ajnabi > The kaffiyeh, made famous by Yasser Arafat, has become increasingly popular in Pakistan in the past few decades. The kaffiyeh, is a long piece of a soft cotton blend woven to a prescribed small chequered pattern. While it is often worn to make a religious statement it is also worn as a symbol of solidarity with other Muslim brothers. This man reading the Quran, is in the forecourt of the Wazir Khan mosque in Lahore's old city.
ajnabi > The red beret (sometimes its a turban) signals this man is an ear cleaner. The steel spikes with cotton wrapped around their tips are what go into the ears of his customers. Customers stand in line for a long time for a good ear cleaning. Rawalpindi.

ajnabi > A taxi driver waits for a fare in Rawalpindi. The Morris Minor was until just a few years ago the preferred car by taxi drivers in Rawalpindi. Odd choice because it has less space than a phone booth and had to be hot and copper wired together to keep moving. But of course, Pakistanis are lovers of beauty and there is nothing quite so elegant as the wonderful round, egg shape of the Morris. It was on the market beween 1948 - 1971 in the UK. Much longer in Pakistan.
