actually sent home minister of a state to jail, all with the power of her reporting. And here, we have people rumbling because of a partial clip. Ironic, because these people often talk about doctored video clips and partial truths on their shows.
A delivery boy called, asked me to collect my parcel from the metro station, which is like a kilometre away from my home."Hum us taraf nahi atay," he told me. "Us taraf" means a Muslim majority area, FYI. Just another day in shitty times like these.
There are days when I can't stop thinking about my mum's colleague who never told her in-laws that Fridays were half-days at school. She would spend that half day shopping, hanging out with friends & just chill. Cute, little revolutionary things women do to reclaim their time!
Next time if you are tempted to say "Kashmiris are hospitable people" & "Kashmir is Paradise on Earth", remember these images, remember these cries and remember how vulturistic you are.
Not sure about that. But Kashmir shifted to day marriages in 90s after army raped a bride and her aunt while the wedding procession was returning at night.
Truck wale ne internet ka cable udaa dia reverse karte karte. How do I explain this to my manager for not being able to work tomorrow without sounding like "homework kutta kha gaya"!!
If u or anyone u knw is in home isolation & infected with Covid & is not in a position to cook, kindly DM. Will drop home cooked food at your doorsteps(free of cost).

Remember how people cheered when Major Gogoi tied a Kashmiri man to the bonnet of his jeep and paraded him through villages? The same people are angry over killing of

Growing up in Kashmir amid mad bullets hasn't been easy. The trauma is collective, yet we try to be the best of ourselves. Seeing all the hate online, I am proud to say that we turned out to be better human beings despite the torture we have been subjected to. (Thread)
Dear recruiters, if you are rejecting a candidate, write them a mail. Don't abandon them. We are a generation of ghosted people. We need no more ghosting, we deserve proper closures from you end at least. Thanks.
I respect
@gautam_adani
for the way he has refused to let adversity get the better of him.
I know him as a great human being who is deeply respectful of diversity in the society and wants to see India on the top.
I wish him the best as he and his family face this trial by fire.
Bubble of ignorance, women wear clothes of their choice here. 'Hizab' is as much a choice as any other western outfit. Take your 'bravery' and exoticism to some other place. You lived a life of ignorance and denial doesn't mean people in Kashmir live by your perspective.

When the driver shows left indicator but turns right:
"The suddeness of the move, the unexpected nature of the move, the sheer unpredictability of the move."
Imagine being a Muslim and seeing the venom of hate being spewed everyday. It is everywhere. Morning walks, family gatherings, casual conversations, formal events, social media. The hate is all around. And you never know what happens next (or we know, already).
Kashmir is back to August 2019 kind of incommunicado. BSNL, landlines snapped too. Other mobile and internet networks were already defunct since midnight.
(1/n) Dear colleagues in media, today in Delhi, the national capital, one of our fellows was sexually harassed and physically assaulted by a mob of blood thirsty men in North East Delhi where she had gone for reporting with two more reporters. A man exposed his genitals at her,
Having seen interfaith marriages closely enough, I know how differently people behave when it is a woman marrying outside her religion and when it is a man who marries outside the religion.
Sab bakwas hai, bas internalised misogyny aur sexism ke alag alag degrees hain.

2 Who convinced young boys and girls to suddenly get offended by hijabs, do hooliganism, rather than focus on impending college exams?
3 Who prompted them to show their bigoted, brainwashed selfs?

2. Who convinced young girls to suddenly hide their bodies, fight for religion, rather than focus on impending college exams?
3. Which outfit knew Hindus will likely react and turn it communal?
4. When are elections due in Karnataka?

Afghanistan Envoy Tahir Qadiry: It is great to come to Kashmir,its good to see the 'mehman nawaz' ppl of Kashmir.We have been here only a couple of hours but can see shops open, children going to school etc. Met civil society members also,they really want peace in Kashmir.
2134 (out of 3164 cases in J&K) is huge fr a small place like Kashmir. We're a God forsaken lot who we can be booked under PSAs & UAPAs for demanding healthcare. Everything else can wait, prioritise the health of ur kin first. Can't afford to overburden the existing healthcare.
Has anyone of them found their PhD topic in Hyderpora killings yet? When are they landing in Kashmir to live with the families to know their pain and also upload beautiful reels from Dal?
My grandfather tested positive for Covid few weeks back. Chest X-Ray showed pneumonia & he was put on oxygen support. After spending one day and a night in the hospital and seeing failure of basic hygiene (not talking about covid SOPs), my uncles spoke to the docs (1/n)

2 yrs ago, on that horrifying day in August, I, like hundreds of others, found ourselves alienated, vulnerable and broken in a huge city away from home. We had no clue what's happening back home, to convince ourselves that our folks would be fine was difficult
Sorry I have to do this. But
@dna
, here's a homework for ur desk: Go through the social media handles of women who have been named in Bulli Bai. See if it matches ur featured image. Then, ask yourself why did you use this image. Write down your reasons.
Not in the right space to tolerate any "you are kashmiri. How come you are feeling cold?" remarks. I can't explain in exact words but there is something very uncomfortable about

The 'suspicion' began with the food in the fridge and has come down to identity now.

, great job. Thanks for not mincing any words to define the current situation of things.
So, the cops first clicked the child crying over the grandfather's dead body and then rescued him from getting caught in the cross fire?

It's 2021. Kashmiris are being picked, killed. Families are crying for answers. World chooses to look the other way. A bunch of jokers will pose in the white snow and tell everyone how beautiful the Valley is, but will not look at the river of blood flowing beneath that snow.
The phone slipped and the tweet got posted.
The phone slipped again and his profile changed into a fake Pakistani account. The phone slipped yet again and the older tweets got deleted.
We Kashmiris use measured words on phone. Our parents don't want to listen to any NEWS from us on phone for the fear of repercussions. But here! I see utterly hateful messages being sent to fellow Kashmiris where they are abused and threatened with consequences like LYNCHING.

appreciation post. The kind of work he's doing is amazing, helping stranded Kashmiri students and labourers to reach home, helping patients. One among few who has put social media to right use.
*Men called out for rape, molestation and harassment*
Enablers: first of all 'not all men'. Secondly, he was drunk. Thirdly, she was drunk. Fourthly, what was she wearing? Fifthly, what was the time? And the latest in the list is: her social media account is public.

Filing a complaint. Asked him his name. He said Ashraf. Checked on Truecaller, turned out something totally different. He actually considered using a Muslim name to get away with it.
A year ago when things were comparatively "normal", we had offices to go to and office washrooms that had huge mirrors for selfies.

Journalists like you are used to guided tours along the Dal where you can enjoy icecreams and capture the aesthetics. Rest everything else in Kashmir is incriminating, including people's offices.

It's my aunt's mehandi, we're all excited but something happens. Elders are talking in hushed up voices. One of the bride's cousin is widowed after a blast killed her husband. She was married few years ago. Her son is few months old. The celebrations fade into mourning.
August 2019 is my biggest mental health trigger. Paranoia, foreboding, anxiety, fear. I shudder at the thought of that night when we wre thrown into the bottomless pit of darkness. If you haven't lived thay night of August 5, don't bother to lecture me on topics like development
