SOCIETY: THE BURNT OUT ENDS OF SMOKY DAYS

Dawn — On a cold, rainy night in Peshawar, an earthy aroma wafts out of a boy's hostel room. Inside, the room is full of smoke and dimly lit. A classical Pashto song is softly playing in the background, while a heater in the corner of the room provides warmth to the six young men who sit in a circle without sweaters or jackets.

A decade on, Kurram ghost villages still waiting for their occupants to return

Tribal News Network — ‘You cannot trust the weather and Kurram’s situation.’ This local idiom describes the volatility of the Kurram district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where those who fled the 2007 vortex of sectarian killings between Shia and Sunni Tribesmen still refuse to return as they fear the conflict could break out again at any time. As the sectarian strife intensified, 38 villages were either razed to the ground or their residents fled in fear and panic, leaving behind their homes and farms to divine providence.

CULTURE: THE LAST NOTES OF THE SEHRI DRUM

CULTURE: THE LAST NOTES OF THE SEHRI DRUM

Dawn — Initially, it may be alarming to suddenly be woken up to the sound of a loud dhol (drum) beating in the dead of night, accompanied by a man's chants exhorting people to wake up. But as Ramazan proceeds, one gets quite dependent and a tad amused at this traditional, real-life alarm clock for the pre-fasting meal, still practised in many big and small cities.
