A tribal Gujjar Woman, Kashmir

December 12, 2010 Leave a Comment

Age is more than just a number. Its about what life has taught you , what you have learnt & how you dealt with it. This tribal Gujjar woman came begging to my door for rice or some money. I agreed to give her some money in return of a photo. I couldnt help but wonder how beautiful she must have been in her youth

Each line on her face seems to bear witness to the years she has lived. Smiling mouth with some sort of saddness in her eyes..A modern Monalisa’s smile indeed

born in kashmir,i spent most of my time witnessing the mayhem that has become a part of kashmiri life by now-crackdowns,cross firings,fake encounters,custodial killings et al.in this environment death doesnt seem too scary a thought,given that we had to face it daily back then the thoughts that where oscillating in my mind had no vent,now i guess i can think aloud,talk,opinate & comment. i am a kashmiri by birth & a civil engineer by choice. beyond this simplifying myself into words would be too belitling for me.why dont you make your own opinion of my writings to gauge who i really am..good luck
