09.06 | Happy Birthday to the incredible Anoushka Shankar.
I was watching what I like to call the "fam jam" scene of E8 (apparently a bunch of it was cut out. rude) and paused here. Thought it was a sarod, got very excited. Decided to double check and not be overconfident. My excitement doubled.
This was well over a month ago when the piece had its genesis, seeds were planted, call it what you wish.
Cut to earlier this month. The Desi LGBT Fest is announced, I realise day 9's prompt fits far too well. Though I must stress, 'Rise' was not written for the fest in the least.
(make of that what you will, moderators, do with this post what you wish! thank you for organising this all the same!)
Only get to working on this a few days ago.
Become utterly drawn into the world of Hindustani Music and introspect a great deal while I'm at it.
And voila, this takes form.

The 60th Miss International: Whose crown is it to lose?
I will cut to the chase. The 60th Miss International is a neck and neck battle between Tatiana Calmell del Solar of Peru and Hannah Arnold of the Philippines. The way I see it, they both exude the brand’s template and would do wonders for the organization should either of them become the successor of Sireethorn Leearamwat.

Last night, I was literally glued to my laptop screen for over three hours watching a ping-pong match in Georgia between Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker. By the time the race was finally called (the better candidate did win, in case any don’t know yet) at around 10:30, I was exhausted and my eyes felt like sandpaper, for I didn’t even blink much! So, long story short, today’s ‘good people’…

Ilma Afroz, Daughter Of a Farmer, Left Her Job In Abroad To Serve The Country
There are two common dreams among Indians. One is to head abroad for a better living, and the second is to crack the UPSC examination and join the government service.
Ilma Afroz fulfilled both. She studied at a prestigious university in the UK and cracked the UPSC exam to serve the nation.
If you are born with a boon to change the world, you will eventually find a way to fulfill it. Being a girl and coming from a small village, losing her father at a young age, and fulfilling her dreams while facing her struggles is something that Ilma Afroz did.
Being the right student since childhood and carrying an ambition, she made the country proud by clearing the UPSC examination and becoming an astute IPS (Indian Police Service) officer.
Mad4India brings an affirmative and stirring story of Ilma Afroz, who quit her job abroad and came back to serve her nation.
Ilma Afroz’s journey
Hailing from Kundark town in Moradabad district, Uttar Pradesh, and being the daughter of a farmer, Ilma Afroz...
As I’m drawing Jackson, I have a problem of drawing short hair, style, eyes, short hair, because most of the time I draw Afroz, curly hair and straight hair fucks me up. It’s so difficult to draw straight hair because it looks so flat and boring.
So I’m drawing Jackson with long braided hair, just because I can just because I hate how he looks like with long, short hair and I feel like the long hair suits the drawing anyways. Thank you for listening to my fucking TEDTalk.
This song will always and forevermore belong to Isla, you and Sam. I promise you, I haven't (and quite honestly) could not listen to the song as I wrote. You are so loved and cherished and we miss and love you endlessly.
Fly high, dear boy <3
Alright, so, what I mean by this is I have written this piece from a place of incandescent fury, grief and an unfathomable level of disbelief. Did I mention rage? Well, yes.
As it so happens, all the Manzoors' LIF pieces are connected. Similarly, Suhani and Veer's will be connected, as they're blood family.
There are many vigorous nods, as it were to the brilliant @zeesqueere 's equally (obviously) incredible series installment for Yusuf. It has also been linked in my piece. My endless gratitude remains.
So, I'll try to keep this brief. I wrote Faruq's on the date my friend and I got tickets to see Hozier back in March of 2023. I wrote Saba's piece with the core integration of Anoushka Shankar's "Land of Gold". Faruq's "Foreigner's God" and this album are intrinsically linked.
I'd in fact chosen "ATE" as Afroz's song in April of last year - there are memos for this series everywhere you can think of - but as things go, the execution has changed. Her companion installment will be the second chapter of this piece - I have no wish to further isolate these characters.
Incidentally and beautifully so, I had the privilege of seeing Anoushka Shankar in concert last month and her set had a Land Of Gold sweep (naturally) so my mind went to Saba's piece. And then, as you'll see in this playlist:
"Ishq" and "Secret Heart" were played in succession with an incredible transition/ bridge. Yet, it all slammed into place today morning, devastatingly so. I apologise for any incoherence in this piece but I cannot remedy it.
My parting message for this is:
Protect Trans Kids. Protect Trans Lives. Protect Queer Lives.
