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.
