Time with a friend

When mobility decreases, memories increase and reveal special experiences with a friend in Pakistan.

Driving through the landscape together again - it would be nothing compared to the past, the experiences.

He drove with us to Khewra in the Salt Range. The mine was not accessible at short notice due to an official guest. So we climbed the mountainside, which took some of the air out of our friend, who was smoking at the time. The three of us reached the plateau and enjoyed the beautiful view of the flat land in the distance.

Another time we visited his home village and saw his friend and mother in the rural atmosphere. We dined together and slept in a small room - the sky was starry and the air was pure and clean. The place - we forgot the name.

Through a friend who had written a lot about special tourist regions, we came across a hydraulic structure from the British period on one of our tours that provided water supply to the southern Punjab areas.

A trip to a majestically flowing watercourse was unforgettable; On the shore, a fisherman invited people to eat fried fish. It was so delicious - we rarely had such a wonderful lunch.

How nice would it be to get together and share memories...

2004 - 2022

PRELIMINARY NOTE

The projects of the initiator S. Siller were reported in quarterly magazines, DIN A4 format, each with a volume of 16, etc. in the DGFK newsletter, Indus River, Sanaga rive, Rio Magdalena, etc.


At the end of 1999 the print publications were discontinued and since the beginning of 2000, the reporting was carried out via an Internet website.

Since this method was not flexible enough, a blog THATTA KEDONA was set up in 2004.

It is said, that everything can be found on the internet. During research however, it was discovered: That's probably not the case! Important reports and representations were lost. As a countermeasure and also in order to minimize the loss of texts and images, the ForZat-RCAT data was transferred from digital back into the analogue.
