Kashmir's Other Fog
Kashmir Observer
|JANUARY 29, 2026 ISSUE
While the fog over Kashmir’s landscape is easy to see, few notice the mist that has settled over the region’s mindscape.
-
Everyday talks and exchanges now carry a phrase people use to describe a feeling that is hard to put into words. Thoughts come slowly, focus drifts easily, and tasks that once felt simple now take extra effort.
Brain fog makes it hard to focus, clouds memory, slows thinking, and tires the mind. It can affect anyone, young or old, educated or not, whether at work, in school, or at home.
Studies from clinical and neurological research describe it as trouble remembering things, difficulty staying focused, and a feeling that the mind is just not working properly.
People across walks of life, whether in offices, fields, craft shops, or homes, share these experiences, and their stories match what medical research calls cognitive fatigue, which can interfere with daily life and relationships.
