Goodbyes are always difficult.
I, Chinmai Verma, arrived in Srinagar about a year ago, disillusioned by the demands of corporate and city life. As I settled in slowly, I also got the wonderful opportunity to work with a not-for-profit organization; we started Downtown Legacy Tours as an initiative to bridge the gap between the tourists and travelers and local community members. Gradually over time, I met many wonderful individuals, our work reached places; Srinagar settled down inside of me. Today, I am gushing with emotions as I convey that I conducted the last tour as Project Director yesterday. It has been a tremendously profound experience for me! Connecting with local communities and serving guests from all over the world, helped me become a more compassionate and empathetic person. Until next time :)
