Despite the tension along the border, the exchange of sweets between troops stationed along the line of control on their days of national important has become a regular feature.

"Can't live with u, can't live without u". Cannot understand the nature of relationship we two countries wish to have.
South Asians have a sweet tooth - better to eat sweets together than fight each other
the picture above is not that of LoC, it's most probably somewhere along international working boundary in Punjab where both countries have posted border security forces. On LoC, it's the regular armies facing off each other.
What is this? I am not able believe it. Normally both we will exchange Fire only. I think , we can settle all disputes smoothly and open all Boarder check-post freely to move both Country people if Pak Army's Mind should change. Pak Politicians are already given their wishes.
,,,,,,,from the decades both countries diplomatic relations like moving pendulum because this pendulum charged by imported cell. when it starts to be in static position because of weakening its strength, immediately replaced by veto powers branded cell~
@Shahg: Oh man who is this guys spreading the stink in here... On my god.. can someone clean-up his mess, as usual he spread the stink and left without cleaning up.
@Shahg: You sound like no one was killed on the other side? In the recent skirmish the first one who died was a BSF guy and then rest on your side were claimed.
But it does not matter who dies but precious lives were lost on both sides but it clearly shows who instigates first.
Nice gesture. This is the only way to move forward.
oh please, stop faking this drama. India kills our soldiers, kills our civilians and now the bonhomie?
makes me want to vomit at the hypocrisy. what did they do after eating the sweets? start firinga t one another?
you make peace with your enemies only when they want it as well.
Hopefully Mr. Aziz realizes that all that he was fuming was a hot air.
This is the funniest LoC between two "Hostile" armies.
This one is so easy & sweet. Keep up the same spirit.
