Morning Walk at Dal Lake: A Kashmiri’s Secret to Health & Happiness! Farooq Ahmed from Nishat is a regular morning walker and bike rider at Dal Lake, Srinagar. We were born in Kashmir and that is the greatest blessing from Allah, said Farooq. Emperor Akbar had said that if there is heaven anywhere in the world, then it is here, it is here, it is here. Exercise should be done on a daily basis, Farooq added. I tell the youth to come out of their house in the mornings. Too much sleeping is not good. Enjoy the clean air and keep yourself healthy. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Do not look at your mobiles for long. It emits radiation. Younsters should not keep sitting at home, it creates stress, that was the advice coming from the morning walker. I have been granted good health by the grace of Allah and I shall continue to walk till death, mark my words, said the elderly gentleman Farooq Ahmed going around the Dal Lake in Srinagar.
