Meanwhile, Betwa Sharma reports that in Kashmir, the government has been trying to airbrush reality by forcing bus drivers to keep plying their buses and forcing shop keepers to keep their shops open. In happier news, we have the best 'lipstickle' in case you were planning to buy some lipstick over the weekend.
