At 11.45 p.m. on August 4, 2019, this correspondent got an SMS from a pal in Srinagar. Uncommon, as we generally talked on WhatsApp. Internet was blocked in Kashmir. The reply to the SMS failed to provide. The next morning– August 5— a call to her did not go through. It was suggested to be like this in the Kashmir Valley for days to come.
