The tunnel cutting machine looks good, different from TBM's though...and a motorway construction here is many times tougher than on the plains of Punjab and Sindh...

My father is asking me on weekly basis about the progress of swat motorway . He
Wants to visit as soon as it completes.
Before the Taliban we used to go to swat every summer, all my life I spend my summers in swat.
The beautiful atmosphere of swat Serena or white Palace is out of this world. Kalam is such a beautiful place and there is no lake beautiful then the mohudent lake. We used to stay and ski at that tacp motel in malam Jabba, it is still not constructed .
Such beautiful memories. We even used to drive late at night among streets of swat. Visit cheena and chena markets.
There is weird thing we notice, if you go to swat and visit mangora at night you see the sparrows sleeping on the transmission lines. They are arranged in prefect lines. I don't think I have ever seen this phenomenon anywhere. Not a single space was empty from these sparrows. They occupy every inch of transmission lines. Children eating sour berries all around and they offer you their berries. They offer you wild flowers. Where ever we go places childern offer us wild flowers.

Such good memories. Then my
Beautiful swat was taken over by the Taliban.
And now when I hear that Sufi Muhammad is released no matter how old he is. I simply cannot help feel sad. I am hopeful for future but cannot help feel sad.
Well anyways would visit swat after all those years when this motorway would complete.
