Today I went with Briana and Anand to Deva Sharif on the last day of Urs – it made for a crazy fun day trip. The place was exploding with people and food and knick knacks. What an eclectic assortment of goods…everything from camels to 3 feet wide parathas to ittar to magic tricks to funky hats (all) for sale. We ambled along the curved bazaar and stopped from stall to stall to feast our eyes out. When we got to the dargah (which was decked out in lights btw) we paid our respects and then chilled outside for a bit where we listened to some qawwalis. So my hopes are that by April I’ll be able to understand these qawwalis….my Urdu is slowly getting there Poetry in any language is hard, eh?
