Dear Editor,
Quite adverse to the predictions and forecasts, Kashmir valley has finally received its share of snow, may be a little less. The valley was sure to face huge troubles in the coming summer as lack of snowfall directly impacts the availability of water all across the length and breadth of the valley.

Last week in Mumbai, Congress scion Rahul Gandhi met a group of students to share his frustration with India’s politicians. “I am here because I don’t like what our political system looks like,” he declared. Fine sentiments. The students applauded him heartily.
Then he did what most politicians he detests love to do. He indulged in crass tokenism. The media, true to its form, applauded him as a hero.
They gave colourful headlines to stories of how Rahul Gandhi had boarded a commuter train after joining a meandering queue to buy a first class ticket – instead of asking his security guards to get it – from somewhere to somewhere in the city while fascist hordes of the Shiv Sena failed to derail him.
