After more than five years, my Abu is back to his home, buried in his ancestral graveyard, next to his father. Ya Allah Shukr.

Such a strong tremor in Srinagar. earthquake

@nilanjanaroy Reminds of one of the lectures of my Cinema teacher @_mehmetkopru_ A thought that he spoke about and never left my mind.

"Fiction is that strange, smoky thing that writers don't entirely own, even if they think they do. Where does it come from? Our past, our present, our reading, our imagination — yes. But perhaps from premonitions of our future, too?" ~ Arundhati Roy, Mother Mary Comes To Me

@BandaySaab Drowned.

What happened to the artificial tawi lake?

It doesn’t even take a day from “garam ho” to “taer ho” in Kashmir.

What the hell just happened to the ceasefire? Explosions heard across Srinagar!!!

Heartbreaking. Extremely heartbreaking. Such incidents shatter the core of humanity. #PahalgamTerrorAttack

Quintessential Jammu

Never thought Jammu city will grow on me. Sunset on Tawi.

Driving through dense fog on a freezing winter night, saw a lone food delivery agent braving the cold on his motorcycle, ensuring someone gets their meal. It hit me how these unsung heroes face harsh weather & tough conditions daily, just to make a living. Respect their hustle.

this verse calms my heart

Have written to honourable CM about the sad plight of the families whose members have been arbitrarily dismissed from government services on flimsy grounds without a thorough investigation and fair trial. Hope Omer Sb takes a humanitarian view to alleviate the sufferings of these families .

There is this exceptionally good series on Netflix called “Maid”. The portrayal of levels of abuse against a woman is realistic and brilliantly drawn. High recommend to watch! But it can also trigger!

Two such strong earthquakes back to back. Ya Allah Raham

May the suffering of your hearts heal.

So good that all the good content on internet has disappeared, cuz it finally made me pick up a book to read. After ages, I must say!

Control your tongue. Watch your words before they leave your mouth. Once uttered, it would be hard to retract them. Remember, some wounds even apologies won’t heal.
