And finally, we have the war they've all been salivating for. This is a direct consequence of the US's shameful funding, cheering and defence of Israel's genocide in Gaza over the last 12 months. The world will never forget what happened.

Yasin Zohra (Zohra saeeb), the flag bearer (alambardar) at Khanqah-i Mualla. In the 19th century (if not earlier), a tradition of marching from Srinagar to Char-i Sharif evolved. The procession was led by a person holding an alam (flag)- invariably an elder of the Zohra family.

Seeing the ill-proportioned achkan worn by Umar Abdullah at his oath-taking ceremony- simply could not resist this. How you do an achkan- the person in the image, incidentally also a Umar, is a dear friend and colleague (& an urban designer). The pic is from his wedding, Mubarak!
