True Worship There are people who worship Allah to gain His Favours, this is the worship of traders; while there are some who worship Him to keep themselves free from His Wrath, this is the worship of slaves; a few who obey Him out of their sense of gratitude and obligations, this is the worship of free and noble men. Sayings of Imam Ali (A.S.)

DAY 7: Kashmir Paralyzed Date: 8 February 2010 Life in Kashmir remained paralyzed for seventh consecutive day Sunday, with old city under undeclared curfew for the fifth day, while major districts and towns of the Valley observed a complete shutdown against the killing of two Srinagar teenagers for seventh consecutive day today. OLD CITY UNDER SIEGE The old city areas under the jurisdiction of police station Khanyar, Nowhatta, Rainawari, Maharaj Ganj, Safa Kadal and Zaina Kadal continued to be under undeclared curfew on Sunday. Policemen assisted by baton-wielding paramilitary CRPF troopers were deployed in large numbers on the deserted streets to prevent people from venturing out of their homes. All the approach roads leading to these areas were sealed by erecting barricades and laying concertina wires. [courtesy: Greater Kashmir] 2010 News Archives
