Starey Mashaye
Salaam. Welcome to Tor Khan's blog ...
... to introduce me - I'm a son, a brother, a father, a husband, an uncle, a nephew, a cousin, a neighbour, a friend and an educationalist.
I'm also a slightly displaced Pashtoon who has lived most of his years amongst the rolling hills of Yorkshire. Some years ago, I made the break and since then have lived and worked in Doha, Minnesota and Abu Dhabi, travelling a little and returning for short stints to Bradford between each venture. Right now I'm in the UAE, but life's a journey ... and I'm a traveller ...
Here you'll find postings to things of interest, musings and captured moments that tell their own story. You'll also find a good dose of joy, wonder and contemplation.
I'll leave you with a couple of lines from Rahim Shah's Sandara Da Pukhtoon (Song of the Pashtoon):

Kabul, Ghazni, Paktia or Kandahar,
For all Pashtoons, Afghanistan is mother and father.

ReplyDeleteI wish I'd known about your blog ages ago! It's too good! My heart jumps with peace and joy when I see blogs and other websites by and about Pukhtuns.
Thank you. Thank you again and again!
Salaamoona Qrratugai!
ReplyDeleteI extend a warm welcome. This, in the tradition of Pashtoons, is your home too.
