I have a copy of Dil Mera Balakot that was given to me during my reent press trip to the earthquake affected regions. Unfortunately my Urdu is really rudimentary so it’s difficult for me to read.

I brought it in the hope that somebody might want to translate it into English; I think documenting the narratives of this event is very important and we would be doing an injustice to history if we didn’t try.

Let me know if you want a copy; maybe I can try to photocopy it for you. You can reach me at ambreen221@hotmail.com.

Any statement would sound like a cliche here. How do you cure the sorrow seen in the first picture? I mean, literally, is there anything that could wipe off those tears?

Both pictures are powerful here. the one at the top is just makes you stop and think. but I also really liek the ront page of Dawn and the headline there.
