Relief camps of lah

Life is like that ... just the mortal being

Saving a woman and her sweet, little baby

Life saved

And the soil embraced its elements

Bodies kept for identification

The last remains

The pain is writ large on the face

A journey of some sort

Clearing the debris

A war of nerves

Distribution of sleeping bags by jawans

Finding a new desitination

Waiting rudderless at a chhorten (prayer wheel)

ITBP free langar

Muslim women hurrying up to reach a relief camp

With whatever retrieved, a 'home' in rucksack and suitcase, reaching the camp

Stony questions

Jawans helping a last journey

Helping hands in olive

This time it's a belcha fauz, without rifles

Once this was a home

Sil, and the silence

A bagful of memories

A trunk of history

Last-ditch efforts

With five feet of silt filling the room, utensils in
the shelf look untouched, may be someone is buried there
