We were having a picnic in a field in the outskirts of Islamabad. I flew my drone to capture the sunset. A kid came running from a farm house near by with a plate of hot pulao. A peace offering in return for letting the kid look at the drone. His mum came and invited us for chai indoors.
Aese he hain humare log. Jab log bolte hain awaam aesi ho gee to leaders bhe badmaash milain gay, I think of strangers like that woman, her small boy, and that plate of delicious, warm chawal.
