Yesterday we had a business trip from peshawar to kallar syedan, a tehsil in district Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. The part of the trip that is related to the business is neither important to discuss nor it has anything of the readers’ interest. What I am going to tell you is about the unplanned part, that really turned the trip from a boring one into a memorable one.
Along the roadside in kallar syedan, my eyes fell upon stalls that were selling roasted peanuts.
I convinced the comembers to pull over the car so that we could be able to know about the peanut stalls that were multiple in a row.
One of the vendors told me that the peanuts were a produce of Gojar khan, a location few kilometers ahead of Rawat.
I tasted both the unroasted as well as the roasted peanuts from many stalls, they tasted much better than those we use to eat in Peshawar.
Worth mentioning was the furnace-type thing they were using to cook peanuts in sand, yes in sand, the traditional way used to cook peanuts.
We took 3kg of sand-roasted peanuts at a reasonable price of Rs. 900 (almost US dollar 5.8). We enjoyed eating all the way long.
On the way back we had a flat Tyre. That is the second unplanned event that made our trip adventurous, because it became my first ever time changing a flat tyre in my life, I haven’t changed it myself ever before.
Tell me when the first time in your life you changed a flat Tyre yourself, and how was the experience?
