To Makran
23 September 2013
There was no direct connection between Karachi and Gwadar. You travelled up north to Lasbela, thought the desiccated Jhao Pass to Awaran (oh, so beautiful and picturesque) and then across 250 km of the most anxiety-making desert to Turbat where you arrived with much of the desert deposited upon your person. In between you spent the night sleeping on the sandy floor of an inn fearing some scorpion or centipede will get into your ears or, worse, your pants.

Thank you, Memoona. Saima, Imtiaz will be very upset if you give me his sitara. Mazhar, if you are Punjabi, stay clear. We travelled with armed escort. Srikanth, please watch this space. Anonymous, we dodged both successfully.

Waiting for your post on the journey. Having huge family relation with FWO, I really aknowledged the great work FWO has done in the country to connect far flung communities. But as usual, no body knows and for the main stream media, such stories are not juicy enough. Great to see people like you bringing such things to life.
