I
had
just
visited
Kashmir
with
family
(wife,
my
14
years
old
daughter
and
a
friend)
last
week
and
to
be
honest
i
have
no
word
express
my
gratitude
to
Mr
Ajaz
who
is
the
owner
of
the
houseboat.
In
this
trip
i
have
actually
understood
that
there
are
few
good
men
like
Ajaz
bhai
in
this
world
who
makes
us
believe
there
is
no
bigger
deed
than
humanity.
I
reached
Srinagar
on
11th
Nov
very
early
(around
730
in
morning)
and
as
scheduled
i
was
supposed
to
check
in
to
Chicago
Houseboat
(for
3
night
stay
in
his
best
houseboat
which
also
hosted
Mrs
Indra
Gandhi
in
1975).
Ajaz
bhai
only
arranged
cab
for
the
entire
trip.
However,
the
moment
we
boarded
the
cab,
our
driver
(
Tariq
Bhai,
another
humble
and
true
gentleman)
informed
us
that
that
there
was
some
problem
that
has
happened
in
the
houseboat
last
night
and
we
had
to
wait
couple
of
hours
before
we
could
check
in.
As
we
all
were
very
tired
due
to
very
early
morning
flight
we
were
completely
taken
a
back
with
such
a
unfolding
of
the
situation.
But
to
my
surprize
Ajaz
bhai
had
already
made
an
arrangement
in
an
another
hotel
(Apple
Orchard
Resort).
Later
we
got
to
know
that
there
was
a
huge
fire
that
broke
last
night
which
completely
razed
at
least
5
houseboat
which
also
included
Ajaz
bhai's
entire
house,
Houseboat's
kitchen
and
everything
(at
least
loss
of
1
cr
to
Ajaz
bhai
himself
and
50Cr
of
loss
all
put
together).
Despite
this
huge
catastrophe
Ajaz
bhai
never
let
this
affect
our
trip.
We
were
put
in
Apple
Orchard
resort
for
two
night
with
food
and
everything
till
all
the
facilities
were
restored
in
houseboat
and
then
for
the
last
night
we
were
transferred
to
his
HB.
Even
on
that
day
he
made
us
dine
in
Stream
(one
of
the
best
restaurant
in
Srinagar-
around
Boulevard
road).
The
houseboat
was
just
amazing
but
the
hospitality
and
care
we
were
given
no
word
is
enough
to
thank
him
despite
his
own
losses.
A
very
very
special
mention
to
Tariq
Bhai
(our
driver
to
entire
trip)
who
took
care
of
us
like
his
own
family,
guided
us
till
we
checked
in
to
Airport
We
as
Chatterjee
family
can
blindly
recommend
to
everyone
to
Ajaz
Bhai
of
Chicago
Houseboat.
The
Houseboat
is
impeccable,
Gulzar
bhai
was
such
a
humble
man
who
took
care
of
us
on
the
last
night
(despite
November
cold
Houseboat
was
better
than
even
any
5
star
comfort
and
that
too
when
his
all
resources
were
razed
to
ground
in
fire)
but
above
all
Ajaz
bhai's
hospitality
is
something
I
had
never
ever
felt
in
my
life
where
as
I
had
travelled
across
India
and
World.
Ajaz
Bahi,,
May
Almighty
give
you
back
everything
that
you
had
lost.
My
whole
hearted
thanks
and
gratitude
to
you
