#GirlsAtDhabas Is Our New Favourite Tumblr

Sometimes the debate on women in public spaces on the subcontinent makes it sound like there’s no wiggle room at all. Butbutbut…we know that’s not entirely true for every place and time. Saba Imtiaz for instance, author of Karachi, You’re Killing Me!, seems incredibly comfortable in public spaces, if this fantastic tweet is anything to go by. And now, thanks to Aneela Z Babar, we found a Tumblr called GirlsAtDhabas that shows us photos of girls drinking chai, chilling, entirely at ease in dhabas in Pakistan. That’s it. No less, no more. And it’s open to submissions from its readers!
