Gulkand is an edible rose petal preserve found across the Indo-Persia region.‘Gul’ means flower in Urdu and Persian and ‘kand’ means sweet in Arabic. Unlike jams or confitures, gulkand is preserved in a clay vessel and sun cooked for months. It is a delicacy given its seasonal quality and lengthy preserving process. The Damask rose blooms twice a year and is traditionally used due to its strong perfume. Ghulkand’s aged, sweet flavor and velvety texture is unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before.

The first time I came across gulkand was whilst visiting my grandfather’s home in Pakistan. He kept an old jar wrapped in muslin in his wardrobe. In the subcontinent, it’s common to keep precious food safeguarded in one’s closet. Distanced from the chaos of the household, the jar of gulkand in nana’s wardrobe signaled to me that this was precisely his shauk, his pleasure. Nana reluctantly shared this treat with us, mumbling about the jar’s precious origins and complaining about how we always wanted more. Occasionally, he would dispense a tiny amount on an old spoon with his shaky hand. The overwhelming sweet flavor made our day.

In the patriarchal society that Pakistan is, he was always contradictory. He loved his roses, whether in the form of gulkand or his garden. He was sweet, funny and sharp. The intensely rich and feminine flavors of gulkand forever remind me of him.

Preserving and creatively archiving memories that ground me in my heritage has become even more important to me this month. Our identities, histories and material culture can be erased by force, violence and politics. And yet the most cherished moments and stories survive subtly. My little sis and I made this video reminiscing about our grandfather and the sweet and mysterious gulkand that he cherished so much. We leave this world physically, yet we leave so much intangible matter behind.

Thanks @annefess

This tent once belonged to the Indian ruler of Mysore, Tipu Sultan. Elaborate tents such as these travelled across territories as portable royal apartments for the King and his court officials.

Tipu Sultan is best known for his resistance against the East India Company’s conquest of his Kingdom. After several wars, he was defeated at his fortress at Seringapatam. Tipu’s immense wealth, both personal and territorial, were divided amongst senior British officers, including this tent, which was brought to Powis Castle circa 1800 and used as a marquee for garden parties by the family.

The tent was eventually acquired by the V&A and displayed for the first time at the ‘Fabric of India’ exhibition in 2015.

Also acquired by the V&A is Tipu’s Tiger, an almost life size semi-automated wooden toy of a tiger attacking a European soldier. Hidden inside the tiger’s body is an organ that can still be played today. It is by far one of the most popular attractions according to the V&A.

Interior inspiration this week: beautiful Sheesh Mahals or ‘Palace of Mirrors.’ Intricate mirror work is laid into the marble walls to create a gleaming effect. They say the whole room lights up with a single candle.

The last image is of Sheesh Mahal from Amer Fort, Jaipur. It was made especially for the queen as she loved sleeping under the stars.

Amazing how love brings so much beauty into this world!

First two images are from The City Palace, Udaipur, Rajasthan.

Ara Güler (1928-2018) known as the ‘Eye of Istanbul’ is one of Turkey’s most famed photographers. He was the first Near East correspondent for Time-Life Magazine, and his work can be found everywhere from the Museum of Modern Art in New York to the National Library of France.

His genius was that he was able to portray famed personalities like Salvador Dali, Alfred Hitchcock, Indira Gandhi, Maria Callas and Pablo Picasso alongside the everyday people walking the streets of Istanbul and around the world.

Known as a ‘visual historian’ he travelled and met with people extensively during his lifelong career. When he died in August 2018 at the age of 90, the world remembered him for his equally famous and charismatic personality as the people he photographed.

This is a collection of some of my favourite images of his work starting with the Trumpeters coffeehouse in Lahore, 1986 and ending with his own portrait.


Thanks @annefess for introducing me to him!
