Some glimps of Old village of Pakistan

Awais Yaqub

Near Faisalabad my village is situated most of th evillages of Pakistan are like this old fashioned these bricks are used now but in past about 15 years ago homes were made of clay
ya these are electric wires small child can grab them easily from window! and that donkey cart is on wheels vegitable shop subscripts are advertisment of election campain

under construction window

This shot was not good in color so converted in BW with channel mixer homes are made close together

thread making machine now junk on roof of house

bricks of wall

again homes that blue drum is water drum

My dad and his family used to live here when homes were made of clay he spent his childhood here traveling miles on foot to study infact electricity came to this village quite late and GAS is supplied about 10 years ago
Enjoy Pakistan

great pictures. a real testimony to the power of the matrix revealing the subtle flaws of suppression when viewed as the end result of misguided faith.

Awais,

A truly fascinating study of small city urban life in Pakistan. What happens at night? Does the city come alive with lights and color?

Thanks for sharing,

Hi awais
glad to find you here and posting documentary shots - very nice too. Did the brick buildings survive the earthquake better?.
Hope life is getting sorted for your people.
cheers

Thanks for sharing your insight on Pakistan life, Awais. Glad to see someone putting that W1 to good use (my wife loves hers).

At night most of people go to sleep early because they wake up early 4 or 5 Am and go to factories Faisalabad is big industrial city and most people are labor at factories in festivals or mariages there are a lot of colours and fun

Faith dont suggest to live like this i bet everyone in the village want to live in better home and live happy life but most villagers are worker at factories with monthly income of about 50$ thanks to that faith who says "When eating a food always look at your neighbor"
i wonder i understood what you said
thanks for looking

I really like your first piccie, Awais. It really tells me what the neighborhood looks like, so very different from what we have here. Thanks!

Awais, few understand what Amadeus says. Don't think that it's any kind of language barrier, he made his statement intentionally hard to understand because he finds it fun and humurous.
