    My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

    The cooks. In a kitchen near a big mosque, cooks prepare food for charitable distribution among the local poor and needy in Srinagar, and among visitors to the mosque. During Ramadan everybody coming to the mosque is entitled to food and water. Even we, simple European tourists, were welcomed inside and treated with delicious Kashmiri tea made with milk and saffron. In exchange for their hard work, the cooks get people’s smiles and appreciation. It is a true volunteer’s job. India may be a poor country, where people have many difficulties, but their existence is brightened by the unity, friendship and humanity that come to the fore in their system of life priorities.
