For too long now #Eid has come with heartbreak and anxiety. But like every year, we pause, put our best face on, express gratitude for what we have, and pray for better, fairer, happier times. #EidMubarak (All-dressed-up-nowhere-to-go-selfie. Obviously.)

The only way to get in touch with anyone in Kashmir right now is if you're lucky and they have a BSNL connection. There is no mobile internet. You cant even make a phone call unless you're calling a BSNL number. Imagine the implications of that for a minute.

Doesn’t feel like Eid. Death, loss, separation, injustice, pain, uncertainty. And yet it’s Eid. It might not seem like there’s much to be grateful for, but we’re still here, and we can’t give up on hope. So, #EidMubarak . May this year be better than the last.

India doesn’t allow for dual citizenship. So if someone holds a Canadian passport they can’t hold an Indian passport,right?They can hold an OCI card,which gives you all but political rights (should we call them *non-political* rights?).So you can’t stand for office.Or vote.Ya?
