Already 8 hours and 45 minutes into my latest hunger strike. This time it is a bit different. I am not alone and not even the first to conduct this particular hunger strike.
I am the third and I started 5 hours later than them. Ayaz Butt began his hunger strike in jail yesterday at 1400hrs and he was joined outside by Zubair Bhatti at the same time. The latter has also been conducting a sit-in protest on behalf of Ayaz Butt at Abshaar Chowk, since the 25th of June.
I joined them in the evening at 1900hrs.
I did try to sleep at 2000hrs and didn't fair too badly, even though I've been lying on a simple floor mat on the street at Abshaar Chowk. That is, until the heavens burst with rain at c. 0200hrs.
At almost 0400hrs it is still raining, less intensely though.

:آبشار چوک کوٹلی اور ڈسٹرکٹ جیل میں جاری بھوک ہڑتال کے دو بڑے مطالبات ہیں
1)
ایاز بٹ کی غیر مشروط اور باعزت رہائی۔اس گرفتاری کے بارے دو مختلف جج صاحبان نے 4 جولائی اور 26 جولائی 2025
کو سر اجلاس رولنگ دی ہے کہ یہ مقدمہ بنتا ہی نہیں۔ جب مقدمہ نہیں بنتا تو بندہ جیل میں کیوں؟
2)
آزاد جموں و کشمیر کی حکومت سے عوام کو ضمانت چاہیے کہ آئندہ کسی ریاستی کی تقریر و تحریر، نقل وحرکت کرنے، تنظیم سازی، اجتماع سازی اورجہاں مقامی قوانین ناکافی ہوں وہاں بین الاقوامی قوانین تک رسائی پر کوئی بیرونی، غیر قانونی ،غیر آئینی حوالداری مداخلت نہیں کی جائےگی۔

Here's another important life anecdote from Quora:
A giant ship's engine broke down and no one could repair it, so they hired a Mechanical Engineer with over 30 years of experience.
He inspected the engine very carefully, from top to bottom. After seeing everything, the engineer unloaded his bag and pulled out a small hammer.
He knocked something gently. Soon, the engine came to life again. The engine has been fixed!
A week later the engineer mentioned to the ship owner that the total cost of repairing the giant ship was $20,000.
"What?!" said the owner.
"You did almost nothing. Give us a detailed bill."
The answer is simple:
Tap with a hammer: $2
Know where to knock and how much to knock: $19,998
The importance of appreciating one's expertise and experience...because those are the results of struggles, experiments and even tears.
If I do a job in 30 minutes it's because I spent 20 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.
