"In urdu we have a saying: aik lari main pro kay rakhna. Literally translated, it means the string that holds the pearls together. That is what my mother was. She was the string that held our family together. Since her death, the string has been broken and life has not been the same. We feel alone and we feel lost."
- as told by Rafiq ur Rehman, a Pakistani primary school teacher, who lost his mother due to US drone strikes.
a place to share my thoughts, my adventures, with my family and friends, near and far...
