Riding on hope and history

Hundred and fiftysix years after India got its first train, the Kashmir valley is going to get its maiden train that will chug through the entire 119-km route connecting southern end of Kashmir (Qazigund) with its northern end (Baramulla) when the last 19-km stretch between Anantnag and Qazigund opens soon for passenger use, writes Ehsan Fazili from Srinagar

Star who stays at shelter home
Salim, who starred in Ashwin Kumar’s short film Little Terrorist, prefers staying with his friends at shelter for the homeless, writes Azera Rahman
Sometimes some stories seem right out of a movie script. Salim’s is one of them. With 40 films, including an Oscar-nominated one, under his belt, it’s sheer pleasure to watch this talented 17-year-old perform. Especially among his applauding friends in a shelter for the homeless, which has been his home for the last one decade.
