This book would not have been possible without the help of these people. My big thank you to:
Dr.Zarka Batool- An Angel who came into my life and literally proofread and rewrote the entire book with proper kashmiri pronunciation. I simply cannot thank her enough.
Tabish Qadri- For sharing her mom’s precious wanvun notebook sheets with me. Huge thank you to her wonderful mom.
Kousar Reshi- For sharing lyrics of many Kashmiri wanvun songs whenever I asked for them.
Dr.Rozina Shah- For sharing her part of compiled wanvun with me at a wedding last year.
