| A Bird Eye View of Hindukush Ranges from Plane. |
Tuesday January 17, 2012
Today in the morning I went to office and then straight to
airport to get the flight to Islamabad. The weather was good and the plane had
earlier arrived from Islamabad and came from Peshawar this time to pick me up. Fortunately the usually out of order ATM at Habib Bank was working and I got money so that I could a ticket. At the airport I waited for it taking to an elderly but well-read man who had his masters done
in 1962. Not many passengers were there and it seems PIA is quite in loss by the opreation of this flight. A main reason is the increase in Fares of the flight which has made the air travel not in reach of ordinary people in Chitral. A good strategy could to reduce price to attract the passenger going down country by road in this harsh weather.
The plane was as usual with very few passengers and took along an
elderly mother who was going down country for perhaps her checkups. I really
enjoy the flight as I was sitting west ward this time and it was all clear
wither with some captivating scenery down below. I saw valleys down below
covered with snow and some with most beautiful landscape. I took a lot of pics
and enjoyed the journey on the strectched out Hindukush ranges which go all the
way to Afghanistan and beyond. Most of the times there was signals of Roshan
Telecom of Afghanistan and other networks on my signal showing that we were close to
Afghanistan. Another wonderful scenery on the occasion was the view of Tarbela
Dam which was a like a giant ocean in the land. Landed at Chaklala by 11:45 and
after handing over the elderly women to his son I went straight in a taxi to
Wali uncle in AMC. There I had chat with the family and in the evening went to
the police station with Wali uncle in connection with a mobile theft which was
also a exciting experience to see our police system. Then in the eveing went to
my altime favorite pindi sadder and wondered there till late and came back.
Coming to Pindi has always being an energizer for me as I love this city and its various localities. The people of Pindi are mostly very much self interested and business minded. The would even sometimes not give a newspaper for having a glance and will advice you to getting one for yourself. However it does not mean that it is every one like this rather there are lot of good people too and whom you will come across while you are there. A major factor in the bulging population of Pindi City is the increasing pressure on it becuase of islamabad being right next to it. This causes most of those doing job to take shelter in Pindi.
Anyways the saddar area of Pindi is a great place to shop at and you can find a range of deals going on there.
