Once I went to Kashmir with my parents. It was covered with snow all around in Gulmarg, and enjoyed walking in the snow early morning. It was a sunny day. Suddenly, I noticed there were some giant footprints at regular intervals. The footprints went up the hill and just vanished. It was not like any animal but rather like some huge human being’s footprint. I thought it might be of a huge bear, but the local people informed us that these footprints were of the people who lived there. Many years ago, some tribal people stayed in the area who had big feet. After hearing this story, I told the villagers that I would bring my friends along to see those footprints.
