A TYPICAL KAHMIRI CONSTRUCTION (  WITH  DUBBS )

To This photo , i am adding a brief story on cartoons of sajood Sailani 

Sajood Sailani ( Born 1936 ) is  a Kashmiri poet and  playwright. He founded Sangam Theatre in Kashmir.  Sometimes , he also drew cartoons that  were full of social satire and archetypal kashmiri humour. These cartoons have been drawn at least three decades back . Many people in Kashmir do not know this creative aspect of his personality.

He lives at  Pandrethan in Kashmir.  In 2009, i visited him at his residence  for  a detailed interview .I upload 5 cartoons drawn by him...

 (Sir,please clarify this riddle to me,
Else this is going to weigh heavily upon my mind.
You have put your legs in something,
Is it a trouser or a reed pipe?)
