#MirzaSahiban
چڑھدے مرزے خان نوں، متاں دیوے ماں
برے سیالاں دے معاملے، بری سیالاں دی راہ
بریاں سیالاں دیاں عورتاں، لیندیاں جادو پا
کڈھ کلیجہ کھاندیاں، میرے جھاٹے تیل نہ پا

*the milepost outside Danabad, village of Mirza*
ਚੜ੍ਹਦੇ ਮਿਰਜ਼ੇ ਖ਼ਾਨ ਨੂੰ ਮੱਤਾਂ ਦੇਵੇ ਮਾਂ
ਬੁਰੇ ਸਿਆਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਬੁਰੀ ਸਿਆਲਾਂ ਦੀ ਰਾਹ
ਬੁਰਿਆਂ ਸਿਆਲਾਂ ਦਿਆਂ ਔਰਤਾਂ ਲੇਂਦਿਆਂ ਜਾਦੂ ਪਾ
ਕੱਢ ਕਲੇਜਾ ਖਾਂਦਿਆਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਝਾਟੇ ਤੇਲ ਨਾ ਪਾ

*a foggy morning in Khewa, the abode of Sahiban*
گھر کھیوے دے صاحباں، جمی منگل وار
رج دعائیں دتیاں، سوھنئیں پر وار
رل تدبیراں بدھیاں، چھیل ہوئی مٹیار

ਘਰ ਖੀਵੇ ਦੇ ਸਾਹਿਬਾਂ ਜੱਮੀ ਮੰਗਲ ਵਾਰ
ਰੱਜ ਦੁਆਇੰ ਦਿੱਤੀਆਂ ਸੋਹਨਈਂ ਪਰ ਵਾਰ
ਰੱਲ ਤਦਬੀਰਾਂ ਬੱਧੀਆਂ ਛੈਲ ਹੋਈ ਮੁਟਿਆਰ
___
*compound hosting the graves, there now stands a shrine*
گھر ونجھل دے مرزا، جمیا کرڑے بار
جنم دتے مائی باپ نے، روپ دتا کرتار
ایسا مرزا سورما، کھرلاں دا سردار

ਘਰ ਵੰਝੱਲ ਦੇ ਮਿਰਜ਼ਾ ਜੱਮਿਆ ਕਰੜੇ ਬਾਰ
ਜਨਮ ਦਿੱਤੇ ਮਾਈ ਬਾਪ ਨੇ ਰੂਪ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਕਰਤਾਰ
ਐਸਾ ਮਿਰਜ਼ਾ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਖਰਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਸਰਦਾਰ
___
*the graves*
دس مہیناں دا گھیو دتا، بکی دے ڈھڈ پا
بکی توں ڈرن فرشتے، میتھوں ڈرے خدا
چڑھنا اپنے شوق نوں، بکی نوں لاج نہ لا

ਦੱਸ ਮਹਿਨਾਂ ਦਾ ਘਿਓ ਦਿੱਤਾ ਬੱਖੀ ਦੇ ਢਿਡ ਪਾ
ਬੱਖੀ ਤੋਂ ਡਰਨ ਫ਼ਰਿਸ਼ਤੇ ਮੈਥੋਂ ਡਰੇ ਖ਼ੁਦਾ
ਚੜ੍ਹਨਾ ਆਪਣੇ ਸ਼ੌਕ ਨੂੰ ਬੱਖੀ ਨੂੰ ਲਾਜ ਨਾ ਲਾ

___
*Bakki : Mirza's mare
نی توں ویکھ جنڈولہ بار دا، ایہدی کیسی چھاں بنٹریں
تینوں لے چلاں دن ڈیگرے، نی توں دانا باد وڑیں

ਨੀ ਤੂੰ ਵੇਖ ਜੰਡੋਲਾ ਬਾਰ ਦਾ ਐ੍ਹਦੀ ਕੈਸੀ ਛਾਂ ਬਣੀਂ
ਤੈਨੂੰ ਲੈ ਚੱਲਾਂ ਦਿਨ ਡੀਗਰੇ ਨੀ ਤੂੰ ਦਾਨਾਬਾਦ ਵੜੀਂ

___
*The Jand tree of Sandal Bar, the spot where Mirza was killed*

Brave Balochis buried by Valiant Gorkhas
Stories from the 'East'
___
During 1971 war, 2/5 Gorkha Rifles (FF), a decorated regiment of Indian Army fought and earned battle honours Pirganj and Bogra
Upon capturing Pirganj, their forward companies faced a counter attack by 32 Baloch
After the war, an article appeared in The Hindu
One intrepid Pakistani Officer leading a bayonet charge into the guts of 2/5 GR, was slashed with a khukri by an equally brave officer Capt Jatandar Nath Sood
His blood soaked epaulets identified him
Lt Col Raja Sultan
CO 32 Baloch
As his body lowered into the grave, one Gorkha JCO threw in Sultan's badges of rank, looked up towards the heaven and muttered
Let him also know this Sultan Bahadur was a Lieutenant Colonel
Much later Col (R) Itbar Singh, company commander in 1971 would send a letter to Pakistan

ਨਿੱਕੇ ਹੁੰਦਿਆਂ ਸਾਡੇ ਸੀ ਦੋ ਪੰਜਾਬ

روہ نوں کہوہن رہو محمد ہن جے رہوے تے مننا

#KKH
A High Altitude Wonder
and its Master Builders and Martyrs
___
Towards the end of 50s Chinese and Pakistani Engineers started carving a road in Karakoram Mountains, a region with arctic winters and sizzling summers
It took them 20 years and a generation of martyrs

a thread
My fascination with KKH goes back to my childhood and it's not an overstatement
The passion might have been fueled by Pak-China joint teleplays of 80s
Paiman e Wafa and Rishtay aur Rastay
Behroze Sabzwari played an officer of Pak Army Engineers deputed on KKH in the latter
A childhood love affair, a seasoned romance with a wish to reach all the way up north to a place where the land changed nationality
That dream was to realize years later, but much before I eventually took the wheel due north I was on an aerial route to China
and the year was 2004

Outside of the intelligence community, how many average Americans even knew who al-Baghdadi was ?
Just a simple test of public knowledge: How many times during the last few years were there massive reports that the U.S. had "Killed the Number 2 man at ISIS"???
At least twice : In 2016 Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli

Outside the court building in Virginia where Nunes v. Twitter dismissal hearing will be heard this morning. It’s the last in a series of cases to be heard by Judge John Marshall starting at 9:30 a.m.
Here’s a preview of the case: fresnobee.com/news/local/art…
No cell phones allowed out in the courtroom (or even in the courthouse, for the general public). So I’ll be taking notes inside and tweeting any noteworthy details that don’t end up in the story afterwards.

Outside the Old Bailey in London. In just under two hours, a hearing will start to determine whether Tommy Robinson must go through another contempt of court proceeding, which could send him to jail. I’ll be covering the case live.
Crowd of mostly Tommy Robinson supporters gathering outside the Old Bailey.
Here’s the anti-Tommy demonstration.

No evidence: the drug wore off, he used a condom, she woke up confused and drove home after the humiliating conversation. They were friendly the day before and she accepted his offer to stay over instead of taking the road so late. No witnesses. The perfect #crime. #FicFri
Overdose survived. She flirted with him until he invited her over again. She denied him nothing in bed, she was #obsequious. “I’ve got a surprise”, she said, and massaged his feet as he sipped the wine she gave him. He died of sepsis a week later. #vss365 #AmWriting
“He committed #treason against the sacred dojo. He disgraced the sport”, they said. “Perhaps. I am still going to the cremation ceremony. We must protect our art and not speak ill of a dead coach”, she said. “If he has a #soul, it will burn in hell”, they said. #FP #FridayKiss

In Anza Borrego I was pulled over in the middle of the desert by a ranger at night for having my Defender driving lights on. Having spent years exploring the most remote corners, I asked the officer why he had his lights and siren on and he said "I might be going to a rave"
Years ago I had wanted to write a piece for my #NationalGeographic Adventure column about the collapse of the State Park system. They said no one would care. But here is the ugly truth: sandiegouniontribune.com/g00/communitie…
So I was finally able to draw attention to this problem thanks to Wes Siler and #Outside Magazine outsideonline.com/2162971/breaki…

Outside the Border Patrol processing center in McAllen, Texas, where many immigrant children are being taken after they cross border:
Several members of Congress, including US Rep. Brenda Lawrence of metro Detroit, are currently touring the federal processing center in McAllen, Texas, where many immigrant children are taken after they cross the border:
“I want my mommy,” read t-shirts of a group of women from California who traveled to McAllen, Texas, with supplies of clothes and toiletries for immigrant kids separated from parents. They’re outside the Border Patrol center in McAllen, the largest center housing the kids:
