Smugglers Bazaar


Two Afghans readily posed with their goods at the `smugglers' bazaar, Peshawar. A good place for bargain hunters looking for all sort of products ranging from electronic to household goods.

Wagah


Wagah, Pakistan. Picture of the Guard Commander of Punjab Regiment at the Closing of the Gate ceremony.

Winter

Winter is finally here. At Murree hills, on the way to Abbottabad. It was snowing heavily that morning. Good idea to be traveling with the four-wheel drive, as the road is slushy and slippery, as the snow melts

Education


Kachura, Skardu. Picture of two girls after their class at the local school. It is heartening to note that in this remote part of the country, there is a prevalent awareness of the need of education amongst the children, especially the girls.

Teh Tarik

Teh Tarik par excellence `a la Pakistan'

Another snapshot from Kachura, Skardu.
This minor is so eager to have her photograph taken, that I could not resist.
