Daily Diary (DD) - Day 195 of 2025
2328hrs:
A thoughtful day in Mirpur. Methodical and inbuilt evolution. Each day opens a new vista.
Kotli is where the gravity is, Mirpur and Poonch will vouch for that.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 193 of 2025
1155hrs:
Now that I have received confirmation today (by phone from the Assistant Commissioner's office, Sehnsa) that my dear paternal uncle (Taya Munshi) has indeed made an application to the Assistant Commissioner (AC), in reference to wanting the endemically corrupt administration of AJK, to assist him in securing his preferred share of the family inherited land of 27 Kanaals (c. 3.4 acres) divided by 3 (brothers), meaning each brother is entitled to a 9 kanaal (c. 1.1 acre) share.
We don't have a problem with his share, we just have a problem with him (Taya Munshi) insisting and conniving with the administration to try and take land which comes in our share, just because some of it happens to coincide with the main road.
He already has land on the main road and has built a number of shops in his share of the land but wants more, at out cost as we are not intent on taking commercial benefit of land that is adjacent to our residence. We just don't need the commotion that commercialism brings to the neighbourhood. We'd rather make effort on restoring nature in our vicinity.
We have to now engage in countering his greed.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 190 of 2025
1114hrs:
From last night I have been taking antibiotics to prepare myself for some long overdue comprehensive dental treatment, some of it pending for almost 3 decades.
This is affecting my ability to work in every sense but it is a necessary part of self-improvement, if not self-preservation.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 188 of 2025
1032hrs:
The beginning of a critical week in relation to the future of this territory, still described as AJK.
District Kotli will have to make the breakthrough.
....
Of course, in all matters related to AJK > JKA, there is always an internal as well as external dimension. The following is one such example:
As mentioned in the letter, this was a response to a request by Quayyum Raja to outline JKA PUBLIC AGENCY's stance on regional efforts for global peace. This request was in turn based on the following statement by Seyed Shahabeddin Tabatabaei, Secretary General of the Nedaye Iranian Political Party. A link to the latter's public statement can be found here .
