The book is 116 pages long. The pages are inked with poems and other things. There are poems about you, me and us. They are about our past dreams, present struggles, and future aspirations. Some are painted with struggles to keep up with the macho and feminine image while others are caramelized with pizza and chocolate cravings that kick in at nighttime. You will read about the struggle of parents after their only daughter gets raped and judiciary lets the rapist escape.

Jammu and Kashmir, 1987. In the hilly village of pathri Aali, where legends appear true, Aslam and ashwar, two young lovers, dream of marriage and of good things of life. But that is not to be. Unable to cope, Aslam leaves pathri Aali forever. Years later, as men migrate to Saudi Arabia for employment, pathri Aali is populated mostly by women and children. Soon they realize the mujahedeen, who guise themselves as their liberators, are the worst perpetrators, and misery seems inescapable. Ashwar refuses to be cowed down by this reign of terror and is determined not to let it devastate the once-peaceful village. The only one she can Bank on is aslam—and she calls out to him across the distance of time and space, to return and live up to the legends of their village. Snakes in the meadows is a saga of the onset of militancy, and the suffering and the resilience of pir panjal—the ‘and’ of Jammu and Kashmir.
