birthday celebrations and a living room art party

02 Jul, 2011

Today is Ammi’s birthday, and she receives three streams of visitors who bring cake, flowers and other treats.

At night we drop by for a late tea at Asif and Seemi Farrukhi’s home and experience a living room art moment when poet Zehra Nigah reads an essay about Indian visual artist M.F. Hussain who passed away a week ago. She also reads her famed poem in honor of a young women who lived despite a growing trend to abort babies based on gender.
