Sind River
The Sind River or the Sindh River Urdu: سندھ ندی Kashmiri: سیندھ is a river in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir state of India. It is a major tributary of the Jehlum River and is 108 kilometres long.
Geography
The Sind River forms the Sind Valley. The source of the river lies in Machoi Glacier at an elevation of 4800 metres, east of Amarnath temple south of Zojila pass. It flows through Panjtarni (a camping site of Amarnath yatra) southwards up to Domail where it joins a tributary which doubles its flow from Kolhoi Glacier. It flows mostly westwards along with NH 1D and is fed by many glacial streams on its way to Ganderbal town. At Kichpora Preng it is fed by Wangath river which flows down from the Gangabal Lake. The major tributaries of the river are:
It is navigable from Ganderbal town onwards as the waterflow slows down. It joins the Jehlum River at Shadipora. 17 kilometres northwest from Srinagar city. The Sind River passes through a famous alpine hill station Sonamarg where river rafting tournaments on the river are being organised yearly by the Tourism Department of Jammu and Kashmir. It is the only river in Jammu and Kashmir on which three hydroelectric power plants are functional. The waters of the river are used for irrigation by way of different canals and for domestic use after going through water treatment plants.

Sunday Driver
by: CorriesWell, I’ve been a Sunday driver noo for many’s a happy
year
And I’ve never had my Morris Minor oot o' second gear
I can drive at 15 miles an hour on motorway or track
Wi' my wife up front beside me and her mother in the
back
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums ... and
Auntie Jean
In a crowd of fifty trippers, you can always pick me
For my “Don’t blame me, I voted Tory” sticker on the
boot
With my bunch of heather stickin’ in my radiator grill
And my stick-on transfer bullet holes and license for
to kill
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums ... and
Auntie Peg
I’ve a hundred plastic penants for to tell you where
I’ve been
And my steering wheel is clad in simulated leopard skin
Up front from the driving mirror hangs a plastic
skeleton
And in the back a dog with eyes that flicker off and on
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums ... and
Auntie Mae
Always drive as though my foot was resting on the brake
And I weave aboot the road just so you canna over take
I can get you sae frustrated that you’ll finish up in
tears
And the sound of blaring motor horns is music to my
ears
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums ... and
Auntie Liz
Roy Williamson : Loze ... Liz
Ronnie Brown : she comes next
Roy Williamson : Oh, she comes next
Now, if you wonder how these weekly trips I can afford
It’s because I’m on a stipend from the Scottish Tourist
Board
You’re supposed to enjoy the scenery, the finest o'
it’s kind
And that is why you have convoy following behind
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums ... and
Auntie Rose
There's just no way of escaping me, no matter how you
seek
For the simple fact's that I'm a traffic warden through
the week
I'm boosting my efficency, and here's my master plan
I'm saving up my pennies for to buy a caravan
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums and
Auntie Gertrude
There was me and my daddy and my daddy’s mammy
And her sister’s granny and four of her chums ...
