Fabric Shopping & Independence Day

 Picking out fabric at Ashiyana... they have atleast 40 fabric shops there all in one place



 Another shop... we picked out more fabric here



 Ten different prints for Ariana and two for me. Total cost 4500 Rupees ($45)




 Getting ready for Independence Day... The flag goes on the rooftop



 The view of the city from the roof



We put up "Jhandis" in the front of the house

The other interesting happening was that my grandfathers friend and wife came to visit. And we did the the typical thing, our entire family (my grandparents, my mother, aunt, uncle, cousin, Ariana, Mikael and I) hung out with them. It hit me at some point in the visit that this is so normal for us, how strange it would be in the West to make it a point to hang out with your grandfathers friends everytime they came by.

On that note, Happy Independence Day to Pakistan... googles image on www.google.pk today:
