    I wanna learn how to Khamak. There are so many lovely designs. I'm in love with gharas that men from Kandahar wear. I think their hot. They come in all these different designs and colors. Simply gorgeous. I want a pair! haha.

Your present state could very well be His intent to elevate your spiritual station. Or He could just be testing your faith. Everyday that you persevere, you grow closer to perfection. Thus, your present despair may be the beginning of an infinite blessing". - Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani.

      Really Jasmine? How much are you selling them for? I think, I'm going to start a collection of them soon for my future sons Insha'Allah. Force them to wear ghara's on Eid. =)

        About "The Dying Pakhtun Culture" it seems very similar to the Holloween tradition in the US. Funny thing is my grandmother used to tell us that there used to be a tradition similar to that in which kids would use half of a hollowed out squash or gourd and carve faces into it and knock on doors and staying there singing songs etc untill some money or rice/wheat etc were giving.

        Very interesting.....

          i have heard of similar stories. the women used to get rid of evil spirits. by singing some words in pashto. and youngsters would go door to door to collect treats ( goora, flour, some times grain), the kids would use flour and charcoal to color their faces and the song they used to sing was something like this:
          pa ghwaro ye ghwara wi
          pa shwado ye lambawi
          ............
          dont remeber the rest i have to ask my grand mother.

              Does your hometown still carry the bride in a dholi? Is it an actual Pashtun custom?

              I know in Laghman, the girl is carried by her brother-in-laws to her in-laws village/home.
