Middle East Crisis is Human Calamity!

Hope the sanity will prevail

By: Kashoo Tawseef

When one looks at the history, war is not a solution and war has never been a solution to any problem in the world. It has only brought death and destruction and more importantly increased the sales of fancy artillery and weaponry in the form of fighter jets like F-16’s and F-17’s worth millions. These days world is witnessing another war in the Middle East, earlier it used to be outsiders bombing Middle East, but this time its the neighbouring country bombing another sovereign country and ironically, that too a Muslim nation bombing another Muslim nation. Some analysts have called it ‘Saudi adventurism’ in the Middle East. One has to be careful in expressing their views with respect to this situation before getting labeled. 

Poem

I’m Occupation I’m Occupation!

By: Kashoo Tawseef

Some call me, incursion, others invasion.

But I’m Occupation I’m Occupation!


Some call me, conquest, others control of territory.

But I’m occupation I’m occupation!

Book Review: ‘Melancholy’ Story

By: Kashoo Tawseef

The book is about art, love, culture, nostalgia and it’s about Kashmir. The Book of Gold Leaves is the second book by the author after The Collaborator. The book gives an in-depth detailed account of daily life in a Kashmiri household and neighbourhood in the 90's usually called the dark days of Kashmiri history. It talks about the natural beauty of Kashmir, the lakes, water bodies and streams and how that are endangered and some have changed into habitation disturbing the ecosystem considered as one of the reason for the recent floods that devastated the whole infrastructure and left hundreds homeless. The book makes the reader feel like walking through the war-torn alleyways of Valley once as beautiful as paradise.
