Afghanistan

Have been reading "Kite Runner" and am falling in love with Afghanistan. somehow I feel it is one of the most beautiful place in the world, and like all beautiful places is cursed.
And by beautiful places I mean the beauty that haunts one with the sheer magnitude of magnificance and solitude. Places where you feel one with the nature and yet feel very inadequate and insignificant. Beauty that humbles one and puts the perspective of self worth right.
Like Kashmir........
