If you are bold, strong and handsome you can go on to prove that you are the best in the world! The young from Lolab were doing exactly that!

Kashmiri kids have done so time and again in the past and it is time to move on with the legacy and thus the Chinar Warriors were yet again goading them to move on!
-‘ I carry with me a head that has a brain that probably will not rust because I keep it fresh in whatever way I can. It is because I have a companion and that is some memoirs of some wonderful things in life. And this is what my friend Altaf Sheikh, a senior of mine in Tyndale Biscoe said to me, ‘it is a rather risky matter to discuss a happiness that has no need of words.’ His mother Razziya Sheikh stretched it further in sublime Urdu, however, as words become particularized, and as men begin – in however small a way – to use them in personal, arbitrary ways, so their transformation into art begins!’ Sorry if my translation is bad but she’s my mother as she is Altaf’s, the splendid sportsman with blue eyes!
‘ Life gives many chances but death does not! So at the edge do not regret and say that Was I ignorant, then, when I was seventeen? I think not. I knew everything. A quarter-century’s experience of life since then has added nothing to what I knew. The one difference is that at seventeen I had no ‘realism’’
-‘The Indian Army in Kashmir valley wants the youth to do well in life so that they achieve something big in life. The men in olive greens want that the new generation of kids should get on to a bigger stage to perform and show their talent and potential to realize the same to the world and that is the reason as why they keep organizing events for the youth to come on and make a beginning! Many were at Chandimarh showing their magnificently toned up body frames that still could be bulged up into being those of super humans! The idea behind was even greater perhaps, ‘Kashmiri youth you can become wonder boys if you desire so’!
-‘It’s rather tragic that many youth fell into the honey-money trap set up by Pakistan and it has been almost three decades that this story has been continuing! The youth who wasted themselves could have been a magnificent asset for Kashmir but unfortunately they made a wrong choice. Instead of training themselves to become roaring tigers they went on to become silent cats! An idea that should have been rubbished a long time back. But for sure, trust me, it will be in the years to come as most are now saying that, ‘sun and steel are inreconnected’! In other words the mond and the steel’! When the sun shines, the steel shines brighter! The brilliant mind makes the body shine brighter!
=‘Another instance of life I learnt in my early years in Kashmir was that continuing at eighteen for an early demise is bad; guns and drugs take you nowhere. That is not what the elders in Kashmir taught mankind! They taught to live and let the others live till they can. Wonder how the modern generation forgot that. The flab being given to the inoct body of youth in Kashmir by Pakistan has to be discarded and the time has hust about arrived. I could make out from the pictures (attached with the story) Kashmiri kids no that! Life has to be travelled and should be! Mother Razziya was never wrong in her pronunciations of life!
‘Positive thinking can be contagious. Being surrounded by winners helps you develop into a winner! If a body has to be toned up into a steel frame, I will go no further than Arnie Schwarznegger and the above mentioned lines in the sentence are his’!
The event to showcase body strength was organized by the Chinar warriors! Obviously the idea must have come out of the mind frames of the wonderful men in the olive green uniform because each one of them thinks that before long, my blood would not permit a halt of even a day or two. Something ceaselessly set me to work; my body could no longer tolerate indolence, but began instantly to thirst for violent positive action, forever urging me on. Thus for many a day I led a life that others might well dismiss as frenzied obsession. But did not realize that I was doing it for them and in the long run for Jammu and Kashi. Our Jammu and Kashmir!’
Each of the youngmen showcasing their body built at Chandimarh must have been probably saying that the groups of muscles that have become virtually unnecessary in modern life, though still a vital element of a man’s body, are obviously pointless from a practical point of view, and bulging muscles are as unnecessary as a classical education is to the majority of practical men. Muscles have gradually become something akin to classical Greek. To revive the dead language, the discipline of steel was required; to change the silence of death into the eloquence of life, the aid of steel was essential. It truly was always, it truly and it truly would be in the future! Life gives many chances at various stages in life and there can be no more than seven as Dhakespeare said it!
Half-reps may build your ego but they also build half a physique. Trust me that is what an officer or a man from the Indian Army will tell you! That is what the Chinar warriors were telling and that is what the show at Chandigam was arranged for. Sher-e-Lolab bodybuilding Championship at Chandigam, Kupwara in consonance with the efforts of the Indian Army to guide the youth and provide them with a platform to showcase their talent. The young men did produce something that was missing in the past years! Absolutely glamorous in personification!
To conclude I have a fe things to tell to the youth in Kashmir (although I’m a small fritter in a boiling fritter in a wok) some are born strong as the young kids from Lolab in picture are and others are made strong which the Indian army is trying to do with a message when you have a well developed body and you’re confident, you see people bending your way, wanting to be on your side, wanting to do things for you and another one, perhaps with a chuckle I will add the barbells and dumbbells you hold in your hands and the way you use them have stories to tell. This show at Chandigam had a huge one to tell and write about! I think I have done both! I don’t diet and exercise. I still eat and still train!
