We apologise for this democratic interruption. Normal martial law will be resumed shortly. March 21, 2011. The Bangladesh Diaries – II. So I wrote a short piece about my visit to the Liberation War Museum for Express Tribune:. My tour guide turns to me, You tell me, how can we forgive or forget this? You can read the entire article here. You can see the rest of the pictures from the museum here. Maybe read a bit of alternative history as opposed to the one they’ve been subjected to? Next post →.

We apologise for this democratic interruption. Normal martial law will be resumed shortly. The Bangladesh Diaries – I. February 20, 2011. Its only when you fly across India to get to Bangladesh [formerly East Pakistan], that you realize how cruelly the lines that partitioned the Subcontinent had been drawn. Who, in their right mind, would believe that a country could be governed when it was split apart or as Rushdie describes it, a moth-eaten country. You can see the rest of the pictures from Dhaka here.

We apologise for this democratic interruption. Normal martial law will be resumed shortly. June 13, 2011. Everyday is a winding.wait, what? In May, I went to Chicago to cover the first week of the Tahawwur Rana trial, and discovered how the city can rapidly change in terms of weather, and one must always be well-prepared. No, seriously, you try braving the cold [read: rain, fog and winds at the same time] of Chicago clad in one measly sweater as protection. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window).

We apologise for this democratic interruption. Normal martial law will be resumed shortly. August 14, 2011. I don’t think we’re in Karachi anymore. I have a piece of stale barfi in my fridge. Four months away from home changes everything. A few months ago, I read this blog post. It seems crazy, right? Why would anyone, in a city in a first world country, forego sleep and the benefits of a thriving nightlife, and sit at home and watch a cricket match?

Speechless in Karachi | Huma Imtiaz
https://humaimtiaz.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/speechless-in-karachi
We apologise for this democratic interruption. Normal martial law will be resumed shortly. March 7, 2011. This morning I woke up, remembered Shahbaz Bhatti was dead all over again, and was quite looking forward to spending my day in a good, old fashioned funk. Then, I saw this on a pole in Zamzama, Karachi:. I actually don’t know what to say, or think. Does one laugh at and admire the creativity of this man? Or does one just sit down and sob about what this generation is up to in their spare time? That u...
