Reality struck today as I realised that I must go to Islamabad for work tomorrow and then stay there for the next month at least, going into the office almost daily. I had managed to avert my eyes from this unfortunate reality, but there it is. I’m off tomorrow.
This morning I made a quick return to Daachi and became very grumpy. My rather rosy eyed opinion of yesterday tumbled as now it seemed to me that the balance between the aunties, the young hipsters and the craftspeople was not the greatest after all. Indeed, there were very few from the last category.
(I am typing this with the news on – ARY – truly the Fox News of this country. Absolutely repellent).
Dinner is here.
