It was a sunny winter day and a weekend as well. The children do not have access to play grounds but they are used to playing cricket on the street. Cricket is the most played sport in this part of the world.

In the old times, Lahore was surrounded by a wall and thirteen gates to protect it. Most of the gates have disappeared but you can still see the original architecture with people still living in those houses. It is a jumble of shops and residential buildings or both. Old men like to stand in the street and fill their leisure time with their pals or just staring at their familiar surroundings and the activity.
