@captainsjack OKAY so thank you for giving me an excuse to share these unconnected snippets i have lol.

Ethan sleeps with Ilsa because he likes her, and he cares about her, and it seems like the right thing to do. She’s smart and beautiful, his equal in every conceivable way. She makes him laugh, he makes her smile, and their coupling seems inevitable. So after the showdown in Kashmir, once the dust had settled and Ethan had gained full faculty of his ribs again, he’d asked Ilsa out and made love to her after the last cup of dessert coffee had been drained. 

It had been soft and sweet until it had been hard and rough, and it’s the best sex Ethan’s had since Julia, if he’s being honest with himself. 

The morning after, they have breakfast in bed, and sex once more in the shower. Ilsa is perfect, and Ethan thinks that he’s in love. He wants more time to explore the idea, but the IMF knows that if he’s well enough to fuck, Ethan’s well enough to fight, and the team’s called together for a briefing with the new Secretary before being sent away on yet another impossible mission. 

“Call me when you get back,” Ilsa murmurs into his collar at the airport, and before Ethan can say anything in return, she’s gone like a ghost into the crowd. 

“First thing when I land,” he says into the empty space where Ilsa used to be. Then he shakes his head and makes his way towards his gate. 

He’s surprised, then, to see Benji sprawled out over three chairs. He has four devices plugged in to as many outlets, charging happily. 

“Ethan!” he says, shooting upright. His burner phone and his tablet clatter to the ground. “I didn’t know you’d be here.”

Ethan grins. “Same for you. It’s good to see you, Benji.” 

Benji stands the rest of the way and pulls Ethan into a hug. Ethan grunts at the slight pain that thrums through his chest, and Benji—taking the hint—eases up. 

“God, sorry! Forgot about your five broken ribs.”

“No so broken anymore, but definitely still a little tender,” Ethan replies. “You look good, too.”

Benji rubs at his throat. “Well, bruises heal faster than bones.”

“So,” Ethan says as his sits into the chair Benji graciously empties of tech bags for him. “Why the hell are you back in London?”

Benji shrugs. “It’s where I’m from, you know. I like to visit on the off days, when I can.” He pauses. “Should I bother asking what you’re doing here?” 

Ethan’s too old to blush, especially for something so benign as romance. “Ilsa has an apartment here.”

“Ah,” says Benji with a nod. “Of course. How is Ilsa?”

“Good,” Ethan says, his smile a mile wide. “Great, in fact. Enjoying her retirement.”

“So, you two are…?”

Ethan’s smile falters just a little. “We’re...you know. Sure.” 

It shouldn’t be a difficult question, he knows. And by the skeptical look on Benji’s face, he wasn’t expecting such a vague answer. But somehow it seems false for Ethan to say exactly what he and Ilsa are. Partners or lovers or significant others. They hadn’t talked about it all in their weeks together, but Ilsa had said to call and Ethan has been thinking himself in love. So then what, indeed, did that make them? 

I’m too old for this, Ethan thinks to himself. So he turns to Benji and says, “We’re happy.”

Benji smiles at that. “Hear, hear.”

Ethan settles further into his chair and looks around the half-filled gate. He shakes his head. “Interesting choice to have us fly commercial.”

Benji snorts, already back to tapping at his laptop. “Sloan reminding us of our place, no doubt.”

They sit in companionable silence, Benji on his tech and Ethan reading a book. He considers texting Ilsa, but stops himself before committing to the act. He’s not sure it’d be appreciated. He tries to stay focused on his book, but with Benji beside him typing away and humming some song under his breath, Ethan has a difficult time of it. 

He looks sideways at Benji, taking in the man’s profile. Benji looks older, it’s undeniable. His hair’s thinner, his face gaunter. The nature of the job has hit him harder than it’s hit Ethan, and it shows. Not that it matters, Ethan knows. Benji’s not usually the go-to for honeypot missions, but even if he were, he has plenty of other charms. Ethan knows them firsthand. 

“Something on my face?” Benji asks, eyes still on his screen.

Ethan starts. “No. Just zoning out.”

Benji finally turns to look at him, eyebrows raised. “If you say so.” He goes back to his screen. 

Ethan goes back to his book, but he’s not any more focused than he was before. It’s a blessing when the attendant at the front kiosk announces they’re about to board. At least it gives him something to do besides think. 

---

“Uh, Ethan,” Brandt’s voice clips over the coms. “Am I disturbing you?”

“No,” replies Ethan, curt. He sighs. “Just distracted today.”

“Well, fix it.”

Ethan rolls his eyes. He likes Brandt, really he does. But sometimes Brandt’s attitude is decidedly unwelcome. 

“I know how to do my job, Brandt.”

“Apparently not. The target’s just exited the building.”

“Shit,” Ethan mutters as he stands nonchalantly and throws down a ten dollar bill for his coffee. His own exit from the cafe is casual, though it’s the last word he’d use to describe how he feels. 

It all ends well when he catches the arms dealer mid-transaction two blocks down, but the fact remains: Ethan Hunt had fucked up a job because he was too busy thinking about Benji Dunn. 

“So,” Brandt says later as Ethan’s en route back to their temporary base. “What was that about.”

He doesn’t want to answer. It’s not any of Brandt’s business. But the two of them share a strange and inexplicable camaraderie, knit together by their complicated shared experience with Julia, and Ethan can’t quite keep himself from saying, “I can’t stop thinking about Benji blowing up. I’ve dreamed about it the last three nights. It’s the first thought I have when waking. It’s the last thing I see when I close my eyes before I sleep.” He pauses. “It’s disconcerting.”

Brandt is silent for a long time. When he finally does make a sound, it is only an ambivalent, “Huh.”

“Thanks, Will,” Ethan says, irritated. Then he yanks out his ear piece. 

An hour later, Brandt sends a text. 

Don’t think too hard about it. Your brain knows he matters to you, that’s all.

---

“What about Julia?”

Ethan frowns. “I love her and would die for her.”

“So then what about Ilsa?”

The frown deepens. “I love and would die for her, too.”

“So then what about me?”

Ethan stares at Benji, silently. Not because he doesn't care, but rather because—as he realizes with a sudden startling clarity—there are no words or series of words in any language available to him to adequately express exactly how he feels about Benji Dunn. 

“That’s about what I thought,” Benji says, apparently fed up with the way Ethan gapes at him. 

“No, no, no.” Ethan stutters out. “It’s not that I feel nothing. I just can’t think of any words…” he chuckles, despite himself. “I can’t think of any words big enough for how I feel about you.”

That draws Benji up short. “Ethan,” he says, expression unreadable, “are you saying you’re in love with me?”

The question lands like a blow, because Ethan hasn’t let himself get anywhere near that far when he thinks about how he feels about Benji. Where he’d pushed himself to believe he was in love with Ilsa, the idea of being in love with Benji feels absolutely terrifying. It’s too much, too real. It’s too precious. “I don’t think I know what means anymore,” he finally says. Then, “Are you in love with me?”

Benji’s expression shifts to something more openly wounded. “Ethan–”

Their phones chirp a split second apart, stopping the conversation short. 

“It’s work,” Benji says, swallowing. “We have to go.”

Ethan grabs his shoulder. “We have to finish this.”

Benji grabs at Ethan’s hand, as if to shove it away. But he stops. His grip softens. His hand rests gently over Ethan’s. “Ethan,” he says firmly, but not unkindly. “It’s work. You understand what that means.”

And Ethan does. He lets go of Benji’s shoulder and steps back, hand slipping out from under Benji’s palm. It’s work. They have to go. 

They can finish the conversation later.

In which world has India "occupied" Kashmir? Kashmir is a part of India which is severely affected by terrorist activity. Many were forced to leave their homes to settle in different parts of India (Kashmir pandits etc). How was that India's fault and not the fault of the country the terrorists came from?

Firstly, I want to make it clear that I do condemn what was done to Kashmiri Pandits. Secondly, I do believe that Kashmir is occupied (that does NOT mean that I don't understand that the geopolitical reality is complex), and that a plebiscite should have been conducted. And I believe that neither India nor Pakistan has been entirely innocent with regard to Kashmir.

My interpretation of the events described below (quoted from the linked articles), is that Kashmir is occupied. And no, they are not my only sources of information - other articles, the Kashmiri woman who came to speak at my university, and a friend of a friend who visited Kashmir and stayed there for a significant period of time (not as a tourist), are also sources of my information on Kashmir.

When India and Pakistan gained independence from British rule in 1947, the various princely rulers were able to choose which state to join. The Maharaja of Kashmir, Hari Singh, was the Hindu head of a majority Muslim state sandwiched between the two countries and could not decide. He signed an interim "standstill" agreement to maintain transport and other services with Pakistan. In October 1947 tribesmen from Pakistan invaded Kashmir, spurred by reports of attacks on Muslims and frustrated by Hari Singh's delaying tactics. The Maharaja asked for Indian military assistance. India's governor-general, Lord Mountbatten, believed peace would best be served by Kashmir's joining India on a temporary basis, pending a vote on its ultimate status. Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession that month, ceding control over foreign and defence policy to India. Indian troops took two-thirds of the territory, and Pakistan seized the northern remainder. China occupied eastern parts of the state in the 1950s. Whether the Instrument of Accession or the entry of Indian troops came first remains a major source of dispute between India and Pakistan. India insists that Hari Singh signed first, thereby legitimising the presence of their troops. Pakistan is adamant that the Maharaja could not have signed before the troops arrived, and that he and India had therefore ignored the "standstill" agreement with Pakistan. Pakistan demands a referendum to decide the status of Kashmir, while Delhi argues that, by voting in successive Indian state and national elections, Kashmiris have confirmed their accession to India. Pakistan cites numerous UN resolutions in favour of a UN-run referendum, while India says the Simla Agreement of 1972 binds the two countries to solve the problem on a state-to-state basis. There has been no significant movement from these positions in decades. In addition, some Kashmiris seek a third option - independence - which neither India nor Pakistan is prepared to contemplate.

The two countries fought wars over Kashmir in 1947-48 and 1965. They formalised the original ceasefire line as the Line of Control in the Simla Agreement, but this did not prevent further clashes in 1999 on the Siachen Glacier, which is beyond the Line of Control. India and Pakistan came close to war again in 2002. The situation was further complicated by an Islamist-led insurgency that broke out in 1989. India gave the army additional authority to end the insurgency under the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA). Despite occasional reviews of the AFSPA, it still remains in force in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.

Today it remains one of the most militarised zones in the world. China administers parts of the territory.

Media in Indian-administered Kashmir are generally split between pro- and anti-secessionist. Local journalists work under strict curfews and also face threats from militant groups. Internet access is sporadic and text messaging services are regularly blocked.

In Pakistani-controlled Kashmir, the media are used mainly for propaganda purposes, mainly to highlight the alleged human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Also, I think the following information is relevant too.

The Muslim majority in the princely state found the Maharaja’s reign authoritarian. In the words of Kashmiri author P.N. Bazaz, “Dogra rule has been a Hindu Raj.” Maharaja Hari Singh thought of independence because, according to American Indologist William Norman Brown, “He disliked becoming part of India, which was being democratised, or Pakistan, which was Muslim....”

On August 12, 1947, J&K petitioned India and Pakistan for a standstill agreement, which Pakistan signed but India refused, asking the Maharaja to send a representative for discussions. With every passing day, the Maharaja’s position became more precarious. As early as June 1947, about 60,000 ex-army men (mostly from Poonch) had started a no-tax campaign against the Maharaja. On August 14-15, Muslims in Poonch hoisted Pakistani flags, provoking the imposition of martial law and further angering Muslim subjects. Pakistan was sending warning notes to the Maharaja, one on August 24 reading: “Should Kashmir fail to join Pakistan, the gravest possible trouble will inevitably ensue.” The worst fears of the Dogra ruler came true when on October 22, Pakistan launched Operation Gulmarg by mobilising tribals from the North-West Frontier Province. About 2,000 tribesmen, armed with modern weaponry, raided Muzaffarabad. By the evening of October 23 they had captured Domel. Garhi and Chinari fell over the next two days. Then their main column proceeded towards Uri, and then, along the Jhelum river towards Baramulla, the entry point to Srinagar.

On October 24, Maharaja Hari Singh appealed to India for military aid to flush out the raiders. India obliged but not before the Instrument of Accession was signed on October 26. It limited India’s powers over the Valley to matters of defence, communications, and foreign affairs.

And this is from the Instrument of Accession:

Nothing in this Instrument shall be deemed to commit in any way to acceptance of any future constitution of India or to fetter my discretion to enter into agreement with the Government of India under any such future constitution.

PSA

I saw a LOT of people complain last year that "agar garmi mai hi jana tha toh kashmir kyu aaye hain"

It is HOT because in JUNE, SUMMER starts here obviously garmi hogi na bro

If you want to enjoy kashmir ki thandak come in march, april or may, best time to visit imo.

I'm in srinagar rn and it's been raining for a week straight, it's literally sweater weather here

TLDR,

Don't visit srinagar in June and complain about the garmi, it's summer season. But do come in April/May because it's spring

Tagged by @deaths-accountant in this post! Thanks!

Relationship status: Single.

Favorite color: Orange! Orange is the best color.

Song stuck in my head: As a general rule, Super Mario World "Athletic" plays in my head on repeat. Might be a contender for "song I have spent the most net time listening to". Ah, Mario...

Last song I listened to: SCANDAL - Scandal Baby

Last thing I Googled:

Mostly I google things that I half remember to make sure I am remembering them right. For instance I didn't know the name of that Super Mario World theme off the top of my head. And for a post earlier I had to find that IRA statement on Margret Thatcher. And so on.

Dream trip: I may have posted about this before, but my dream trip (or, well, one of them) is probably to travel from Afghanistan to Southern China by way of the south side of the Himalayas. Start in Kandahar and then go up to Kabul, through the Khyber pass into Peshawar, then to Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand (not sure exactly where I would visit in these places), go through Nepal, see various things and especially visit Kathmandu, then travel around the Assam/Nagaland/Arunachal Pradesh region and finally go north into China, probably ending in Chengdu.

This trip is uh, Not Feasible at the moment, as it probably involves crossing more contested borders than any other geographically coherent trip you could imagine. Although one could presumably make it worse by trying to go from their into South Korea by land. Anyway, I think I'll have to save this one for a different political climate.

Munnar also referred to often as 'Kashmir of south India' is a hill station located in the southern state of Kerala situated at the height of 5200 ft. is kown for it's natural beauty and abundance of tea gardens. The climate provides the vegetation to grow uninhibited and flowers bloom in every small piece of land available to the nature in spring, one thing I observed during the trip was the predominance of violet and purple hued flowers throughout the hill station which I can not understand due to my lack of knowledge in the field of biogeography.

The beginning of march is the perfect time to visit Munnar since the sun is hot but the breeze and shade are cool and the wild flowers are in full bloom. Temperatures remain anywhere in between 21°C - 32°C depending on the height you are at and the time of the day.

It is one of the most beautiful places to explore and unwind making it suitable for all types of travellers. The best hotel to stay at with rooms overlooking Mountains and a velly from where you can see the sunrise is 'The Munnar Queen' located near the town of Chithirapuram, it is a budget hotel with great rooms, service and food ( the photos attached above were taken from the balcony of my room in the same hotel at dawn).

Top places to visit when in munnar:

1. Tata tea museum

2. Mattupetty Dam and lake(jet skiing is available here)

3. The rose gardens

4. Photo point and eco point

5. Watch Kalaripayattu ( it is a form of Indian martial art original to Kerala) at Kalari Kshetra.

6. Visit local tea gardens

( caution: wear shoes that cover your feet since there may be leeches that stick to your feet here and there, I am talking from personal experience and believe me they are hard to get rid of and the hirudin(an anti coagulant) present in their saliva makes you bleed for a long time after you pluck them out)

7. Explore towns that come along the way and eat at the local restaurants if you really want to taste the authentic food ; both vegetarian and nonvegiterian restaurants are available but to find the good vegetarian ones you'll have to search hard enough.
