Islamabad;I have travelled almost every corner of it but every single time I plan to visit any place there is always a mystery that is unveiled.While stopping by one day on our favorite spot near “Damn-e-Koh” which means the centre of the hill, I and my friend were just wandering around the same way as we used to before.A herd of goats came by.They were many with big horns which in local language called “pahari bakra”; the goat of the hill.And behind them was a weird man with a big stick in his hand, with odd looks as if we were standing on his piece of ground and he didn’t want us to be there.My friend spat out at the moment, “We are about to leave”,the man smiled and we were confused to see an abrupt change in his facial expressions.“You should have come here in the evening, to see the sunset” said the man.“Seriously, A sunset view Here in the evening?”asked my friend.The man said, “Yes it is the most beautiful sunset,and you would never get anyone like this ever”.We were scared because the edge we were at was sharp one, and this was one of the reasons that we always went there at day time and the local man was convincing us to stay till evening just for the ordinary sunset.The question that how is it possible that a sunset at this point can be more beautiful than those at other tourist resort around.After long thinking session we decided to stay.The time came and the sun started to sink,and the old man pointed out the herd coming back.the view seemed to be like they are coming back from a hard day at work with voices like I have never heard before.The sunset view grew vibrant when the man showed us his kids coming back from the school.We realized that why that sunset at the point where we used to go was important and beautiful for the man.It was because he saw life coming back to him in the form of his kids coming home.Traveling sometimes shows us realities about life that day we were convinced that love for family and relationships always exist and always will.
