The Pakistani Spectator

In the morning I had to force my self to wake up as I never wanted to lose the chance of taking bath. We decided about the turns; so according to the protocol BILAL was the one to go or it. AZEEM told me that he takes a lot of time so u can have another round of sleep. Anyways as we got ready we had our break fast which we were carrying right from Lahore with us.

Now we all 4 were in the Bazaar of Bahrain. The same river which was irritating me last evening now it was looking much more charming to me. Clean air and beautiful sceneries and a bazaar having TANWA-TANWA Banda was roaming in it, and if there was some hustle and bustle it was due to the boys from our college. We get snaps clicked and performed “Lahori Rang Bazi”. We were busy in measuring the length of road and bazaar of Bahrain and the cell phone of BILAL rung. It was SADAQAT and he informed us that he has arranged a jeep and they are going to KALAAM and there is space for 4-5 people.

I thanked Allah after looking at the people in the jeep. As they were very much reasonable. Well the journey begun and snow covered mountains were now can be seen. There were some people with the conductor and those guys were giving misleading answers to our questions. One guy HABIB KHAN was with us and he translated their Pashto conversation for us and they were saying “what ever we say they gona believe it”. As soon as they got to know this talent of HABIB they started talking in KOHISTANI.

We kept traveling on that road like dangerous track which was lying along with SWAAT River. At many places there were proof of land sliding and the height was created when we reached a place and got a bad news that there is glacier on the road and we can not travel any more on this jeep if we want to go to KALAAM.

It was decided that we should cross this glacier on foot and hire another jeep for KALAAM. As I was in the search of snow it was a fun for me to press that snow by my feet, but 2-3 times that snow make me fall but I never lost courage. In the mean while few people were coming from the other side and asked us that where were we going to? As they got to know that we were heading towards KALAAM; they sketched the Kalaam to us in a way that I seemed to me as old or I should say ancient town of Europe.
