It's her birthday today …

Sabeen Mahmud

20th June 1974 — 24th April 2015


Sabeen writes her name
Faiz Ahmad Faiz,
a poet that she adored




With a picture of Eqbal Ahmed
a person she admired a lot

She laughed at everything …
… and cried at this!


'Meanderings' was her blog (2003-2007)

They loved each other …
… as did we all love her!
She gave us her greatest gift

and made everyone go crazy about her favourite meal: Aaloo Bun Kabab
Loved Arts and the Artistes
 as well as conversation, music, and books!
And Apple, too.

These were the last two pictures I took of her on the day she was assassinated
1. Announcing the event
2. Closing the event



She was not part of the Baluchistan event at all
but was busy working for
'Dil Phaink'
which she couldn't see in London
but where people loved it and loved her ideas.

This is how I felt at her assassination

Curly lines crossed my mind
Red blotches of her blood were everywhere I looked

The Green showed that there was enough life
in her dead body
that we all looked up to and hopefully will follow.

This is at the square in DHA where she was shot!

She was Herald's Person of the Year

Pakistan Chowk has a bench named after her

Sabeen, you are alive in all our hearts.
