The day was a rest day. I saw off Arsalan at his school and
then came back to home. I heard that flight had gone to Chitral today after a
couple days of interval. I should have gone today as I had no official business
left but some private matters were there to be do away with before I go to Chitral
as there seemed no immediate retour of twin cities. I went to saddar and took
out the last remaining 4K rupees from my account and proceeded to Raja Bazar
which is the commercial hub of Rawalpindi and the main wholesale market of
Rawalpindi. I strolled through the market asking for anything helpful to
counter the extreme cold weather of Chitral. At last after many efforts I ended with a gas heater which was converted
to LPG by the shopkeeper for some additional amount. I took it and a lot many
other thing from the the market where the prices were more attractive than
Gilgit. With a heavy shopper and an empty pocket I went to saddar. From there I
got some minor things from the 15 Rs. Stall and then had a lunch at the savour
type restaurant before proceeding to home in the Suzuki wagon. In the evening
Mr. Altaf of AKRSP booked a ticket for which I got a printout from the PIA
office in Saddar and then came back to home.

I woke up at five o clock thanks auntie who was caring to
look that whether I have got up or not. Even my earlier blunder had not changed
my way of doing things. I would have again been late and this time miss the
flight as I occurred at due time today. I dragged my bag and belonings all the
way to saddar from where I got a taxi to airport. In the early morning the
check in was quite smooth and after waiting for sometimes we were instructed to
board the plane. Mr. Inayat ullah Faizi, the BoD member of AKRSP was also
coming to Chitral. The passengers were a few as usuall and we had a smooth ride
thourgh and above the mountains to Chitral. The airhostess was adamant that I
should fasten my seatbelt which I denied all the way to Chitral. The travel is
one of the most beautiful where you come from the plains of potohar into the
mountains of Chitral with some beautiful scenes coming across all the way. Just
at the landing time I saw AKRSP vehicle coming towards the airport and I was
delighted. After landing came straight to the room and installed the heater
which worked perfectly.
In the office today I met all the staff and then we had a
meeting with ICDP LSO regarding their plans for the coming months for youths.
It was somewhat a session where we perhaps lacked ideas that what to do for the
youths. However did the exercise and laid out some initial activities for the
youth that the LSO will be involved in the coming months so that there is some
progress towards the goals of EELY program.
