Some nice pictures from Pukhtunkhwa

that picture of the boy is so cute.
i spent 2 winters in nepal and went on a trek through the mountains for 11 days so i know the winter in the mountains and 2 summers in the himalayas at manali, in india. compared to 23 degrees at night and 78 humidity here, toramana, it would still be cool to me right now.

THAT VIDEO IS POSTED BY that young man in the video whome i d,nt know,,yea poppy was the main source of incom since gadoon was trible area.
The local even fought against pakis to eaither allow us to grow poppies or find us jobs.so far pakistan got millions in US aid but done nothing for locals.The on going conflict somehow continue till this day.One of the main reason local hate pakistan is that.

no one ever used the poppies there but grew it to live.that was the only good source of income.I think most pashtuns did the same in the past.But poppies no more in our area.small amount can help in coughin/tokhia.
we call it ,,toda sara....,,i mean zukam.
