My mother and the rest of the women with her at Pratab Park, most of whom are highly educated and professionalized, have been taken to Central Jail, Srinagar. They have been put behind bars for the sin of attempting to peacefully protest the strong-armed methods of the GOI.

As we get older, we recognize the importance of family.
I am glad I was able to get the brood together this afternoon.
We reminisced about the good times and the bad, remembering to count our blessings.
And I, for one, always enjoy hosting my family!

Whatever happens, my father will always walk beside me for as long as I live. And I will not let him down---not today, not ever. I will make sure, to the best of my ability, that everyone dear to him is looked after exactly as he wants.
May God in his wisdom do what is best!

Of my mother’s three brothers, the oldest, Uncle Farooq, was my father’s favorite.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Kashmir was a coveted destination for Bollywood producers, directors, and actors. I am sharing a picture of Bollywood icons, Vinod Khanna, Hema Malini, and Randhir Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor's older brother), with my mother, her older sister, and me.

You lived life king size, Faisal, and your funeral cortège was fit for a king.
You always aspired to make it big, and your funeral procession bore testimony to the status you had attained by dint of your hard work.
You live through your family and always will.

In 1981, a few months before he passed away, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah led the congregational Namaz at Eidgah in which people of several and conflicting political and ideological inclinations prayed together.
This was Nana’s last prayer at Eidgah.
