Mr. Zubair Ahmed makes car with snow: A Kashmiri sculpture on innovation!

If a diamond is the girl's best friend, the mean machine i.e. a car is a man's first choice. With the winter creating magic this year and people going inside their quilt after many years as till last year the winter was not that cold, Kashmir has come back again with the better snowfall. The weather does never create any havoc in Kashmir at least it keeps the tag of the Paradise on Earth to be intact but for a few occasions.
The solemn people who have seen many vibes in their life are all geared up with showcasing the skills such as ice-hockey and ice-skating but Mr. Zubair Ahmed makes a car with snow: A Kasmiri sculpture on innovation which has taken the man many years ahead and given reprieve to animals who use to take much of the load.
The locals are enthusiastic about the snow car and it has certainly made head's turn as people who love snow and understand the value of making a valuable sculpture out of it certainly know the kind of labor and pain it takes in doing so.
The youth all over India has all kinds of energy in them but the fact is that one gets into any illegal activity or does something wrong only when he or she gets more in terms of money. If money is the biggest leveler then it is the biggest spoiler as well and that makes anyone understand through a country which is China that in spite of moving towards a number one status and going to topple the U.S.A it never asks it's money or currency value to be ranked as number 1.
Now, getting back to the Ice and Snow sculpture festival the boy called Mr. Zubair Ahmed says enthusiastically that he can even build a Taj Mahal out of the snow which is a new way for the youth to discover the new energy in them. Such kind of snow sculptures is part of the snow festival all over the world including China which is at Harbin International China Festival.
Such snow festivals are appreciated but certainly, local Kashmiri youth should take chance to hone their skills into it and if they find that there was an event held which was Asia's first-ever Snow sculpture festival at Gulmarg, Kashmir in the year 2014. At that year the artists work for 28 days in freezing temperatures to build huge sculptures including 30 feet.
The artists worked for almost 28 days in freezing temperature to prepare huge sculptures
 including 30 feet Kashmiri Samawar, Child -cradle, horse, igloo, snow guitar, Kangri, fish, and 30 feet vintage car.

"Minister for Tourism, G A Mir on the occasion said the purpose of the festival was to attract more tourists during the winter season in Kashmir and to encourage young Kashmiri artists. Minister appreciated the role played by young local artists to showcase their talent while chiseling out wonderful sculptures out of snow heaps. The artists were arranged locally not only to depict local cultural articles for the event but to generate interests among them for participating in such events, which can help them to generate economy and to boost the tourism industry."

So, one could understand that now since Kashmir is on the path of better thought process and certainly they can give a better future to their state after helping themselves with three zones which are Kashmir, Jammu, and Leh-Ladakh, hopefully, if they become harbinger of peace and prosperity and give respect to their culture they could certainly change their future or else money does not make you but your zeal makes you which is not only about sculptures but lot more can be done by their own efforts!
