Growing up as a Kashmiri in Australia

The community is very close and I have found my best friends here. We share laughs, good times, and good fun. The Iftaar’s together on a freezing night while all of us are in our pherens playing games near the heater is one of the things I enjoy the most. I enjoy being part of the Kashmiri community here in Australia as together we go on trips like in 2018 the Kashmiris of Melbourne and Sydney went to Jindabyne and had a really fun time, not only were we participating in the fun activities but kids also had the opportunity to play in a Kashmiri quiz all together which was very enjoyable! I’m so happy that I get to be a part of this community.
