In the quaint village, ‘neath the twilight’s spell,

An old man sits, his worries far away,

A lantern’s glow within his humble shell,

As bull draws water from the well’s deep clay.

In the village fair, a joyful sight to see,

Children ride on a pretend camel’s back,
With joyful laughter and hearts so merry,
They enjoy the lively festival’s track.

In the village square, folk singers gather,
With tambourines and drums, creating a lather,
Their enchanting tunes, hearts they tether,
As the crowd sways and claps together.

Outer entrance of a 19th century theatre in the busy cantonment of Rawalpindi, Pakistan. The building staged live performances prior its initial years, followed by its conversion to a cinema hall named “Odeon” – dedicated for screening Hollywood movies for decades. Its being renovated these days. -1

These are dried mangos. Very delicious.

The last remains of an outer wall of the British era built hospital in the cantonment of Rawalpindi, Pakistan. This marble plaque guided the patients. The hospital now wears a modern look.
