| This concerns a conversation on visiting Wular Lake, the largest lake in India and the second largest lake in Asia. It is about thirty miles from Srinagar. |
Ashok: Greetings, Mohan. How are you? 
Mohan: Greetings, I'm fine. How are you? Did you finish sight-seeing in Kashmir? Where are you planning to go now? 
Ashok: I am thinking of going to Wular lake. What do you say? 
Mohan: Before leaving Kashmir, you should definitely go to see Wular Lake. 
Ashok: Yes, everybody says the same thing. How does one go there, and how long does it take? 
Mohan: From Srinagar one goes by bus to Sopore, and from Sopore one goes by boat. 
Ashok: Is there any other way? 
Mohan: Yes, many people go by boat from Srinagar, or (they go) by bus up to Bandipora. 
Ashok: What is Wular Lake famous for? 
Mohan: Wular Lake is the biggest lake in India. It is said that it is the second biggest lake in Asia. 
Ashok: How big is it? 
Mohan: It is fourteen miles long. One cannot see one bank from the other. When it is windy, waves rise from all sides. 
Ashok: How many days does it take to visit Wular Lake? 
Mohan: If you go by bus or car, it will take you just one day. Many people stay there for two or three days, living in a large houseboat near the bank. 
Ashok: No, I do not have that much time. I have to go to Delhi. 
Mohan: Then you should go by bus. 
Ashok: All right, I will do that. I have to get ready. Goodbye. 
Mohan: Goodbye. |
