Onaiza Drabu Reminded me of Shanga Bibi alias 'Yawan (from Sanskrit word 'Yuwan' meaning Youth) Maech'; a courtesan who lived during the times of Nund Reshi. It's a legend that she was send by some Brahmins to seduce Nund Reshi who admonished her and guided her to the Reshi order.

Memories of joy in Kashmir, when families packed into tangas, heading out for picnics, young & old, rich & poor, their potluck of dishes & samovars of tea & seemingly boundless open gardens: lovely Onaiza Drabu cntraveller.in/story/kashmir-… Condé Nast Traveler

charhde suraj dhalde wekhe
bujhe dive balde vekhe
heere da koi mul na taare
khotte sikke chalde vekhe

loki kehnde daal na galdi
main te patthar galde wekhe
jinhan qadar na keeti yaar di
haath khaali o' malde vekhe

On International Mother Language Day, Kedarnath Singh does the articulation for us.

There is something to be said about going down with honour.

(That's not my king.)

Thank you for being cheerleader number 1 for sonth.shop ❤️

And yet Yana Mir(chandani) is constantly invited to TV shows to speak as a Kashmiri!

A national treasure will be buried today. His contributions to sharpening Kashmiri identity are immense; poetry, literary criticism, developing an indigenous idiom, distinguishing Kashmiri prosody from Urdu and Persian, founder of department of Kashmiri, endless. RIP Rahi sb!

Cold and frosty mornings beckon some warm spicy notes.

Shamamatul Ambar - a winter scent is quite possibly our favour itr in our collection.

It is made with complex spices and nutmeg as a top note, musk, mace, and patchouli as mid notes and base notes of amber and leather.

Kept company with some greats, these last few days of the year 😍

Getting through the last few days of 2022 with every ounce of sabr we can find!
