'Please do not let hate win. Come to Jammu and Kashmir; Come as travelers and go back as believers. It is because of your bravery that peace has been established on our borders. I am thankful to the BSF and the Army. Recent events have made us understand the importance of your role for the country. Jammu and Kashmir is the backbone of India and is standing strong and united, reflecting your courage and sacrifice. I salute you and your families from the core of my heart,' Huma added.

A new matcha menu, a Thai food festival: Things to sample this April in Dubai
Matcha menu Calling all matcha fans, there's a new experience in town that you are going to want to try. Kayto at Jumeirah Al Naseem is launching Matcha Fridays, a celebration of the famous stuff. Starting on April 4, every Friday you can enjoy a four-course set menu where each dish is paired with a matcha drink. The starters, for example, feature crispy rice topped with salmon tartare, paired with Matcha Kyoto Cloud, and yellowtail nigiri with a touch of kizami wasabi, complemented by the vibrant Matcha Kyoto Bloom. For the main course, there is the saikyo miso black cod, served with yuzu miso and truffle mashed potatoes, accompanied by the bold Matcha Kyoto Ember. To round off the journey, dessert features Matcha Blanc Cherie, paired with creamy matcha ice cream and served alongside the indulgent Matcha Kayto Blossom Latte. Dh195 (set menu on Fridays). April 4-June, 12.30pm-3.30pm. To book a spot, email or restaurants@ call 800 323232. The best mix This is one crossover we are here for. This April, Kishmish, Ugly Noodles, and Ugly Burger are partnering up to deliver an explosion of flavours. The special menu, available on April 19-20 from noon to midnight at Kishmish branches in Dar Wasl and Mirdif, will take firm favourites and give them an unexpected (and hopefully delicious) twist. From the Ugly Bun Kebab (Dh38), a reimagined version of the classic Afghan burger with Ugly's signature flair, to the Shorwa Noodles (Dh58), a bowl blending Afghan and Sichuan influences, there's much to try out. Other highlights of the menu are mantu dumplings, Mantu Sichuan Wonton (Dh38), and the Dandan Kofta Noodles (Dh48) fuses Ugly's famous dan dan noodles with Kishmish's rich, spiced kofta. Rounding out the menu, diners can snack on Crispy Scallion Pakoras (Dh28) and Ugly-style Masala Chips (Dh28), before ending on a sweet note with Kishmish's Sheer Yakh. Afghan cuisine has evolved over centuries, shaped by influences from Mongolian, Iranian, and Indian traditions. One of its strongest connections, however, lies with Chinese cooking. For Chef-founder Eric Lee of Ugly Noodles, this collaboration is more than just a fusion of flavours – it's a full-circle moment. "When we first started, Ugly Noodles was right next to Kishmish in Dar Wasl Mall. It feels surreal to be coming back together for this collab, especially in a way that brings both of our unique identities onto one plate." Call 050 426 1663 to reserve your spot. Thai festival in Dubai It's a time to cheer and to celebrate, and pan-Asian restaurant Toshi is onboard with the idea. It's playing host and home to the Thai festival of Songkran on April 13.
