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.
