The late afternoon sun, a bruised orange, bled across the dusty courtyard of a crumbling haveli in Lahore. A woman, perhaps in her late fifties, sat on a low, intricately carved stool, meticulously sorting through a pile of faded photographs.

Rain slicks the stones, reflecting the yellow light in shimmering pools. Two young men, dressed in simple kurtas, sit opposite each other at a tiny, wobbly table. One nervously fiddles with a chipped ceramic cup, his gaze fixed on the other’s hands as they expertly pour steaming chai. There’s a palpable tension in the air, a hesitant energy that vibrates between them. They don’t speak, but the silence is heavy with unspoken words, with a longing that seems to ripple outwards into the damp night. A stray dog curls up near the stall, oblivious to the quiet drama unfolding. ...

A beautiful rendition that captures the hollow feeling of separation.

The heart remembers what the mind tries to forget.
