ajnabi > Two friends wait for their tonga (horse cart) to fill up. One, in a blue vest and turban appears to be a farmer from the rural areas around Pindi. His friend wears a knitted beanie which keeps his bald head warm in the cool winter evening.
ajnabi > The chitrali topi, probably the most famous of all Pakistani hats. Known for its reputed place of orgin, Chitral, a mountainous region along the Afghan border. It became a worldwide hit during the Afghan war against the Soviet Union when any mujhahid worth his kalashnikov sported one. It is usually made of course sheep wool like this one or fine felt. Also known as the pakol, it is Pakistan's only brimmed hat. Extremely warm in winter and amazingly comfortable. This man, from Rawalpindi, asked me to take his picture.
