  32. 1:16meat, we are eating "Dugh-e Madar."
  33. 1:18Really?
  34. 1:19I understood, let me tell you, it has
  35. 1:21no meat, "Dugh-e Madar." If you search
  36. 1:24for "Dugh-e Madar" in any country's
  37. 1:26website, it will come up.
  38. 1:27Whose house is it? The lady of the
  39. 1:29house.
  40. 1:31What do you think of this grape, is it
  41. 1:32good?
  42. 1:37No, I don't know grapes at all, I've
  43. 1:39never seen them, just how to prepare it
  44. 1:41, how is this...
  45. 1:48Hit it, hit it, hit it well. In the
  46. 2:57cave. We have come from Kari Sufi
  47. 3:31village to make this video for you, to
  48. 3:33show you that if you come to Kari Sufi,
  49. 3:35you will see this modern and advanced
  50. 3:36agriculture system; they have planted
  51. 3:38fields, and they use drip irrigation
  52. 3:40systems for them. Come, let’s go
  53. 3:46inside here. It is there. This castle
  54. 3:54is one of the old war castles of Kari
  55. 3:56Sufi, it has four towers, two towers
  56. 3:58are in the frame, and that is the third
  57. 4:00tower; and we will show you the next
  58. 4:02tower as well, as in any region that
  59. 4:04you go further from the city, you see
  60. 4:06these old castles. If possible, let’s
  61. 4:13go inside this castle, take a video of
  62. 4:15these towers, and show them to you.
  63. 4:21These fields you see, these are melon
  64. 4:23fields. These are all fresh melons. Hey
  65. 4:30, come here! Come here, show this melon
  66. 4:33. Look at it. Well, there are melons,
  67. 4:41and there is also a field of fresh
  68. 4:42crops. We are harvesting melons. Is it
  69. 4:49ripe or not? Well, it’s not ripe yet,
  70. 5:00respected one. Come here. This doesn't
  71. 5:14happen in a day or two; it produces a
  72. 5:16lot of fruit until the time it freezes.
  73. 5:22Let's go.
  74. 5:23It keeps producing. Where are these
  75. 5:28seeds?
  76. 5:30Did the engine get muddy? No, don't get
  77. 5:34it muddy, that diesel engine is
  78. 5:36completely ruined. From.
  79. 5:40Yes.
  80. 5:41No, it won't get muddy, its pressure is
  81. 5:44high. My friend thought of old diesel
  82. 5:50engines; I told him to keep the AC on,
  83. 5:52since it's hot, the weather is very hot
  84. 5:55here. There's wind too, and it's a very
  85. 5:59hot and scorching wind. You didn't
  86. 6:03check the engine, let it cool down a
  87. 6:05bit; man, one time the diesel...the
  88. 6:06whole field and the engine, it said the
  89. 6:09diesel is all gone, it needs to cool
  90. 6:10down a bit. Turn it to this side, then
  91. 6:54turn it to that side.
  92. 6:56No, no, no.
  93. 7:00We are doing well, thank God.
  94. 7:02Are you happy?
  95. 7:03Everything is fine.
  96. 7:04How are you doing?
  97. 7:05Thank God, I am fine.
  98. 7:06Do you know this uncle? This uncle is
  99. 7:11the one from our previous program, we
  100. 7:13had a chickpea cart, you were
  101. 7:15harvesting the chickpeas, what did you
  102. 7:17harvest, uncle?
  103. 7:18Apricots.
  104. 7:19You harvested apricots.
  105. 7:23Are you well, brother? Bless you.
  106. 7:26Long live, have they arrived yet?
  107. 7:28No, they haven't arrived.
  108. 7:29No, they haven't arrived either.
  109. 7:31No, they just arrived now.
  110. 7:32How many jeribs did you plant?
  111. 7:34Jeribs? I was here guarding them, I
  112. 7:36came a few days ago.
  113. 7:37Guarding?
  114. 7:38Yes.
  115. 7:39Very well.
  116. 7:40What is this area called, we passed
  117. 7:42through it earlier?
  118. 7:44It's called Karfi.
  119. 7:45Karsofi.
  120. 7:46Yes.
  121. 7:47What is this mountain called, whose
  122. 7:48mountain is it?
  123. 7:49This is Adam Khan's mountain.
  124. 7:51Adam Khan's mountain.
  125. 7:52Yes.
  126. 7:53Well, did you have the chickpea cart
  127. 7:55today, uncle?
  128. 7:58Yesterday my tire went flat, I couldn't
  129. 8:00bring it, I couldn't get the
  130. 8:01wheelbarrow tires.
  131. 8:07If you had brought it, you should have
  132. 8:09fixed the flat yourself, you worked on
  133. 8:10it but didn't fix the flat properly.
  134. 8:15You didn't fix the flat, why didn't you
  135. 8:17fix the tire? Why didn't you repair the
  136. 8:21puncture?
  137. 8:23A flat tire needs its own repairman,
  138. 8:25it's not possible to work like that,
  139. 8:26your work is ongoing.
  140. 8:29No, it happened all of a sudden.
  141. 8:32Yes, it happened suddenly, Sofi.
  142. 8:36Happy.
  143. 8:38Hopefully, this diesel is completely...
  144. 8:40these new motors, these new electric
  145. 8:42motors that we say will let it cool
  146. 8:44down a bit.
  147. 8:47What's the talk?
  148. 8:49Everything is good, thank God.
  149. 8:52Sofi, Abdul Rashid is one of our
  150. 8:53friends that you brought from your city
  151. 8:55so that when we go to these areas, we
  152. 8:57take a guide with us for every program.
  153. 9:00Sofi Abdul Rashid knows these areas
  154. 9:02completely. Now he is taking us to the
  155. 9:06main fields, the main fields of the
  156. 9:08region, from this Karfi desert; you
  157. 9:10take a video, tell them the fields are
  158. 9:12well-grown here and the harvest has
  159. 9:14started too, where are the desert
  160. 9:15fields? There are many fields.
  161. 9:18The desert fields are by the road and
  162. 9:20there are also some near the shrine.
  163. 9:21Shrine, the shrine of Mait, the shrine
  164. 9:24of Mait Sofi, he said the shrine of
  165. 9:26Mait.
  166. 9:26There is one by the shrine too, this
  167. 9:28field is mostly finished.
  168. 9:30Finished? It's finished, there were no
  169. 9:33fields at all, plant them all.
  170. 9:38Melons, not melons, there are melons by
  171. 9:40the road, there is the shrine here, the
  172. 9:42whole desert, you look everywhere as
  173. 9:44far as the eye can see.
  174. 9:49Actually, there was no farming here at
  175. 9:51all, there were no houses in these
  176. 9:52areas, since the road was built, the
  177. 9:54road...
  178. 9:55Well.
  179. 9:55After that, the area was developed.
  180. 9:57There was nothing here.
  181. 9:59This part is the ring road, the bypass
  182. 10:01road, where vehicles are passing
  183. 10:03through. And those mountains you see,
  184. 10:07those high, towering peaks, those are
  185. 10:09the mountains of the Taimani project
  186. 10:11area. Yes, all those mountains you see
  187. 10:16in the image are part of the Taimani
  188. 10:18project area, where work is currently
  189. 10:20underway.

  215. 12:16dish), we eat "Qachi" and dried meat.
  216. 12:17Oh, I understood. Let me tell you, that
  217. 12:20meat, that "Madar-e Naim," that "Dough"
  218. 12:22(yogurt drink), if you search for it on
  219. 12:24websites, you'll find it all over.
  220. 12:27Who is "Madar-e Naim"?
  221. 12:28The lady, Naim's mother, come, come,
  222. 12:31come! She's here.
  223. 12:37This tree that is here, this tree, it's
  224. 12:39from my father's time, under this tree,
  225. 12:41there's a hyena's head. Whoever is "
  226. 12:43shashband"(unable to urinate), I make
  227. 12:45them go around it three times, and the
  228. 12:47blockage clears. Yes, a hyena's head,
  229. 12:50take it one day to show...Whenever you
  230. 12:52are "shashband"(blocked), call me, put
  231. 12:54a Rupee in the account, come and take a
  232. 12:57turn.
  233. 12:58A turn around the tree.
  234. 12:59Take a turn.
  235. 13:01Three turns.
  236. 13:02What does it say?
  237. 13:03One who used to take the tray, those
  238. 13:05who used to take the tray...I used to
  239. 13:07bring it...I made it fresh, it's
  240. 13:09difficult for us here.
  241. 13:12Almost 30-35 years ago I cooked, cooked
  242. 13:15by Naim Shah's mother's hands, let's
  243. 13:17say...
  244. 13:20It means it has a name, even if it's on
  245. 13:22television.
  246. 13:24If it were on television, those who ate
  247. 13:26it would say, "My place is so..."
  248. 13:28Those who ate it, enjoyed the dried
  249. 13:30meat and yogurt, let's bring a plate so
  250. 13:32we can eat too, what...
  251. 13:33Yeah, she's currently in the city.
  252. 13:35Mother isn't here. "Madar-e Naim" is in
  253. 13:37the city, that is.
  254. 13:38The brides aren't giving Mother.
  255. 13:39The brides...one is in Turkey, two are
  256. 13:42in Iran.
  257. 13:43May dust fall upon you! When you
  258. 13:46arrived, if you had called two days
  259. 13:47earlier, I would have set things up
  260. 13:49here. I would have given you a whole
  261. 13:51chicken; I would have given you "Naim's
  262. 13:53dish," the dried meat, right here I
  263. 13:54would have served you. Since you came
  264. 13:58today, what about the grapes and stuff?
  265. 14:04Chicken, yogurt, Madar-e Naim, butter,
  266. 14:06we didn't prepare. It will be ready.
  267. 14:11Well, this is the heart of it. These.
  268. 14:15This heart is young, I kept it for you.
  269. 14:18We came here, if there is any task or
  270. 14:20service, I am at your service.
  271. 14:22What's the situation?
  272. 14:23Khalili grapes and seedless grapes.
  273. 14:25Well, the Khalili grapes have ripened.
  274. 14:27It has become like this, should we try
  275. 14:29picking them or not, or should Mother
  276. 14:30check them herself?
  277. 14:31No, Mother has no authority over the
  278. 14:33grapes, actually.
  279. 14:34She doesn't have authority over the
  280. 14:36grapes; she has authority over
  281. 14:37everything else.
  282. 14:38But not the grapes.
  283. 14:39The money from the treasury, the pantry
  284. 14:41, and the post—that's all in her
  285. 14:43hands.
  286. 14:44Go ahead, please.
  287. 14:46Is the orchard far from here?
  288. 14:50Is your orchard far?
  289. 14:51Well, if it’s far, never mind, I
  290. 14:53thought it was right here.
  291. 14:55We will go with you; the car gets there
  292. 14:57in a minute.
  293. 14:57Sit down, let’s go. Let’s go so we
  294. 15:02can show you the gardening of Kare-Sofi
  295. 15:04village. I’m very excited.
  296. 15:19Is this the place?
  297. 15:22At this very spring, a person sat with
  298. 15:24their sheep.
  299. 15:25One day we came here, you and I.
  300. 15:32We came here to that friend of ours who
  301. 15:33was selling his goods, what did he
  302. 15:35bring? He brought help.
  303. 15:39That was Kare-Sofi, behind that tower,
  304. 15:41the plaza.
  305. 15:46A friend gave us some help, saying go,
  306. 15:48go, you are a stranger. Hand. Let it be
  307. 15:57fresh, hand it over. Let the hand be
  308. 16:02fresh, no matter where it's from,
  309. 16:04it’s a blessing.
  310. 16:05A big Afghan effort.
  311. 16:07Hey. Dough and these things, if you
  312. 16:12find the time, please set a day for us.
  313. 16:16God willing, we will set a day soon; we
  314. 16:18will enjoy some home cooking, you know.
  315. 16:25No, as we said, we are relatives; my
  316. 16:27son or my wife's son will come.
  317. 16:33Still.
  318. 16:36Well, Abdul Salam, our house was where
  319. 16:38the message was; we haven't seen each
  320. 16:40other for a long time.
  321. 16:46Kare-Sofi is a very old village, Uncle,
  322. 16:48a very historic village.
  323. 16:50Because I am in this house next to
  324. 16:52Abdul Salam’s house, my cousin’s,
  325. 16:54the same house in front of you, yes.
  326. 16:56Now, the house next to you, what is it
  327. 16:58called, Uncle?
  328. 16:59Machine.
  329. 16:59Uncle, we came here, they have old
  330. 17:01mud-brick houses. Behind that, it’s
  331. 17:06only 54 years old, nothing more.
  332. 17:13Alright, let’s go to Mother’s
  333. 17:15garden, even though if there were time
  334. 17:16today, if there were time today, we
  335. 17:18could have had some of Mother’s
  336. 17:20cooking for lunch; she is very famous
  337. 17:21and well-known.
  338. 17:27Those who watch TV know who Mother is
  339. 17:30and why she is so famous.
  340. 17:31She has many great qualities.
  341. 17:33We call her Mother Kare-Sofii, so you
  342. 17:36know, Mother...well, you recognize her.
  343. 17:39Sir, Mother is Mother, think of Mother,
  344. 17:42bravo.
  345. 17:46Come on, the garden is one of the most
  346. 17:48luxurious and beautiful ones; this gate
  347. 17:50is an old, old gate, Uncle, look at the
  348. 17:52lock and the chain, it’s all from an
  349. 17:54old gate. Light it up, let it be bright
  350. 18:04.
  351. 18:05It’s showing off, it’s showing off.
  352. 18:08Undoubtedly, undoubtedly, by God, you
  353. 18:10have great taste, Uncle.
  354. 18:14Uncle, come forward, there’s nothing
  355. 18:16left empty here; we use this land for
  356. 18:18everything.
  357. 18:20We use this fertilizer; we use this
  358. 18:22fertilizer, it keeps the soil
  359. 18:24productive.
  360. 18:25How many gardens do you have here?
  361. 18:26The garden is almost three jeribs.
  362. 18:29Three jeribs?
  363. 18:30It makes three jeribs.
  364. 18:31How many types of grapes do you have?

  378. 18:55Where is the Zirjomi?
  379. 18:56Zirjomi is a type of grape, similar to
  380. 18:58others, but it's softer and slightly
  381. 19:00different.
  382. 19:01Aha.
  383. 19:03It's like that again.
  384. 19:04How many types of grapes can you name?
  385. 19:07Tell me, and I will write them down.
  386. 19:09You name them, and I’ll count.
  387. 19:10Well, kishmishi (raisin grapes).
  388. 19:13Rochi.
  389. 19:15Khaliri, Lal, Red, Hosseini, Poshingsi,
  390. 19:19Fakhri, and again, Rochi, Khaliri.
  391. 19:25I’m going, let’s list them. Let me
  392. 19:28say.
  393. 19:30Loghi, another one.
  394. 19:32Another one.
  395. 19:34Shangalkhani, Shangalkhani is not in
  396. 19:36the garden.
  397. 19:37Let’s name them.
  398. 19:39We are naming them; we said
  399. 19:40Shangalkhani, and another one, Mishi.
  400. 19:44Askari.
  401. 19:45We have Askari, we have Askari grapes.
  402. 19:48I mentioned Sanginak and Zirjomi and
  403. 19:50those; understand that Rochi is black
  404. 19:52and white. Maybe our Rochi isn't even
  405. 19:54in Herat. Black, white, and Siwaye.
  406. 19:59Siwaye, Rochi...by God, maybe he’s
  407. 20:01going crazy, telling us to put the
  408. 20:03camera up there to catch the happiness.
  409. 20:10He says...
  410. 20:14Speak clearly. Don't worry about the
  411. 20:17evidence, just focus on this kishmishi
  412. 20:19grape.
  413. 20:21There are so many grapes this year; the
  414. 20:24vines are heavy.
  415. 20:26Heavy, indeed.
  416. 20:31Let there be grapes.
  417. 20:34By God, you are a skilled gardener;
  418. 20:36look at the furrows, how clean they are
  419. 20:38. See how clean they are.
  420. 20:45Thorns, weeds, and such—the owner
  421. 20:47shows he takes care of every vine. Any
  422. 20:52garden with such vines has a talented
  423. 20:54and capable gardener. Now, if we’ve
  424. 20:58understood their faults, if they want
  425. 21:00any benefit, they should tell us. We
  426. 21:03will give you whatever you need; just
  427. 21:04come and manage our garden.
  428. 21:06Show us what we should do.
  429. 21:08What should we do for the next two
  430. 21:10years? Look at these furrows. Point the
  431. 21:14camera right here, and we’ll go to
  432. 21:16the other end. If you see furrows like
  433. 21:20this, look from that end down.
  434. 21:23Look at what?
  435. 21:24How many meters are the vines above the
  436. 21:26furrow?
  437. 21:2660 meters.
  438. 21:28No, they aren't that high because the
  439. 21:30vines are old.
  440. 21:31They still grow, there's still room.
  441. 21:33There's still space.
  442. 21:35There is space, and they are still
  443. 21:36growing.
  444. 21:38There are still trees, and we still
  445. 21:40have Sultan Shahdi.
  446. 21:45Sultan Shahdi, that one is from the old
  447. 21:47times; it’s great when it ripens.
  448. 21:52Meaning, this furrow is Fakhri, right?
  449. 21:54This is completely Fakhri.
  450. 21:56Completely Fakhri.
  451. 21:57So this one is completely Mirmayi.
  452. 22:00Identify every furrow.
  453. 22:01Every furrow is marked; the whole
  454. 22:03furrow is Mirmayi. Yes, completely
  455. 22:08Mirmayi, it has nothing else; it has
  456. 22:10two furrows of Mirmayi.
  457. 22:12Mirmayi, yes.
  458. 22:14Mirmayi also has old, old vines, yes.
  459. 22:18Where is the Rochi? At the very end,
  460. 22:23that one is Poshingsi,
  461. 22:24Poshingsi-Hosseini.
  462. 22:26Good.
  463. 22:27Understood, thanks be to God.
  464. 22:29This apple here is a sugar apple, it's
  465. 22:31not found anywhere else in Herat. Like
  466. 22:34rock candy, 20 days or a month ago, it
  467. 22:36was eaten with tea just like sugar.
  468. 22:39Instead of sweet, we call it sugar
  469. 22:41apple.
  470. 22:42That one is a sugar apple, and this is
  471. 22:44a sugar apple too, but they have pests.
  472. 22:47Apply medicine, uncle, apply medicine.
  473. 22:49There is no medicine, there is nothing.
  474. 22:54Even if we apply medicine, what should
  475. 22:56we do? What should we feed them? This
  476. 22:58year, whatever I spent, God knows...
  477. 23:01I had no use for it at all, for example
  478. 23:03. Stay away from this.
  479. 23:07This is the Sultan Shah apple, this is
  480. 23:09the Sultan Shah one.
  481. 23:10Well.
  482. 23:12This is the little pomegranate, you
  483. 23:14tell me, this little pomegranate.
  484. 23:16When these ripen, we don't finish them;
  485. 23:19they are so sweet, everyone eats them.
  486. 23:22This is the apricot tree here, they
  487. 23:25call it "ghaisi" here, haha.
  488. 23:27In Iran, they call it "Mohammad Ali
  489. 23:29Bargi."
  490. 23:30Well, Mohammad Ali Bargi.
  491. 23:31Here, if you eat them when they are
  492. 23:33ripe, it’s a championship.
  493. 23:36If you eat a hundred of them.
  494. 23:37From this apricot tree, whoever eats
  495. 23:40three of these, uncle says he’s a
  496. 23:42champion, because it’s so sweet, so
  497. 23:44sweet.
  498. 23:45These gardens are "Karsafi."
  499. 23:47Karsafi.
  500. 23:48The Karsafi gardens are different;
  501. 23:50it’s also the Pir-e Hashim Ju garden,
  502. 23:53Pir-e Nimju.
  503. 23:56Pir-e Nimju, how did you graft this
  504. 23:58apple? I’m amazed, I swear by God.
  505. 24:03Well, it’s a charity, it’s a
  506. 24:05charity, nothing else.
  507. 24:06Try grafting two of these apples, just
  508. 24:08leave them alone.
  509. 24:12Let’s graft this apple grape.
  510. 24:17I’ve never seen this kind of apple
  511. 24:19grape, I’ve never seen it at all,
  512. 24:21just this one. I wonder how it tastes,
  513. 24:26this apple.
  514. 24:29Hit it, hit it, hit it.
  515. 24:32Well, how, Uncle Pin? Do it.
  516. 24:38Grafting apples is really amazing, keep
  517. 24:40these so they sprout again. When will
  518. 24:46the figs be ready, uncle? The figs will
  519. 24:49be ready in 20 days, God willing. Still
  520. 24:56, some parts you have to prune. Okay.
  521. 25:02Grafted apples, I’ve never seen such
  522. 25:04big apples, and I’m a gardener myself
  523. 25:06.
  524. 25:08This, for the first time, I think most
  525. 25:10friends wouldn't believe it if they saw
  526. 25:12it, I’m just going to check it.
  527. 25:15It’s reality, it’s grown by itself.
  528. 25:17Don't look at these trees, they don't
  529. 25:19have any, do they? They do.
  530. 25:20No apricots.
  531. 25:22Not apricots, just the trees we showed,
  532. 25:24right friends?
  533. 25:25Just take the apple, pick it, take it,
  534. 25:28eat it, say "do it, do it." You told us
  535. 25:31about this tree, and we do whatever you
  536. 25:33say.
  537. 25:40This is "Shah Kolah"(King Hat), Ghulam,
  538. 25:43because we like "Shah Kolah."
  539. 25:46Well, Ghulam was born a king, he is the
  540. 25:48king.
  541. 25:50Shah Kolah.
  542. 25:50Shah Kolah, yes, that’s my surname.
  543. 25:54Okay.
  544. 25:55Well, Ghulam is known as Shah Kolah.
  545. 25:58Shah Kolah, it’s a funny one.
  546. 26:01This surname "Kolah"(Hat)...if you say,
  547. 26:04"Hey Ghulam Kolah," he gets upset if
  548. 26:06someone calls him that.
  549. 26:07He gets upset, I really get upset.
  550. 26:10Does he get upset? No.
  551. 26:11He gets upset.
  552. 26:12He has one thing, he says, "I am the
  553. 26:14Kolah who is officially registered."
  554. 26:17Yes, yes, yes, 25.
  555. 26:20At 25, I know, a good registered Kolah.
  556. 26:25My surname is a registered one.
  557. 26:27What’s the reason for taking your hat
  558. 26:28off and putting it on your head?
  559. 26:30That’s for the sake of the hat.
  560. 26:32One.
  561. 26:33When there is no wind, I take off my
  562. 26:35hat and give a sign for the wind to
  563. 26:37blow.
  564. 26:37Let the wind blow, let it.
  565. 26:39Yes, bald with the help of a bald one.
  566. 26:45No, the help has become completely bald
  567. 26:48, yes, yes.
  568. 26:49The wind became thin, the wind became
  569. 26:51annoying, let it be.
  570. 26:52Let it be so the wind lessens.
  571. 26:54God willing, it will lessen again.
  572. 26:56How many bald people did you say are in
  573. 26:57the village?
  574. 26:58It comes to about 24.
  575. 26:5924?
  576. 27:00Yes.
  577. 27:00Well, go on, name a few.
  578. 27:02Anything else.
  579. 27:03May God have mercy on them.
  580. 27:05May God have mercy; some have died, may
  581. 27:07God have mercy. Some names, for
  582. 27:09instance, those who don't have a
  583. 27:11problem with it, you can say: Kalla-ya,
  584. 27:14Kalla-Gis, Kalla-Namad, Kalla-Fakh,
  585. 27:17Kalla-Khan, Kalla-Atni,
  586. 27:18Kalla-Abdulhamid, Kalla-Kar,
  587. 27:20Kalla-Ebrahim, Kalla-Akhund,
  588. 27:22Kalla-Abduso, Kafi-Kalla, Shar-Ahmad,
  589. 27:25Kalla-ahmat, Kalla-Shir-Ahmad.
  590. 27:27There’s another one, Kaka, he passes
  591. 27:30away, may God have mercy, he used to be
  592. 27:32called Hekmat-Kalla, may God have mercy
  593. 27:34.
  594. 27:35Then Angun-Kalla, Bismillah-Kalla,
  595. 27:38Tabar-Shin-Kalla, Abdul.
  596. 27:43Kalla-Isa-Kalla, we had names like
  597. 27:45these.
  598. 27:47Also, there are the young children,
  599. 27:49those are the official bald ones.
  600. 27:53Now, about the shampoo-bald ones.
  601. 27:55Well.
  602. 27:57Now because the number of shampoo-bald
  603. 27:59ones has increased, we have less help.
  604. 28:01Well, what is this "official shampoo"
  605. 28:03like?
  606. 28:04This shampoo just makes the hair fall
  607. 28:05out.
  608. 28:06It makes it fall out, these are the "
  609. 28:07shampoo-bald" ones.
  610. 28:08You, well, natural baldness, our
  611. 28:10natural baldness was just like this too
  612. 28:12.
  613. 28:12Well.
  614. 28:16Behind this, we were just like this and
  615. 28:18didn't feel ashamed, it was free, we
  616. 28:20were bald, we had no problem at all. We
  617. 28:26have friends who, perhaps if they see
  618. 28:28it on TV sometime...
  619. 28:31Kaka, a bald worker from Sufi and...
  620. 28:36Musa Jan, Peer-e Nimjo, Nimjo.
  621. 28:39Mother Nimjo is also in Karsufi, a cook
  622. 28:42, and so on. God willing, one day we
  623. 28:45will come and open up that cooking of
  624. 28:47Mother Nimjo’s. The grapes, the Ruchi
  625. 28:50grapes, are grafted from Mother
  626. 28:52Nimjo’s garden. Mother Nimjo is quite
  627. 28:55famous in Karsufi for her cooking.
  628. 28:59Perhaps many of you who watch the
  629. 29:01program understand the moment I say
  630. 29:02Mother Nimjo that she is famous.
  631. 29:05She is famous, my brother, her cooking.
  632. 29:08Have you eaten Mother Nimjo’s cooking
  633. 29:09?
  634. 29:10More than a thousand times.
  635. 29:11God, well if Mother Nimjo has gone to
  636. 29:13the city today, then you’ll come
  637. 29:15another day. I told Kaka Musa Khan, "
  638. 29:17Come another day so you can taste
  639. 29:19Mother Nimjo’s cooking again to see
  640. 29:21if it’s real or not."
  641. 29:22When shall we set the date, God willing
  642. 29:24?
  643. 29:24With joy and happiness, they will take
  644. 29:25the colleague’s number, okay.
  645. 29:27You yourselves set the date so Mother
  646. 29:28Nimjo is also there.
  647. 29:29Yes, sure.
  648. 29:30We want vegetable stew, we want meat
  649. 29:32stew, understand?
  650. 29:34That’s simple food.
  651. 29:35What is simple food?
  652. 29:36She cooks stews; if you recognize these
  653. 29:39, is it stew, is it qorma, is it kebab,
  654. 29:42what is it? Good stews, good stews.
  655. 29:45It’s time to eat.
  656. 29:46Well, when should I make it for you?
  657. 29:47God willing, I’ll call you every day
  658. 29:49I call.
  659. 29:50Call one day in advance.
  660. 29:51Call us two days in advance, God
  661. 29:53willing. You come, may it be a joy,
  662. 29:55we’ll enjoy it, and you’ll
  663. 29:56understand that these women are now
  664. 29:58Muslims and have learned what cooking
  665. 30:00is.
  666. 30:01They also learn liver-cooking; I go and
  667. 30:03get liver, I bring it to the bottom of
  668. 30:05the bowl, I bring the onions, the stew,
  669. 30:07I bring it before you. The onions for
  670. 30:10the broth, the water for the broth, she
  671. 30:12adds a dash of oil for it. You should
  672. 30:14eat a stew that, from the first
  673. 30:16spoonful to the last, you can’t
  674. 30:17gather it up, it should be rich.
  675. 30:19By God.
  676. 30:20Understood?
  677. 30:21So Mother is our cook here.
  678. 30:23Exactly, thank God she is our cook,
  679. 30:25understand? Mamad has a wife, Mamad
  680. 30:29Agha has a wife, his wife is even
  681. 30:30younger, I’ll give you the wife of
  682. 30:32the house. Well.
  683. 30:37Thank God, your wife doesn't even know
  684. 30:38how to cook.
  685. 30:39No, well, the wife.
  686. 30:41You have to do it like this, see.
  687. 30:43Reza gave us ghormeh; I swear to God,
  688. 30:45these were ghormehs—I don't even know
  689. 30:47—if it were salty, I'd have cut my
  690. 30:49head off. I said this is salty, I said
  691. 30:51no, this is ghormeh. What can I do,
  692. 30:53well...
  693. 30:54I'm not learning.
  694. 30:55No, well, I’m saying we have Sabz-e
  695. 30:57Chamani and we have Azari-giri.
  696. 30:58Azari-giri goes like this—the ti-teh
  697. 31:00way; Sabz-e Chamani goes like this—
  698. 31:02the beshang-pa way.
  699. 31:03Well, this woman has become an
  700. 31:05Azari-giri and Sabz-e Chamani woman.
  701. 31:07Oh, one moment my neck hurts, one
  702. 31:08moment...
  703. 31:09Azari-giri, well, don't tease me. Oh,
  704. 31:12that's how it is, well.
  705. 31:14What can you do, anyway?
  706. 31:15Then this Sabz-e Chamani, since it’s
  707. 31:17this time of the season, you yourself
  708. 31:19know it's Sabz-e Chamani.
  709. 31:21Nimjo's mother.
  710. 31:22Yes.
  711. 31:22May God grant Nimjo's mother a thousand
  712. 31:24years of life, God willing.
  713. 31:26God willing, God willing, that again...
  714. 31:28May we come visit one day, God willing.
  715. 31:33I am...Well, may God grant you...empty
  716. 31:43...
  717. 31:45Why, haven't you told me that I have
  718. 31:47business with the Sufi?
  719. 31:50How many years has our city...to sum it
  720. 31:52up, we are from here...
  721. 31:55Dear?
  722. 31:56How many people are in Karfi?
  723. 31:58Karfi now, it has reached the top of
  724. 32:00the road; we used to have Karfi back in
  725. 32:02the day, it was up to the ridge.
  726. 32:07Up to the ridge, ten houses lived there
  727. 32:09; now these friends and acquaintances
  728. 32:11from the city, from these other
  729. 32:12provinces, they have come, and now no
  730. 32:14one can even count the houses on the
  731. 32:16ridge because there are so many.
  732. 32:19Let’s all go to Karfi, to your place,
  733. 32:21to Chalari. If you stay on the TV for
  734. 32:28too long, it’ll be bad.
  735. 32:31No, let it be, God willing, Uncle, come
  736. 32:33sit in the front; we’ll sit in the
  737. 32:35back, we’ll be sinners.
  738. 32:38When will it be ready?
  739. 32:39At six-thirty, God willing, watch the
  740. 32:41TV.
  741. 32:42It’s from the global one, YouTube.
  742. 32:44Global YouTube?
  743. 32:45YouTube, YouTube is a global network
  744. 32:47inside your phones, everyone, if you
  745. 32:49look, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram,
  746. 32:52it's possible to watch this again.
  747. 32:55True, don't pick the grapes, I swear by
  748. 32:57these grapes...
  749. 32:59You can ask anyone in this Karfi
  750. 33:00village; everyone tells me, come and
  751. 33:02take grapes, but don't bother the
  752. 33:04gardens. I swear to God, they don't go
  753. 33:06to the orchard boys...
  754. 33:07This is it.
  755. 33:08They don't go. I don't like it. If a
  756. 33:10man can bring us one or two melons, may
  757. 33:12he be blessed, but they don't bring
  758. 33:13them because the Muslims have consumed
  759. 33:15them.
  760. 33:15They consumed them, right...
  761. 33:18They haven't consumed them, they should
  762. 33:20bring them, if they don't, then don't,
  763. 33:22I won't go, yes. I don't have it, what
  764. 33:27did you pick up?
  765. 33:29Uncle dear, what is it? Wait, Uncle,
  766. 33:34what is it?
  767. 33:36What can I do? As for me, the doctor
  768. 33:38operated on my throat.
  769. 33:39Well, may God grant you health. I swear
  770. 33:41to God, you had the surgery, and the
  771. 33:43doctor, by God's grace—a doctor said
  772. 33:45I will perform the surgery. You were
  773. 33:46lucky, well, you had the surgery, but
  774. 33:48even now, sometimes my voice gets
  775. 33:50caught, sometimes...thank God.
  776. 33:52Well, may God grant you health, eat
  777. 33:53well.
  778. 33:54I swear to God, it cost us 120,000.
  779. 33:56Still, I said it doesn't matter, this
  780. 33:58sacrifice...
  781. 33:59Some Muslims even give 200, 300
  782. 34:01thousand, just like that.
  783. 34:02What business do you have? I am...
  784. 34:04Farming and sharecropping for people,
  785. 34:06one for them, one for me.
  786. 34:07Three of this, one of that...one maund
  787. 34:09of wheat, one maund of wheat, you have
  788. 34:11three maunds.
  789. 34:12No, two and a half man [measure] is
  790. 34:14mine.
  791. 34:15Two and a half man is yours.
  792. 34:16The rest is his, father.
  793. 34:18Yes, I repeated the same thing that was
  794. 34:20said.
  795. 34:23A story with no end.
  796. 34:24The story of Mullah Nazar has passed,
  797. 34:26let me tell you.
  798. 34:28Don't take this to heart; we have been
  799. 34:30neighbors with Musa and his brother for
  800. 34:32years, that is why they came to this
  801. 34:34garden today.
  802. 34:36You can see they came for us; I swear I
  803. 34:38wouldn't have come to this place
  804. 34:40otherwise.
  805. 34:42In reality, everyone who comes to this
  806. 34:44garden is welcome.
  807. 34:45Someone followed us and said, "Come,
  808. 34:47take some grapes," I swear I told him,
  809. 34:49"Just keep one kilo, what are you doing
  810. 34:51?"
  811. 34:52Are you content?
  812. 34:53Yes, absolutely.
  813. 34:56What else can we do?
  814. 34:58Truly.
  815. 35:00Life in villages and rural areas.
  816. 35:03People have many problems.
  817. 35:04People have many difficulties. [Unclear
  818. 35:10/dialect]...Musa Khan, this is how we
  819. 35:12clean up the place with care.
  820. 35:17That's good.
  821. 35:20Is there a leg?
  822. 35:21Let's go to your own leg [area].
  823. 35:24My basket is theirs.
  824. 35:25Yes, Ghulam's.
  825. 35:28Ghulam, where did you put the empty
  826. 35:30basket in the car?
  827. 35:32Okay. The basket, the basket is over
  828. 35:37there. In the name of God, I will sit
  829. 35:41in this shade. No, call them. Z. A big
  830. 36:05blessing, no?
  831. 36:06I am the head of the place.
  832. 36:08I am the head of the place, the Muslims
  833. 36:10who help out.
  834. 36:12I spend it on that place, sir.
  835. 36:14Yes.
  836. 36:15Why do they call it the "Big Shrine"?
  837. 36:16What do they call the shrine itself?
  838. 36:20They call it the "Big Shrine" because
  839. 36:22it has history, it has about 150 years
  840. 36:24of history.
  841. 36:26Well.
  842. 36:27Sheikh Nizamuddin Awliya, a religious
  843. 36:29person.
  844. 36:31Two great men are here.
  845. 36:33Yes, there might be others, but we...
  846. 36:37We don't have information.
  847. 36:39We don't have information, but it's
  848. 36:41likely, we have a lot, even the prayer
  849. 36:43ground is in my hands.
  850. 36:45Okay, okay.
  851. 36:47I have been chosen as a representative
  852. 36:49by these people.
  853. 36:51What, uncle?
  854. 36:54Give me a little so I can take it to
  855. 36:56the city.
  856. 36:57No, no, no, just eat some here; taking
  857. 37:00them away is fine too.
  858. 37:03It's nothing, go ahead, they are yours,
  859. 37:05go, I saw your car on television. This
  860. 37:14car is amazing, uncle, thank you very
  861. 37:16much, you're too kind, the Khalili
  862. 37:18grapes have come too, just leave them
  863. 37:20here.
  864. 37:23Is it Khalili?
  865. 37:25Come here, engineer, take a look, show
  866. 37:28the Khalili grapes to Musa. God.
  867. 37:34He brought both the Roz grapes and the
  868. 37:36Khalili grapes, both were provided,
  869. 37:38long live the elder here.
  870. 37:43Truly long live, he is a really good
  871. 37:45man, a benevolent man, for the sake of
  872. 37:47God.
  873. 37:50He doesn't touch anything by force, he
  874. 37:52gives it to the poor, I say, "God, I
  875. 37:54have enough, I'm happy," but he helps
  876. 37:56the poor.
  877. 37:58His children, his little ones.
  878. 38:01His little ones, thank God for the
  879. 38:03security; we are here, what a feeling
  880. 38:05of security.
  881. 38:09It's a feeling of goodness and
  882. 38:10happiness; for instance, years ago we
  883. 38:12couldn't bring a Camry here.
  884. 38:16You and I couldn't sit here without a
  885. 38:18care; thankfully, we have peace of mind
  886. 38:21, no pain, and God provides us with
  887. 38:22work. It’s like Paris here. Just
  888. 38:28yesterday, someone asked me if this
  889. 38:30place is better or other countries, and
  890. 38:32I said if you have a modest meal on
  891. 38:34your table and a roof over your head,
  892. 38:36this place is like Paris.
  893. 38:40Afghanistan is better than any country,
  894. 38:42provided you have a bite to eat.
  895. 38:44As long as you have work to keep you
  896. 38:45busy. Brotherly pain. No.
