  • My charity for today

    It was kind of not exactly me...but it was kind of. A friend has a music player that a guard really really wanted because he had no access to music. It was a nano ipod: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod_Nano and through my little knowledge of the Pashto language I was able to say graan and make that universal hand language for money or exchanging money.

    I then understood that the guard just wanted it soo much that I explained to the US soldier he really really wanted it. Well, today he came to work and said his wife ok'd him buying a new one so the soldier was able to give his nano to the guard.

    I know it's a big wrap-around story but I believe it was a good work today.

    No, but the nano came with a power adapter to charge it so he can keep listening to the music...and it does have a lot of songs on it.

        A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

        For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


        The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

        -Ferishta, 1560–1620
