Winter and Baltistan:
Winter and Baltistan:
When the leaf begins to turn yellow and begins to lose its luster.
Field loses their beauty. The white sheet is stretched over the mountains. When
the water starts to slow down, Rivers like the Indus have difficulty
maintaining their flow. Then the climate change in Baltistan becomes
noticeable. People change their daily lives. Those who work hard during the day
are now beginning to relax. The beauties that used to enjoy working in the
fields now show off their appearance. They Sunbathing all the day, and as
evening falls, they close their homes completely and arrange for heating.
Because the nights are long, the neighbors go to
each other. It is the custom of the people of Baltistan to be humble for the
sake of the guests. So homeowners make a variety of items for their neighbors
to wake up at night. Which in previous periods were completely indigenous? But
over time, that is likely to change.
Children gather around the elders. An elderly traditionalist begins the story. At the end of the special title, the family presents the gift of traditional dried fruits to all these people. Everyone enjoys the story. The story is stopped at the end of a certain time and everyone goes home the next night hoping to continue it again.
