Nasim Fekrat
Sometimes you happen on interesting sites by accident and you want to point them out. I want to point out this one, belonging to Nasim Fekrat.
My name is Nasim Fekrat and I’m 25 years old. I born in the land of pain and injustice. Whatever I want for myself, I wish for the others. I write from Kabul. I write what I see and what I hear. I am the winner of the in 2005 Freedom of Expression Blog Awards of RSF (Reporters without Borders) – France among seven Bloggers throughout the world. I am obviously a defender of freedom of expression and independent media free of threats and intimidation. I want to highlight the problems of my society in an independent manner, without fear and in a non-partisan manner in regards any group or political interest in Afghanistan.
Go, Nasim. Best of luck.

Re: Photograph
Look at the men (in almost normal attire) in the background, going about their daily business – while in comparison, the hunched woman (on very fashionable pavement)is in full length (from head to toe) caged dress.
I find this type of clothing very spooky. It is obviously a throw-back from the past. I am sure little Afghan children must also feel the same way.
Afghanistan despite everything is still a very cold/ austere place to live.
The photpographs on the site of the young journalist write a thousand words.
