Oh my GOD ...sattar Bhai.....such a detailed reply....:)...
You are also unique in the art of replying /posting.........

Bhai ... what can I say ... PW is kind of a legalized addiction ... so I spend most of the time here
Actually Zahid has a lot of time....rich guy....so he can get as much massage as he wants.....

... very true!!! I hope he can use his wealth to go beyond cute little SUVs ... I could not believe when he said that he accompanied you when you bought your LC ..

But he visits Pakwheels regularly and sometimes I get latest information/updates from him on Pakwheels....

I guess I will have to check his postings .. personally, I have not seen his posting anywhere on PW

These Kind of Co-Drivers are not extinct...but a little hard to find these days.....:D.....

I hope I can get your help in finding one, if and when, a need arises

I stop myself after every 15 minutes to get photographs...not for Pakoray and samosay....:P...

Sir ... aap ki kya hi baat hai. I am learning a lot from you ...

I have never been to swat ...but it is in my wishlist ...lets see....A lot n lot to explore dear.....lets see if Zindagi aur Sehat wafa karti hay to....
I am not that good in description......But its only you brothers who like what I write and post....

MashaAllah, you are doing well ... friends like to read your travelogue, and I am sure now you have a lot more friends than you did in the past
nothing else....
Ji janab......Photography.....AAp to Khud Chupay Rustam Hain...

Gotcha..!!! I keep on changing hobbies, but photography has stayed with me ever since I was in class 2 .. .. Zahid knows the result of a contest at the Civil Services Academy in 1991 ... But, Rehman Bhai ... I don't know why I don't feel inclined to take photos .. I keep a camera with me at all times, but hardly use it. Now, "Laadli" is getting some attention ... so lets see, when I revert back to nature and human subjects

[spitfire]

We did not leave main road and kept driving ....( I think :$)...
combined military hospital on the way....

... and then Rehman Bhai went to sleep at 1.57 am !!!

Rehman Bhai, I searched for postings by Zahid .. and here is a gem I found

"this is a very cruel game. killing animals and birds in wild is very very immoral and unethical. they should be allowed to live their natural lives. why did u kill them brother....... what is their fault . did they ever do anything that brought punishment of death penalty to them. it was just a pleasure sport for u and they had to pay with their lives. for God sake leave them alone and let them live a happy free life as you want to live yourself. sorry if i hurt someone. but these pictures hurt me a lot"

I suddenly felt very proud of him. Here is what I wrote

"It seems very hypocritical if I ask you to stop hunting bird and animals... For several years, I used to go on hunting trips .. but then I suddenly stopped.

Some basic questions cropped up in my mind, and I could not go hunting again.

• Do we kill them for food?
• Have they caused any damage to us?
• Do they look better dead than alive?
• Aren't they important for our ecology and environment?

I love shooting, and I still have my guns ... but I just cannot shoot an animal or bird now.

I hope my words don't sound like a sermon. My words are just what my heart compelled me to say. Surely, wildlife department gave you the permit to hunt.

You might decide to think over what I have said or you may totally ignore it. It is all up to you "

I did not go to sleep Sattar Bhai......Light Chali ***e thi.....:(...at 2.00 am....

[spitfire]

@askhokhar.....
I fully agree with you that Pakwheels is an addiction......every possible free minute is spent here...:)...
Zahid was totally against this idea to go for an LC.....Used to say....."why you want to block so much money...when you will be hardly using it....Take my jeep when ever required....nice of him....He prefers that money should be in the bank...
But my approach was totally different....I think that what ever we have...I mean material things including money etc.....are only for this world...only the time you a living and healthy...Otherwise it is of no use....Because in second life (after death) the wealth of our "GOOD AIMAL" will be required.........
So If you use your resources in good directions .....no harm in it.....
So,decided to buy this LC Alone.....
Zahid Accompanied me when we handed over the Pay order and took delivery of the vehicle.......Because he could not stop me at that time...:D...
Hain......need of another co-driver???I think ,I will have to forward a link of this post to "bhabi".....through some proper channels........
Phir Daikhain Kia Banta Hai...lolzzzzz...
Oh sorry...I just noticed a big "IF".....
You were supposed to be the best in photography at civil services academy... sometimes it happens that you feel turned off ......but that is a temporary phase....and you come back.....So I think that after photography of Ladle....you will come back to "Nature and Human subjects"...

Not very good at computer and internet stuff brother......So what ever you suggested....crossed over my head....:(....
Only able to use/waste Pakwheels' space....

[spitfire]

@askhokhar.....
I am totally against this hunting stuff......never been involved in any such activity in my life......
Each and every word of Zahid's post is coming from my heart...

• Do we kill them for food?
• Have they caused any damage to us?
• Do they look better dead than alive?
• Aren't they important for our ecology and environment?

very good questionare........
I think no one will be able to answer these questions in "YES".....
Sorry to the brothers who are into hunting....but as you said,these words are coming straight from my heart.....
AND ....."Editor Ka Karaeen Ki Raye Say Mutafiq Honq Zaroori Nahin"..:).

Its a sport and is done legally, and after this it seems you are going to say the ritual of offering sacrifice on eid-au-ahza is also brutal and barbaric.

Have a look at this unique design of passenger carrying Suzuki Pickups in Abbotabad.....

Notice those black hair on the right side of the van...:D....

well.....don't understand.....these long girlish hair at the back of these vans..........almost every van is decorated in this way....

Oh no no Adnan.....you got it the wrong way....Allow me to clarify.......
EID-UL-AZHA is something which is in our religion.....Offering sacrifice on this occasion has some solid back ground ...and we follow that.....ALHAMDOLILLAH.....
But hunting is " killing animals and birds for fun"........which is absolutely Legal but some how "UNETHICAL"....in the view of a "group of people".........
I think I have tried to differentiate.......
