A couple of months ago, I read this wonderful book "The Dressmaker of Khair Khana." It was a courageous tale of a woman (eventually a group of women) who survived in the most unreal circumstances by sheer determination, grit and tons of courage.
The book made me think about the life that real people live behind those rugged mountainous terrain shrouded by the smoke of war. In short, the book had piqued my interest in the subject of Afghanistan and its people and since then I have been trying to read, watch and see anything that talks to me about Afghanistan through its people, who still have needs and desires, dreams and hopes just like us.
And in the last one week itself, I have come across this wonderful FRONTLINE documentary "Opium Brides," which I think has drawn some inspiration from the book "Opium Nation" by Fariba Nawa and just today, while working on a story I found this incredible project by David Gill - "Kabul A City At Work."
And I am game for more. Any good suggestions?
