:lust:lust:lust:lust.... Realy happy the happiest and nicest thing i ever did no no not a photo sale :rolleyes

Well few days ago as usual I was flooding forums (I have nothing to do)
Then all of the sudden I received email. An Indian living in <st1:country-region><st1:place>UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> said “I was searching web for <st1:city><st1:place>Faisalabad</st1:place></st1:city>” and he came across my mug of photos.


Actually his mother now 75 was living in Pakistani area before partition. And moved to Indian side. Defiantly who can forget his child hood. It happened in 1947.
Well in 2006 her son searched the net for her village in which she lived and he came across my <st1:city><st1:place>Faisalabad</st1:place></st1:city> photos ! and asked me
“Do I know the village called Gunna ? ” reality was that my village is next to Gunna !
I discussed with dad and my uncle who lives in village next to Gunna. And we went there

    What a really kind thing you did, Awais. If there were more people like you , we would be much closer to world peace. Take care.
