Fractured Lives By Atul Gupta I met Shafika while filming Waiting ' a documentary on the lives of missing people in Kashmir. In my first meeting with her, I was captivated by her large brown eyes and the soulful story they were yearning to tell. Shafika, in her early twenties, lives in a shanty on the banks of a dirty canal in Kashmir. She is a 'half-widow' ' her husband has been missing for a long time, and she is clueless as to whether he is dead or alive.
