Honoured to be selected for the Ustad Bismillah Khan Yuva Puraskar 2025 in Folk Theatre by SNA, Ministry of Culture,GOI. This recognition strengthens my commitment to preserving, promoting, and carrying forward Kashmir's rich cultural heritage and identity through my art.

@rtimuzaffar Absolutely. Kashmir’s gardens are part of our heritage n should be enhanced, not turned into copy-paste models. We are making the same mistake with our art n culture, replacing authenticity with imitation. Development must build on our legacy not erase it. for short term trends.

Proud to be a student of yours @rtimuzaffar sir. You taught us not just how to live, but how to live in harmony with nature. Your wisdom, humility and humanity are truly exceptional. Lots of love and respect.

When artists fall silent a society loses part of its soul. Kashmir’s music, theatre, poetry & storytelling carry our memories, pain and identity.

Supporting our performing artists is not charity, it is preserving the soul of Kashmir.
Thank you @parawahid bhai.

#WATCH: Pulwama : When a language fades, a culture whispers—but Tulkul by Rayees Waathori turns that whisper into a roar. Art doesn’t just survive; it revives, reclaims, and refuses to be forgotten - @parawahid

Design today extends far beyond aesthetics, it is a powerful tool for solving real world challenges.
Thanks @Anantuniv for connecting me with the world of design.
