From Express tribune with some editing
Conflict isn’t the only thing common toIndia and Pakistan. We are just like neighbours who might quarrel but always have each other’s back.
We are like neighbours who may not be too happy with the noisy parties the other throws but who would still like to be a part of each other’s happiness.
This article is an attempt to focus on the everyday, the little things which unite us as a people.
Forgive me if I come across as stating the obvious. But sometimes, the best of us tend to forget the obvious. And then it’s always good to remember, and to remind
You can’t tell the landscape of one from the other at times
Rocky, steep mountains which stand tall amidst azure streams, upon which frothy white clouds breathe, are a common sight in both countries. A visual treat fit for a traveller’s dreams.
We know our real wealth lies in the luscious, green lands
Though technological advancements have touched our lives, we continue to worship the land which sustains us. Such is the beauty of our fields that a stroll through the green countryside can drive away the worst worries from one’s life.
Cricket is not just a sport for us
The sport is a major issue of contention between our countries. But doesn’t our shared love for cricket bring us closer?
Our trucks can put the ‘Pimp My Ride’ team to shame
From couplets to wisecracks, anything and everything can be spotted adorning the trucks on the road. The splash of colour is proof of our ingenuity and affinity for art.
We love to shake a leg
Many a times, what can’t be expressed through words, is better expressed through actions. And dance is the most tasteful collection of gestures. Both India and Pakistan have been blessed with varied dance forms which are beautiful, scintillating and amazingly expressive.
Our voices are not drowned out in the streets
Meandering through the streets, one can come across the varied expressions of identity that the people indulge in. What meets the eye is a voice which is slowly, but surely building anidentity.
Tragedy has visited us uninvited
Sorrow knows no name, no creed. Both the countries and their citizens have had to face several tragedies. Earthquakes, floods, terrorist attacks are instances which have seen the countries and their citizens stand together.
Selflessly serving the country is duty for us
A soldier, be it from India or Pakistan, chooses the needs of the country over him/herself. And in return asks for nothing.
