A Dream come true

Making a local connection Pakistan

A Dream come true Whenever I saw a picture of “Peer Ghaib” waterfalls in Bolan area of Baluchistan, Pakistan. There was a Rush of joy in my mind. Since I was in a hostel since my childhood, I did not go there. It was always been a dream of mine to realize the charisma of going there. Peer Ghaib is a place where there is a synagogue of a saint. In our local language we called saints as "Peer" and Ghaib means to "Vanish". The locals used to said that once there was a saint lived in this place. He use to worship there. The grave of that saint is there and people came to worship with there families. Charisma of that saint was that he used to vanish himself. It is a very Beautiful picnic point people all over Pakistan used to come here for picnic and to spent some quality time with there families and to experience of calmness of the nature. It was 2nd of January, 2016 when I was going to home on winter vacations. I was so happy because this time I had planned to go there. When I reached home, I spent some days with my family and then met my friends, discus my plan with them. They agreed and planned the trip. We were 4 friends Me, Waseem, Ijaz, and Riaz. The next day we packed our bags and got ready for the trip. We raised chicken meat, fruit, some salads, biscuits and chips from the main market. Then we started our journey. Bolan’s journey from my city is two hours and and it takes two hours from there to “Peer Ghaib” As we got closer to bolan my excitement increased. On the tops of mountain, a sheet of snow was shining from the sun’s rays. It was an amazing moment. The clear water of the springs in the lower river was charging four moons in the beauty of Bolan. We reached mach almost 2 past 15 hours from Mastung, we turned west from there, my heartbeat was accelerating because there was a board pointing towards “Peer Ghaib”. The road was turtle and we had to head up a hill and it was nothing short of an adventure for me. And now the moment when we turned west again from that mountain, the sound of water flowing among a bunch of trees in front of me caught my attention. As soon as I caught sight of this waterfall from the mountain, I felt that the time had passed and all the clocks in the world were stopped. We set up our tent in a corner of the waterfall and handed over their work to everyone. I decided to make tea. When I went to the waterfall for water, its water was fresh and cool, the place was majestic and was not less then paradise. I took some pictures there. That was the day when I came to realize that I am nothing. The vastness and variety of mother nature leave me stunned. My whole ego had been vanished. When I came back to the tent my friends were setting fire for the BBQ. I made tea for them. After taking tea we vendor for some time near the waterfall and take bath in that water. Make snaps, and enjoyed the charisma of nature. After some time we went back to our tent and the fire was gone and the coals were pushing. A friend started making BBQ and we got into gossips. We had our lunch and packed our luggage for return. It was evening, sun had set. I was not willing to leave this majestic place, but what was to be done I had to go back. I was really lost in the beauty and calmness of that place. I was looking the corner where we camped from the car window just like when two lovers look at each other while lying down. All the way I kept thinking about that place. This trip leaves an extra ordinary memory in my mind, because I noticed the beauty of nature live, and also noticed the true feeling of love at first site. thanks.
