Satpara Lake

Satpara Lake:
This lake is the main (and only) water source for Skardu. The water is transmitted to the houses as is. There is no filtration or processing plant. There are signs around that tell the tourists to avoid littering in and around the lake. It surely is beautiful and we should try to keep it that way.

Sunset @ Skardu

Sunset @ Hapakun

Sunset at Hapakun:
Hapakun was a camping site on the trail to the Tagafari base camp on the steep slopes of the Rakaposhi Mountains. After a couple of hours of trekking up the mountain we made camp at Hapakun. There we had this marvelous view of the sunset.

Cuckoo's Nest - Lahore, Pakistan

A posh eaterie in the red light district of the busy metropolis of Lahore has Hindu religious symbols in the name of cultural heritage/diversity. My personal opinion is kind of mixed regarding the use of these symbols. Nice food though!

Fisherman

The fishermen on the coast of Karachi:







Old man Crow goes down to the river
He's gonna fish himself a full day's work
He's been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life
He's got his name engraved right there in the dirt

He's gonna take his catch down to market
He's gonna bring that money back home
He's putting bread on the table
He's doing his job

Old man's buddy comes down to the river
He's gonna talk himself a full day's work
He's been fishing for the love of the pond nearly all his life
He don't mind at all getting down in the dirt
His wife calls at the end of the day
His child stumbles downtown to play
He's gonna sit in the yard for awhile
He's feeling no pain

The river bed man has seen some changes
Going from paddle boats to gasoline
He don't mind at all about no dirty water
As long the sun comes up and those fish get cleaned

He don't need no millionaire's daughter
Don't need no millionaire's wife
He's got that millionaire's money
Notched in the pole of the fisherman's life

Set Sail

Sailing aficianado off the Marina Club, Karachi, Pakistan:



Set sail off, we going to the world
Living in no fear, so hold on to your girl
Lovely in naps, I got no time for curls
Cause’, nothing can stop this like duke of ear

Morris Minor - 1960

A 1960 Morris Minor! That is one car I would buy and customise! Make it into a monster of a car! A hyper-power-packed V12. Turbo. And the works!

Love in the Rain

Making love in the rain, I can't believe the joy it brings me
And when I'm all alone, I hear the rain on my window

It's just a little thing, but it means so much to me
Our bodies together, while the rain plays a melody

Every raindrop makes me think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do

Making love in the rain, I can't believe the joy it brings me
And when I'm all alone, I hear the rain on my window

When it's stormy outside, it's calm in my heart, with you in my arms
And when you're away from me, I wish it would rain 'cause it's always the same

Every raindrop makes me think of you
(Wishing you were close to me)
There is nothing that I'd rather do

Islamabad, Pakistan:

Red lamp...

'In the middle of the road of our life'
the attention advances & ignites
the balance
& the intuitive light
alive in any baby
not mere lucence
of places
& plants
