Trek to Nanga Parbat Base Camp : I set the team a challenge. Trek from Raikot Bridge where the Karakoram Highway crosses the Indus, up to the Base Camp of Nanga Parbat. This is one of the ten treks in the world with the fastest elevation gain. The men started at 4000 ft on wednesday evening at 4:00 pm and were up at Fairy Point at 9000 ft in 3-4 hours. The next morning we left at 7:00 am and the first team was at Base Camp by noon at almost 13-14000 ft. The team then descended back to Fairy Point and jeeped to Raikot because we were running out of daylight. The locals thought it was crazy and could not be done so quickly, but the team was fit and strong and showed great resilience, stamina and teamwork to accomplish this difficult task. It was a most awesome adventure.

Earthquake in Pakistan : Pictures from the Earthquake zone in Pakistan. I was there for a few days in November to deliver tents and develop an understanding of the magnitude of the task still remaining. The primary purpose of the visit was to coach the Pakistan Rowing Team but any off day took me up North with the help of my cousins, Adil and Shahid and Uncle Joji. Many thanks to Matt Cawthorne, Matthew Ellinwood, Rich Siemer, Jeff Iqbal, Tariq and Ayusha Chaudhary who all helped with buying and shipping the tents. This is a good cause and you have made a difference.

Cultural Heritage : Every year University of Balochistan, Quetta (Pakistan) organises cultural and sports week to promote ethnic harmony amongst its various ethnic students as well as to create opportunities for them to participate actively in sports and other events, such as music competition and live stage shows etc. During the whole week the students as well as guests from outside of the university visit other ethnic group's stand/stall/tent and get served with tea/cold drink or any other traditional meal. The traditional set up of various ethnic stands/stalls are usually very reflective of one's rich cultural heritage and are really very helpful to understand each other's cultural heritage. Because of good, amicable and tolerant ambience that we had in the early 80's I would say our golden weeks used to be really 'GOLDEN' But unfortunately over the last few years due to intolerant religious elements who foment only hatred between the adherents of different religious schools of thought or between people of different ethnic background, the situation regarding ethnic tension has greatly deteriorated.
