@ghazi52 your picture threads are amazing. Thanks for presenting Pakistan in that way. From what I can remember, the only other entity that presented Pak in such a way was PTV. When there were none of these other private channels.

...wont the fish die in the cold/heat - whats the temperature like?



also - whats that rust colored stuff on that red basket case?

Temperature is moderate to warm as you can tell from clothing..

That rust color thing is bark of walnut tree... sold under name of "Maswaak". There are other tree twigs too that are used as Maswaak...

It's used as teeth cleaning item even though it stains teeth brown but considered to help keep teeth/gums healthy... ppl chew it until it softens and become brush-like then scrub teeth with that brush

@ghazi52 a very original idea, this thread. Cheers.

watching these people always breaks my heart.
Imagine what Pakistan could do if he just educated theses people, instead of having them waste their lives wandering the streets for a few rupees.

Every country has its share of street vendors, trash collectors, municipal workers etc, there are a lot of homeless people wandering about in western countries specially the US, u dont find many here, what does that tell u about Pakistan.....n most of these people are not poor at all, infact they make a good living off the streets. Some street vendors in specific spots have been known to make a killing. There was a guy i used to buy Sajji( steamed chicken) from, a street vendor, due to the exceptional taste of his product( u dont find that in a resturant), he told me once while i was waiting for my order that he actually works in a govt institution during the day and just set up his roadside chicken joint for 3-4 hrs during the evening and walks away with 200-300 chickens sold, a killing for 3 hrs work...

Yes to be precise.

Saw this after a decade i think, so many things have vanished off our streets, i remember there used to be balloon men who used to blow trumpets to announce thier arrival, duk duki( little vehicle made with straws n clay wheels) wala's and a horde of other stuff.

Imagine the world where everyone is educated and works in an office. Dont think too little of these people, most of them make good living doing this, I personally knew a veggie vendor who used to come to our street, owned a decent house and his kids were going to private schools.

Wow, the colors, the vibrancy-amazing. How safe is it eat and what kind of meat is that?

Unhealthy, not safe but tasty ...
Absolutely test them once a while. Human did long long ago.



Any meat including donkey, except pork.
