Omar v/s Omar
In Kashmir, People, Politics on 11 May, 2010 at 9:57 pmIts been weeks of Sundays since a new post appeared on this blog! Today, I end that hiatus. My next post would be ihrams – a new Kashmir that I see emerging. A Kashmir which is losing touch with reality. And this post, to an extent, is what the people, the politics and the media of Kashmir seem to be focusing on: an internetKashmir. A tabloid version of the Afghanistan.
What exactly is the difference between Omar and Umar – the two OUmars of Kashmir who represent, in reality, nothing. Both love designer labels. One can flaunt it, the other just doesn’t want to (or can’t).
The difference between them: one sports watches…
…the other doesn’t.
And, before I sign off – here is a little something about Umar and Omar:
The Abdullah wears the Hindus sacred thread Mali and Farooq wants to look a lot like his father.
