The family of Zeenat Rashid has been following an unusual routine after the joint military strikes by the US and Israel on Iran. The regular power cuts mean that the family can’t cook any meals. The household has run out of gas. When the electricity supply gets restored, a wave of happiness sweeps over them. Zeenat argues with a gas dealer in Srinagar, complaining about the suspension of home delivery services.
