop to her story—a story that is as much about the land as it is about the poetess who captured its essence in her words.

As you stand at the Razdan Pass and gaze out over the Gurez Valley, it is impossible not to feel the presence of Habba Khatoo. Her words seem to linger in the air, carried on the wind that sweeps through the pass. The landscape that unfolds before you is the same one that inspired her, the same one that she immortalized in her poetry. In this way, the Razdan Pass is not just a physical journey, but a journey into the heart of Kashmir’s cultural soul—a journey that brings you closer to understanding the enduring legacy of Habba Khatoo and the timeless beauty of the land she loved.

How the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek Compares to Other Himalayan Treks

The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is often hailed as one of the most stunning treks in India, if not the entire Himalayan region. It's a journey that takes you through a landscape dotted with pristine alpine lakes, lush meadows, and towering peaks. But how does it stand up against other famous Himalayan treks? In this article, we'll dive deep into the unique aspects of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, compare it with other well-known Himalayan treks, and discuss why it might just be the adventure you're looking for. We will also touch upon the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek best time to ensure you plan your trip perfectly.

Overview of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek

The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is a mesmerizing trail located in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The trek spans over a distance of approximately 72 kilometers, usually covered in about 7 to 9 days. The highlight of this trek is the seven high-altitude lakes that dot the route, each more breathtaking than the last. The trek starts from Sonamarg and traverses through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the Himalayas, including meadows full of wildflowers, snow-capped peaks, and dense forests of pine and fir.

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek Best Time to Go

Choosing the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek best time is crucial for an enjoyable experience. The trek is typically open from late June to early September, which is the summer and monsoon period in Kashmir. This is when the snow has melted, the meadows are lush, and the lakes are at their most vibrant.

Unique Features of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek

The Unparalleled Beauty of the Alpine Lakes

What sets the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek apart from other Himalayan treks is undoubtedly the series of stunning alpine lakes. From the tranquil Vishansar Lake to the shimmering Gadsar Lake, each body of water offers a unique and awe-inspiring view. The lakes are surrounded by lush green meadows and towering peaks, often reflected perfectly in the crystal-clear waters. This juxtaposition of vibrant greens and blues against the backdrop of rugged mountains is a sight that is rarely matched elsewhere in the Himalayas.

The Varied Terrain

Another feature that distinguishes the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is the sheer variety of terrain. Trekkers will experience everything from gentle meadows and dense forests to challenging ascents and rocky outcrops. This variety not only makes the trek visually stimulating but also keeps it physically engaging, as no two days on the trail feel the same.

Cultural Immersion

While the natural beauty of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is its primary draw, the opportunity to experience the local culture is an added bonus. The trek passes through remote villages where you can witness the traditional lifestyle of the Kashmiri people. The warm hospitality of the locals, coupled with their unique customs and cuisine, provides a rich cultural experience that complements the trek’s natural wonders.

Comparing the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek with Other Himalayan Treks

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek vs. Roopkund Trek

The Roopkund Trek in Uttarakhand is another popular Himalayan trek known for its mystery and adventure. The trek leads to the Roopkund Lake, famously called the "Skeleton Lake" due to the ancient human skeletons found at its bottom. While Roopkund offers a sense of mystery and an exciting summit, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is more about serene beauty and varied landscapes. Roopkund’s terrain is more rugged and challenging, with a higher altitude gain, making it more suitable for trekkers looking for a strenuous adventure.

In contrast, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is moderately difficult and offers a more balanced experience between physical challenge and scenic enjoyment. It’s perfect for those who want to soak in the natural beauty without the intense physical demands of treks like Roopkund.

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek vs. Valley of Flowers Trek

The Valley of Flowers Trek, also in Uttarakhand, is famous for its vibrant meadows filled with rare and exotic flowers. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts nature lovers from around the world. However, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek offers a more diverse landscape. While the Valley of Flowers focuses primarily on its blooming meadows, the Kashmir trek provides a mix of lakes, meadows, forests, and mountain views.

Moreover, the Valley of Flowers Trek is much shorter, typically lasting around 4 to 5 days, making it more accessible for beginners. On the other hand, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is a longer, more immersive experience that allows trekkers to connect deeply with the Himalayan wilderness.

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek vs. Markha Valley Trek

The Markha Valley Trek in Ladakh is known for its stark landscapes, Buddhist monasteries, and high passes. It offers a different kind of beauty—one that is arid, rugged, and culturally rich. The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek contrasts sharply with this as it offers lush green landscapes and an abundance of water bodies, making it more visually soothing.

Markha Valley is more challenging due to its altitude and remoteness, often requiring trekkers to be more self-sufficient. The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, while remote, is less harsh and more about enjoying the varied landscapes than enduring them. It’s a trek that’s as much about relaxation and enjoyment as it is about adventure.

Kashmir Great Lakes Trek vs. Hampta Pass Trek

Hampta Pass in Himachal Pradesh is another trek that offers a dramatic shift in landscapes, from lush green valleys to barren Spiti deserts. The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, while also showcasing diverse landscapes, maintains a consistent alpine charm throughout. Both treks are moderately difficult, but Hampta Pass has the added excitement of crossing a high-altitude pass.

If you’re looking for a trek that offers both lush greenery and desert-like terrain in a short span, Hampta Pass might be your pick. However, for those who want to experience the quintessential alpine beauty with an array of pristine lakes, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is the winner.

Late June to Early July: The Blooming Meadows

During this period, the meadows are in full bloom, with a riot of wildflowers painting the landscape. The lakes are still partially frozen in some places, adding a touch of drama to the scenery. This is the best time for photographers and nature enthusiasts who want to capture the pristine beauty of the region.

Mid-July to August: Peak Trekking Season

Mid-July to August is considered the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek best time for most trekkers. The snow has fully melted, the weather is relatively stable, and the trails are clear. The lakes are completely thawed, reflecting the surrounding peaks like giant mirrors. This period offers the best conditions for trekking, with pleasant temperatures and minimal risk of landslides or heavy rain.

Late August to Early September: The Golden Season

As the monsoon season tapers off, the landscape begins to take on a golden hue. The meadows turn from green to shades of yellow and brown, and the sky often remains clear, offering unobstructed views of the mountains. This is the best time for those who prefer a quieter trekking experience with fewer crowds.

Challenges and Considerations

Altitude and Acclimatization

One of the challenges of the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek is its altitude, with the highest point being around 13,750 feet at Gadsar Pass. While not as high as some other Himalayan treks, it’s still significant enough to cause altitude sickness in some trekkers. Proper acclimatization is essential, and it’s recommended to spend a day or two in Srinagar before starting the trek to help your body adjust.

Weather Conditions

The weather in the Kashmir region can be unpredictable, especially during the monsoon season. While the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek best time is during the summer months, trekkers should still be prepared for sudden rain, cold nights, and even occasional snow at higher altitudes. Packing appropriately with waterproof gear and warm clothing is crucial.

Permits and Regulations

Trekking in Kashmir requires certain permits, especially since the region is close to sensitive borders. It’s important to arrange these permits in advance, usually through a trekking agency or local authorities. Additionally, trekkers should be aware of the political situation in the region and stay updated on travel advisories.

Why Choose the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek?

The Kashmir Great Lakes Trek stands out among Himalayan treks for its unparalleled natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and moderate difficulty level. It’s an ideal choice for trekkers who want to experience the best of what the Himalayas have to offer without the extreme challenges posed by higher-altitude or more remote treks.

Whether you’re drawn to the idea of camping beside pristine alpine lakes, walking through flower-filled meadows, or simply soaking in the majestic views of the snow-capped peaks, this trek offers a little bit of everything. The opportunity to experience the unique culture of Kashmir is the cherry on top, making it a holistic adventure that appeals to both seasoned trekkers and newcomers alike.

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a trek that combines stunning scenery, cultural immersion, and a manageable level of difficulty, the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek should be at the top of your list. Plan your trip during the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek best time, pack wisely, and prepare for an unforgettable journey through one of the most beautiful regions in the world.

The opulent United Coffee shop at Connaught Place. We took a much needed break from the heat and one particularly pesky hawker here. I nursed my ginger orange pekoe tea for a couple hours.

Our take out dinner from the Bengali Marketplace about a 5 minute walk from our hotel.

In our thali (Indian plate lunch) there’s rice, naan, dosa filled with potatoes and veggies, 6 varieties of sauces and curries, fresh tomatoes, onions and cucumber and gulab jamin for dessert ( unfortunately not pictured because it originally didn’t fit on the table) and all of this for $4.20!

We negotiated with an auto rickshaw driver to take us from Connaught to a nearby shopping emporium for 20 rupees (28 cents). Talk about a cheap thrill ride!

There we enjoyed the hospitality of the sales people who plied us with tea as they tried to sell us Kashmiri rugs, silk scarves, and gold paintings. Did we fall for it? You’ll have to wait and see what I come home with. Anyway, it’s a great way to beat the heat. It was 112 degrees outside, and we spent the hottest part of the day in air conditioning with free tea.

Back to Connaught place for more shopping at a store called Globaldesi , specializing in Indian style clothing with a western slant. Killed another hour in dressing rooms. Hehe then over to the underground Palika Bazar and janpath market.

So today’s lesson ... shopping is the best heat stroke prevention!
