"Sowing Life"

Taghm (Seed Sowing) Festival.

Taghm marks the start of the spring (agriculture) season in Gojal Hunza after several months of the bone-chilling winter. People of the valley after Taghm festival formally start farming, including irrigation of agricultural lands.

The Taghm festival starts with the preparation of a local cuisine called “Semn” in a cooking procedure dubbed in the Wakhi language as “Pirkiten.” Other traditional foods prepared during the festival include “Mul” and “Bath.”

The most interesting and exciting part of the Taghm festival is the Tumang, during which members of the “Shogun Putuk” (initiators) tribe officially announce start of the cultivation season by setting fire to leaves of a plant called “Yarz” and by throwing wheat seeds on the roof of an old house from inside the house through an opening in the ceiling called “Ricin” in Wakhi language. The next big thing in the Taghm festival is a game that features a man attired and acting like a bull. He entertains the audience by performing different playful acts.

After the game, the start of farming season is demonstrated with the Shogun Putuks ploughing the field in a traditional way (with the help of bulls), and small children being introduced to farming in a process called “Sk Spunder Khack.” The festival goers then eat the dishes prepared and brought in one place from across the village.

The people of Gulmit in particular, and those of Gojal Valley in general, have perfectly preserved the Taghm festival for centuries now.

‌When I looked in the mirror, it was as if I had taken an eraser to the unwelcome blemishes and wrinkles forced on me from getting older.

‌

‌And instead of looking tired, I started looking and feeling years younger too.

‌

‌The lines I used to spend an hour trying to cover up in the morning, suddenly began to fade.

‌

‌The saggy skin around my cheeks and under my chin lifted and became firm.

‌

‌I even started getting carded when I ordered wine every so often...

‌

‌Just like when I was 21!

I Even Surprised Myself One Morning When I Walked By The Bathroom Mirror Going From This To This:

‌If you’re like me, people used to notice you when you walked into a room.

‌

‌But now they look past you like you’re invisible.

‌

‌Or, maybe you don’t feel desired by your husband or partner...

‌

‌And are grappling with visible signs of aging...

‌

‌And even contemplating weird “solutions” such as “vampire” or “placenta” facials...

‌

‌Well, before you take extreme measures...

‌

‌Read this page until the very end, because I promise this simple evening routine will work wonders for you... naturally!

Stepping into the land of enchantment, I embarked on a transformative journey through the northern areas of Pakistan. With a heart brimming with anticipation and a mind ready to be captivated, I set foot in this magical region known for its breathtaking landscapes, towering peaks, and warm hospitality. Little did I know that the next few weeks would be a life-altering experience, immersing me in the beauty and culture of Pakistan's northern gems.

Hunza Valley: My adventure began in the fabled Hunza Valley, a place straight out of a fairytale. Surrounded by towering peaks, I found myself in awe of the majestic Rakaposhi and Ultar peaks that seemed to touch the sky. As I wandered through the terraced fields and apricot orchards, the warm smiles of the local people embraced me. Exploring the ancient Baltit Fort, I delved into the rich history and cultural heritage of the region.

Skardu: Journeying further, I arrived in Skardu, a gateway to heavenly landscapes. The turquoise waters of Satpara Lake reflected the surrounding snow-capped peaks, creating a postcard-perfect view. The thrilling ride to the world's highest cold desert, the Katpana Desert, left me speechless as I stood amidst the golden sands, marveling at nature's artistry. Skardu became my base for embarking on treks and adventures, each step leading me closer to discovering my inner strength.

Naltar Valley: In the tranquil embrace of Naltar Valley, I reveled in nature's kaleidoscope. The vibrant meadows painted a picture of serenity, while the snow-crowned peaks whispered tales of ancient glory. Skiing down the slopes during the winter season was an exhilarating experience, leaving an indelible mark on my soul.

Fairy Meadows: Nestled beneath the watchful gaze of Nanga Parbat, Fairy Meadows cast a spell on me. The emerald green meadows stretched endlessly, as if inviting me to leave the ordinary behind. Camping amidst the tranquility of nature, I witnessed the sun painting the mighty peak in shades of gold, a sight that etched its beauty into the depths of my being.

Khunjerab Pass: Crossing the highest paved international border, Khunjerab Pass took my breath away. The vastness of the Khunjerab National Park unfolded before me, with snow-capped peaks standing as guardians of the wild. Observing the rich biodiversity and catching a glimpse of the elusive Himalayan brown bear filled me with a profound sense of wonder and reverence for our natural world.

As my journey through the northern areas of Pakistan drew to a close, I carried a piece of this paradise within me. The splendor of Hunza Valley, the awe-inspiring landscapes of Skardu, the tranquility of Naltar Valley, the enchantment of Fairy Meadows, and the majestic beauty of Khunjerab Pass all left an indelible mark on my soul. Beyond the picturesque vistas, it was the warmth and kindness of the local people that made this journey truly unforgettable. I left with a renewed appreciation for nature's wonders and a deeper understanding of the diverse cultures that call this region home. The northern areas of Pakistan had opened my eyes, expanded my horizons, and gifted me memories that will forever reside in my heart.

There! I said in the past that i should totally make a personification for Hunza Valley, so here he is!! He represents the northern-most region of Pakistan (province gilgit Baltistan) Hunzai people are also called Burusho people, and their origins are a much debated topic. I can’t give a clear answer to which group they belong to, therefore i’ll associate them as they are, i.e Burusho group. They follow different sects of Islam and inhabit the Northern-most region of Pakistan. Burushos as a people group are also found in neighboring regions of Chitral and Kohistan (both of KPK). The Valley is naturally very beautiful and the crime rate is near zero!  The people of that region are very healthy as they consume domestic grown organic food and have high life expectancies. (Though this also means less infrastructural development, as that region is hard to travel to due to the slippery snow and mountains but Hunza Valley is also a popular tourist spot.)

Hunza’s character is rather mischievous and that of fun-going. He likes messing around with other districts and has a easy going attitude.

Now that Hunza is in the Picture, we can fully grasp the two extremes of Pakistani ethnicity-groups >:D

:D

This is a small educational segment made on pure impulse. So i hope you learnt something new today.

Snow Leopard Chasing Ibex | The Hunt The Cycle of Life

WWFPAK Celebrate World Wildlife Day with this rare footage of a snow leopard hunting an ibex.

Captured by Muhammad Osama, Wildlife photographer and filmmaker, the video shows a snow leopard chasing and feasting on a Himalayan ibex- giving us a glimpse of the cycle of life.

This snow leopard footage comes after the WWF team saw a herd of about 50 Himalayan #ibex near Khyber village, Hunza Valley - a common prey to the snow leopard population living in the area.

To restore a natural balance, the predator and the prey both contribute towards a healthy ecosystem, on which people and livelihoods closely depend. Only when this cycle of life continues, we can ensure sustainability for forests, people and wildlife.

MINA SHAFIQ (née SHARIF) is THIRTY YEARS OLD and a SOCIALITE amongst THE SACRED TWENTY-EIGHT in LONDON. She looks remarkably like AIYSHA HART and considers herself NEUTRAL. She is currently OPEN.

→ OVERVIEW:

tw: depression, death

A beautiful young witch with a healing heart, Mina Shafiq is in part defined by her epic love story that sadly ended in sorrow. Born in Bloomsbury to travel authors ISABELLA WESTWOOD and ABDULLAH SHARIF, Mina was raised in a privileged environment between her family townhouse in London and beautiful hotels around the globe. Mina’s early years were filled with adventure, visiting the beautiful jungles of India and the ruins and misty mountains of her father’s native country of Saudi Arabia. It was likely a result of her upbringing that Mina had a curious nature. Always looking to see what was round the corner and planning for her next adventure, Mina liked to live her life in the moment and never wanted the high of a new discovery to end. Sitting on their campsites or in luxurious hotels, Mina would be surrounded by maps and travel guides, prepared to list the history of the animals they would see on their visits and checking each one off in her copy of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which she clutched closely to her chest on all her various adventures. By the time Mina was ready to attend school she had seen over a third of the globe, so Hogwarts didn’t quite have the effect on her that it had on other children. Mina was excited by the great outdoors and plants and magical creatures she could only read about in books. The hippogriffs and mandrake roots who had a home at Hogwarts were not different nor interesting to Mina and so she spent the majority of her time at school dreaming of far off places she longed to see. 

Mina’s zest for life and dreamy personality quickly attracted a close friendship with PRIMROSE HOOKUM, who longed to get away from Hogwarts and begin her own fashion line. In the cold common room in the Ravenclaw Tower, Primrose and Mina would whisper long into the night about their dreams and ambitions, Primrose’s nose in a fashion magazine and Mina’s in a book of maps covered in doodles and notes which detailed where she longed to go after she finished school. Long nights spent giggling and plotting soon attracted the action of other Ravenclaw students, the two girls striking a friendship with ALBERT JORKINS and who often sought the company of books over people and was happy to sit on the velvet sofas snuggled in a blanket reading a copy of Virginia Woolf. Whilst Mina had explored a great deal of the magical world, she had seen virtually none of the Muggle one, her scrapbooks were filled with photographs of giant magical waterfalls and ancient castles in thick jungles lost to Muggles- but cities like Paris, Budapest and Hong Kong were a mystery to Mina she longed to explore.Her parents encouraged Mina to follow her heart and fill in the gaps in her knowledge of the world and unlike most parents with standing in Wizarding Society were not pushing Mina to find love or draw up contracts, she was young and ambitious and they wanted her to see the world before she settled down. 

After exploring Europe and The British Isles, at twenty, Mina packed a suitcase and made the long voyage to The Middle East, longing to better explore a part of the world she knew relatively well, ticking off places on her bucket list she had never been before. Map in hand and notebook in her pocket, Mina was exploring the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, in search of the coniferous forest which thrived within the area. Mina had been walking for some time when she finally stopped to ask for directions and RAYAN SHAFIQ was more than happy to help her. A fellow British wizard, Mina was surprised to see him in such a remote part of the region, until he revealed his extended family lived close by who he had been visiting for the summer. As they walked side by side, Mina did most of the talking, ready to tell Rayan about her ideas to travel the world and write and create. Aside from London and Pakistan, Rayan hadn’t travelled much. His family were a member of The Sacred Twenty-Eight and were focused more on him marrying well ready to take over the estate which his elder brother had no interest in. Mina wasn’t sure of the exact moment she fell in love with Rayan, but by the time she had reached Jahaz Banda, she had realised she was more engrossed in their meeting than she had been with the beautiful meadow and mountains she had come to explore. 

For the rest of her time in Pakistan, Rayan was by her side. A writer of poetry, as Mina would take photographs and write about the things she saw, unbeknownst to Mina, Rayan was writing about her. Pouring his heart out in prose as he fell in love with Mina as they swam in beautiful lakes and danced in the moonlight. Before they left Pakistan the two were married in the Hunza Valley in a small ceremony where they declared their love for one another and explored the rest of The Middle East as man and wife. When the pair returned back to London a year later, both Mina’s parents and Rayan’s were outraged the pair had gotten married. Mina’s parents believed she was too young to have married someone like Rayan and not know what would be expected of her, whilst Rayan’s had wanted more for the future heir of their family than a witch who didn’t want to settle down and play ball. The Shafiq family were far more traditional and lavish than Mina’s, with his mother holding a seat in the Pura Sorores Society which she had designs on Mina joining. Not wanting to sacrifice her dreams, she and Rayan made the joint decision to leave London and continue travelling, much to the anger of their parents. The pair lived a happy life, seeing the world and making memories until just under three months ago. As they were exploring South America, Rayan suddenly became unwell and was admitted to hospital. Much to Mina’s horror and despair Rayan died three days later, the cause of which was determined as Scrofungulus Disease. 

Mina was heartbroken. Until she had met Rayan, Mina hadn’t much thought about love or longed for romance but something about the death of Rayan had broken Mina. Lying in her bed in Brazil alone she stayed, surrounded by the poems he had written about her and kept to himself all those years before and wondered if she would ever be truly happy again. Mina was very prepared to stay like that, alone in their little studio apartment in Rio De Janeiro where she’d sit in her red wedding gown and read the poems until she felt tired enough to sleep. Mina was only thirty years old when her husband passed away and ZAHRA SHARIF and Mina’s parents were not about to let their daughter slip away from them when she needed them most.Packing up her things, Mina returned to London and bore the awkwardness of seeing her husband’s family. His parents were unkind to her, but Mina knew from the poems he had written that he had silently longed for them to be closer. Only his twin sister SHAHLYLA SHAFIQ was kind to her, aiming each day to pull her sister-in-law up out of bed with Zahra and try to find a new ray of light in the world that made the beginning the day anywhere other than her bed in Bloomsbury worth it. The battering from her husband’s family didn’t help matters. LARA SHAFIQ was her biggest critic. firmly believing that Mina had not been good enough for her brother, blaming her for taking him away and his death. 

Lost with how to make amends with them, Mina joined the ranks of the other Shafiq women and accepted a position in the Pura Sorores Society helping to plan the upcoming season of parties and balls. Mina had little interest in forcing people into marriage or deciding on the right shade of blue for floral arrangements, but had gotten good at feigning interest with Shahlyla by her side who created enough melodrama for her mother and sister to play with on purpose to leave Mina alone. Getting over the loss of Rayan was hard and she was grateful to have family by her side. It would take a long time for her to put the pieces of herself back together again, but Mina knew she was strong and was prepared to live life to the full for the pair of them. Day to day life had been becoming easier until Shahlyla arrived home one day to a poem on her doorstep. Written in Rayan’s hand, seeing a new poem dragged up a lot of old pain for Mina, though the departure from his usual beautiful prose caught their attention. It was a much darker poem than she’d read of his before, shrouded in death and mystery that alluded to something greater than himself. For now Mina tells herself that she has misunderstood the meaning, that her husband died of an illness she couldn’t have foreseen... but something in the words seem as though Rayan knew death was coming, giving new light and new pain to Mina’s life she isn’t sure she can bear.
