Darawar Fort Cholistan : <cneter>The Rohi, or Cholistan, is a barren desert tract, bounded on the north and west by the Hakra depression with ruins of old settlements along its high banks; it is still inhabited by nomads. It is at a distance of 30 km. from Bahawalpur. The word 'Cholistan' is derived from the word 'cholna' which means moving. It covers an area of about 16,000 square km and extends into the Thar Desert of India. The region was once watered by the Hakra River, known as the Saravati in vedic times. At one time there were 400 forts in the area and archaeological finds around the Darawar Fort, the only place with a perennial waterhole. The average annual rainfall is only 12 cm, and the little cultivation is made possible by underground wells, drawn up by the camels. The water is stored in troughs, built by the tribes, between sandhills and din waterholes called tobas. The forts here were built at 29 km intervals, which probably served as guard posts for the camel caravan routes. There were three rows of these forts. the first line of forts began from Phulra and ended in Lera, the second from Rukhanpur to Islamgarh, and the third from Bilcaner to Kapoo. They are all in ruins now, and you can see that they were built with double walls of gypsum blocks and mud. Some of them date back to 1000 BC, and were destroyed and rebuilt many times. Cholistan also boasts of many old forts such as Derawar,Vingrot, Banwar, Marcot, Wilhar, Maujgharh, Mao, Phuira and Din-gharh etc. This whole fort is made of clay and bricks and hight is 30 meters</center>

April 2006 Training Camp : Now I am doing monthly visits to make sure the team is tracking to the plan. The goal in this visit was to get some good numbers for time trials to see which events we can be competitive in. The athletes did ergometer testing as well as extensive seat racing and time trials. Zaheer got very good at getting the information plotted so the athletes could see it. We finally started to break ground on the ergometers where almost half of the athletes go their personal best while everybody got the best score of the season. The sweep boats are still not going as fast as I would like, but the double sculls are really moving along.

National Team Training - November 2005 : I coached the Pakistan Rowing Team for 10 days. This band of two dozen athletes are drawn from the Army, Navy, WAPDA and Colleges and made some impressive improvements. I also gave a coaches clinic for aspiring and current coaches. Zaheer Ahmad was crucial to getting things to run smoothly. Rizwan was the man behind the scene who got all the events organized and is the light that keeps Pakistan Rowing improving every year.

Karachi Boat Club : In November 2006, I was able to go our for a day to see the Pakistan Team row out of the Karachi Boat Club in preparation for the Asian Games in Doha. In the evening I got to see Kiran and Sama row. They were coached by Linda in the summer for the Junior Asian Games. All of this was arranged by Arif Ikram, the genius behind the revival of rowing at KBC. It was wonderful to see the hustle and bustle at the club as boys and girls got on the water. KBC has an impressive set of new shells and oars, and is hosting an international regatta in December.
