Daily Diary (DD) - Day 129 of 2024

1610hrs:

Momentum took me all the way to 0700hrs this morning before I finally fell asleep. I even almost got up for my morning walk at c. 0600hrs but thought better of it as it could have exhausted me for the rest of the day. Instead, I opted to sleep and got up at 1300hrs. It was 6 hours of sleep, an optimum amount but at totally the wrong time of day. Nevertheless, 129 days into the year and we battle on.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 40 of 2022

0159hrs:

Day 21 at Martyr's Square Kotli

Let's begin today by sparing a thought for the other side of the LOC. Indeed, the other side of the proverbial coin:

Release Kashmiri Journalist Fahad Shah Immediately. - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/blaZHl7vEz via @Change I know what he's going through. We can't let #India r #Pakistan take such liberties with our people. Especially those who amplify the 'public reference' promised but never

Let me complete the sentence with the liberty that Twitter strategically doesn't offer.

I know what he's going through. We can't let #India or #Pakistan take such liberties with our people. Especially those who amplify the 'public reference': promised but never delivered by the above or by the original architect, #GreatBritain or by the country that describes itself as the 'People's Republic of #China or by the most evangelical of democracies #USA We bear no grudges but adhere to the Golden Rule “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

End of sentence...

.....

We can slide out of politics and take ourselves back to the drawing board of culture:

 

In line with one of our prime public policy goals in #AJK To revive #Sharda as one of the pre-eminent centres of learning and wisdom in the world. https://t.co/nxGLiUNi3f

Here's the letter for international (and regional) human rights organisations in reference to Malik Waseem:

Update 1600hrs:

The torture being meted out by the AJK administration on Malik Waseem is intensifying:

He was given bail for his cyber crime allegation but instead of being released, he was taken to jail!

'Recharged' under 16 MPO (Maintenance of Public Order) once again! He was already on bail for that charge!

Wow! 

Dear AJK Government! 

You really do think we live in isolation and that there will never be accountability for your crimes. Greed is blind said many a wise man and woman. 

Meanwhile, Malik Waseem has been featured in an anonymous newspaper, which refers to his association with me and the punishment he is facing as a result.

Interaction across the divide and beyond:

 

I think you are acknowledging that legitimate thought and space and we thank you for that. Now, I wonder if a Pakistani of your profession and calibre can donate the same? #IndoPakBilateralism #JKA
