1957 - Subhana the Worst
In this captivating snapshot captured by Brian Brake, we see a renowned Kashmiri handicrafts dealer seated amidst a treasure trove of carpets, rugs, and handcrafted items atop a bustling bridge. Amidst the vibrant display, a three-story building adorned with a sign catches the eye -"Subhana the Worst."
Despite its seemingly inane name, this establishment proves to be a tourist magnet. It's a clever trap, a paradoxical allure that draws visitors in. But there's a twist - nearby, another shop operates under the moniker "Subhana The Best," offering a delightful contradiction.
In this whimsical world of commerce, visitors are lured in by the promise of the "worst" only to discover themselves named "The Best" before they depart, leaving with both treasures and tales to tell.
