- 1:24for "Dugh-e Madar" in any country's
- 1:26website, it will come up.
- 1:27Whose house is it? The lady of the
- 1:29house.
- 1:31What do you think of this grape, is it
- 1:32good?
- 1:37No, I don't know grapes at all, I've
- 1:39never seen them, just how to prepare it
- 1:41, how is this...
- 1:48Hit it, hit it, hit it well. In the
- 2:57cave. We have come from Kari Sufi
- 3:31village to make this video for you, to
- 3:33show you that if you come to Kari Sufi,
- 3:35you will see this modern and advanced
- 3:36agriculture system; they have planted
- 3:38fields, and they use drip irrigation
- 3:40systems for them. Come, let’s go
- 3:46inside here. It is there. This castle
- 3:54is one of the old war castles of Kari
- 3:56Sufi, it has four towers, two towers
- 3:58are in the frame, and that is the third
- 4:00tower; and we will show you the next
- 4:02tower as well, as in any region that
- 4:04you go further from the city, you see
- 4:06these old castles. If possible, let’s
- 4:13go inside this castle, take a video of
- 4:15these towers, and show them to you.
- 4:21These fields you see, these are melon
- 4:23fields. These are all fresh melons. Hey
- 4:30, come here! Come here, show this melon
- 4:33. Look at it. Well, there are melons,
- 4:41and there is also a field of fresh
- 4:42crops. We are harvesting melons. Is it
- 4:49ripe or not? Well, it’s not ripe yet,
- 5:00respected one. Come here. This doesn't
- 5:14happen in a day or two; it produces a
- 5:16lot of fruit until the time it freezes.
- 5:22Let's go.
- 5:23It keeps producing. Where are these
- 5:28seeds?
- 5:30Did the engine get muddy? No, don't get
- 5:34it muddy, that diesel engine is
- 5:36completely ruined. From.
- 5:40Yes.
- 5:41No, it won't get muddy, its pressure is
- 5:44high. My friend thought of old diesel
- 5:50engines; I told him to keep the AC on,
- 5:52since it's hot, the weather is very hot
- 5:55here. There's wind too, and it's a very
- 5:59hot and scorching wind. You didn't
- 6:03check the engine, let it cool down a
- 6:05bit; man, one time the diesel...the
- 6:06whole field and the engine, it said the
- 6:09diesel is all gone, it needs to cool
- 6:10down a bit. Turn it to this side, then
- 6:54turn it to that side.
- 6:56No, no, no.
- 7:00We are doing well, thank God.
- 7:02Are you happy?
- 7:03Everything is fine.
- 7:04How are you doing?
- 7:05Thank God, I am fine.
- 7:06Do you know this uncle? This uncle is
- 7:11the one from our previous program, we
- 7:13had a chickpea cart, you were
- 7:15harvesting the chickpeas, what did you
- 7:17harvest, uncle?
- 7:18Apricots.
- 7:19You harvested apricots.
- 7:23Are you well, brother? Bless you.
- 7:26Long live, have they arrived yet?
- 7:28No, they haven't arrived.
- 7:29No, they haven't arrived either.
- 7:31No, they just arrived now.
- 7:32How many jeribs did you plant?
- 7:34Jeribs? I was here guarding them, I
- 7:36came a few days ago.
- 7:37Guarding?
- 7:38Yes.
- 7:39Very well.
- 7:40What is this area called, we passed
- 7:42through it earlier?
- 7:44It's called Karfi.
- 7:45Karsofi.
- 7:46Yes.
- 7:47What is this mountain called, whose
- 7:48mountain is it?
- 7:49This is Adam Khan's mountain.
- 7:51Adam Khan's mountain.
- 7:52Yes.
- 7:53Well, did you have the chickpea cart
- 7:55today, uncle?
- 7:58Yesterday my tire went flat, I couldn't
- 8:00bring it, I couldn't get the
- 8:01wheelbarrow tires.
- 8:07If you had brought it, you should have
- 8:09fixed the flat yourself, you worked on
- 8:10it but didn't fix the flat properly.
- 8:15You didn't fix the flat, why didn't you
- 8:17fix the tire? Why didn't you repair the
- 8:21puncture?
- 8:23A flat tire needs its own repairman,
- 8:25it's not possible to work like that,
- 8:26your work is ongoing.
- 8:29No, it happened all of a sudden.
- 8:32Yes, it happened suddenly, Sofi.
- 8:36Happy.
- 8:38Hopefully, this diesel is completely...
- 8:40these new motors, these new electric
- 8:42motors that we say will let it cool
- 8:44down a bit.
- 8:47What's the talk?
- 8:49Everything is good, thank God.
- 8:52Sofi, Abdul Rashid is one of our
- 8:53friends that you brought from your city
- 8:55so that when we go to these areas, we
- 8:57take a guide with us for every program.
- 9:00Sofi Abdul Rashid knows these areas
- 9:02completely. Now he is taking us to the
- 9:06main fields, the main fields of the
- 9:08region, from this Karfi desert; you
- 9:10take a video, tell them the fields are
- 9:12well-grown here and the harvest has
- 9:14started too, where are the desert
- 9:15fields? There are many fields.
- 9:18The desert fields are by the road and
- 9:20there are also some near the shrine.
- 9:21Shrine, the shrine of Mait, the shrine
- 9:24of Mait Sofi, he said the shrine of
- 9:26Mait.
- 9:26There is one by the shrine too, this
- 9:28field is mostly finished.
- 9:30Finished? It's finished, there were no
- 9:33fields at all, plant them all.
- 9:38Melons, not melons, there are melons by
- 9:40the road, there is the shrine here, the
- 9:42whole desert, you look everywhere as
- 9:44far as the eye can see.
- 9:49Actually, there was no farming here at
- 9:51all, there were no houses in these
- 9:52areas, since the road was built, the
- 9:54road...
- 9:55Well.
- 9:55After that, the area was developed.
- 9:57There was nothing here.
- 9:59This part is the ring road, the bypass
- 10:01road, where vehicles are passing
- 10:03through. And those mountains you see,
- 10:07those high, towering peaks, those are
- 10:09the mountains of the Taimani project
- 10:11area. Yes, all those mountains you see
- 10:16in the image are part of the Taimani
- 10:18project area, where work is currently
- 10:20underway.
- 10:24Work is underway; from this Karofi, we
- 10:27go toward Gae and Zinda Jan, to connect
- 10:29it to Zinda Jan.
- 10:33Where?
- 10:34Quiet, my blood, middle, middle, middle
- 10:37.
- 10:39Kaftarkhon, Kaftarkhon, half of it is
- 10:42passing through, half of it is Zinda
- 10:44Jan. Well, stay with me, how are you?
- 11:16Huh? When you come to Karofi, to this
- 11:46part where you were before, here, the
- 11:49old houses in this area...no. You.
- 11:54That same tree was there, a tree that
- 11:56...
- 11:58Some talk and conversation, what's good
- 12:00?
- 12:02What a surprise, what a surprise that
- 12:04you people have come to our humble
- 12:06place. Thank you, bless you.
- 12:08At your service.
- 12:09How can we serve you?
- 12:10May you be honored, we are so happy.
- 12:12We eat "Qorud"(dried curd).
- 12:13At your service.
- 12:14We eat "Madar-e Naim"(Naim's mother's
- 12:16dish), we eat "Qachi" and dried meat.
- 12:17Oh, I understood. Let me tell you, that
- 12:20meat, that "Madar-e Naim," that "Dough"
- 12:22(yogurt drink), if you search for it on
- 12:24websites, you'll find it all over.
- 12:27Who is "Madar-e Naim"?
- 12:28The lady, Naim's mother, come, come,
- 12:31come! She's here.
- 12:37This tree that is here, this tree, it's
- 12:39from my father's time, under this tree,
- 12:41there's a hyena's head. Whoever is "
- 12:43shashband"(unable to urinate), I make
- 12:45them go around it three times, and the
- 12:47blockage clears. Yes, a hyena's head,
- 12:50take it one day to show...Whenever you
- 12:52are "shashband"(blocked), call me, put
- 12:54a Rupee in the account, come and take a
- 12:57turn.
- 12:58A turn around the tree.
- 12:59Take a turn.
- 13:01Three turns.
- 13:02What does it say?
- 13:03One who used to take the tray, those
- 13:05who used to take the tray...I used to
- 13:07bring it...I made it fresh, it's
- 13:09difficult for us here.
- 13:12Almost 30-35 years ago I cooked, cooked
- 13:15by Naim Shah's mother's hands, let's
- 13:17say...
- 13:20It means it has a name, even if it's on
- 13:22television.
- 13:24If it were on television, those who ate
- 13:26it would say, "My place is so..."
- 13:28Those who ate it, enjoyed the dried
- 13:30meat and yogurt, let's bring a plate so
- 13:32we can eat too, what...
- 13:33Yeah, she's currently in the city.
- 13:35Mother isn't here. "Madar-e Naim" is in
- 13:37the city, that is.
- 13:38The brides aren't giving Mother.
- 13:39The brides...one is in Turkey, two are
- 13:42in Iran.
- 13:43May dust fall upon you! When you
- 13:46arrived, if you had called two days
- 13:47earlier, I would have set things up
- 13:49here. I would have given you a whole
- 13:51chicken; I would have given you "Naim's
- 13:53dish," the dried meat, right here I
- 13:54would have served you. Since you came
- 13:58today, what about the grapes and stuff?
- 14:04Chicken, yogurt, Madar-e Naim, butter,
- 14:06we didn't prepare. It will be ready.
- 14:11Well, this is the heart of it. These.
- 14:15This heart is young, I kept it for you.
- 14:18We came here, if there is any task or
- 14:20service, I am at your service.
- 14:22What's the situation?
- 14:23Khalili grapes and seedless grapes.
- 14:25Well, the Khalili grapes have ripened.
- 14:27It has become like this, should we try
- 14:29picking them or not, or should Mother
- 14:30check them herself?
- 14:31No, Mother has no authority over the
- 14:33grapes, actually.
- 14:34She doesn't have authority over the
- 14:36grapes; she has authority over
- 14:37everything else.
- 14:38But not the grapes.
- 14:39The money from the treasury, the pantry
- 14:41, and the post—that's all in her
- 14:43hands.
- 14:44Go ahead, please.
- 14:46Is the orchard far from here?
- 14:50Is your orchard far?
- 14:51Well, if it’s far, never mind, I
- 14:53thought it was right here.
- 14:55We will go with you; the car gets there
- 14:57in a minute.
- 14:57Sit down, let’s go. Let’s go so we
- 15:02can show you the gardening of Kare-Sofi
- 15:04village. I’m very excited.
- 15:19Is this the place?
- 15:22At this very spring, a person sat with
- 15:24their sheep.
- 15:25One day we came here, you and I.
- 15:32We came here to that friend of ours who
- 15:33was selling his goods, what did he
- 15:35bring? He brought help.
- 15:39That was Kare-Sofi, behind that tower,
- 15:41the plaza.
- 15:46A friend gave us some help, saying go,
- 15:48go, you are a stranger. Hand. Let it be
- 15:57fresh, hand it over. Let the hand be
- 16:02fresh, no matter where it's from,
- 16:04it’s a blessing.
- 16:05A big Afghan effort.
- 16:07Hey. Dough and these things, if you
- 16:12find the time, please set a day for us.
- 16:16God willing, we will set a day soon; we
- 16:18will enjoy some home cooking, you know.
- 16:25No, as we said, we are relatives; my
- 16:27son or my wife's son will come.
- 16:33Still.
- 16:36Well, Abdul Salam, our house was where
- 16:38the message was; we haven't seen each
- 16:40other for a long time.
- 16:46Kare-Sofi is a very old village, Uncle,
- 16:48a very historic village.
- 16:50Because I am in this house next to
- 16:52Abdul Salam’s house, my cousin’s,
- 16:54the same house in front of you, yes.
- 16:56Now, the house next to you, what is it
- 16:58called, Uncle?
- 16:59Machine.
- 16:59Uncle, we came here, they have old
- 17:01mud-brick houses. Behind that, it’s
- 17:06only 54 years old, nothing more.
- 17:13Alright, let’s go to Mother’s
- 17:15garden, even though if there were time
- 17:16today, if there were time today, we
- 17:18could have had some of Mother’s
- 17:20cooking for lunch; she is very famous
- 17:21and well-known.
- 17:27Those who watch TV know who Mother is
- 17:30and why she is so famous.
- 17:31She has many great qualities.
- 17:33We call her Mother Kare-Sofii, so you
- 17:36know, Mother...well, you recognize her.
- 17:39Sir, Mother is Mother, think of Mother,
- 17:42bravo.
- 17:46Come on, the garden is one of the most
- 17:48luxurious and beautiful ones; this gate
- 17:50is an old, old gate, Uncle, look at the
- 17:52lock and the chain, it’s all from an
- 17:54old gate. Light it up, let it be bright
- 18:04.
- 18:05It’s showing off, it’s showing off.
- 18:08Undoubtedly, undoubtedly, by God, you
- 18:10have great taste, Uncle.
- 18:14Uncle, come forward, there’s nothing
- 18:16left empty here; we use this land for
- 18:18everything.
- 18:20We use this fertilizer; we use this
- 18:22fertilizer, it keeps the soil
- 18:24productive.
- 18:25How many gardens do you have here?
- 18:26The garden is almost three jeribs.
- 18:29Three jeribs?
- 18:30It makes three jeribs.
- 18:31How many types of grapes do you have?
- 18:34Tell us about the garden.
- 18:35What?
- 18:36From those raisin grapes.
- 18:38Come forward, come.
- 18:39Raisin grapes.
- 18:40Yes.
- 18:40Well.
- 18:41Okay.
- 18:42And those Fakhri, Poshangi, and
- 18:44Husseini.
- 18:46Rochi, Khaliri grapes.
- 18:49Sanginak, Zirjomi.
- 18:52Is it Zirjomi? Come on, Koko.
- 18:55Where is the Zirjomi?
- 18:56Zirjomi is a type of grape, similar to
- 18:58others, but it's softer and slightly
- 19:00different.
- 19:01Aha.
- 19:03It's like that again.
- 19:04How many types of grapes can you name?
- 19:07Tell me, and I will write them down.
- 19:09You name them, and I’ll count.
- 19:10Well, kishmishi (raisin grapes).
- 19:13Rochi.
- 19:15Khaliri, Lal, Red, Hosseini, Poshingsi,
- 19:19Fakhri, and again, Rochi, Khaliri.
- 19:25I’m going, let’s list them. Let me
- 19:28say.
- 19:30Loghi, another one.
- 19:32Another one.
- 19:34Shangalkhani, Shangalkhani is not in
- 19:36the garden.
- 19:37Let’s name them.
- 19:39We are naming them; we said
- 19:40Shangalkhani, and another one, Mishi.
- 19:44Askari.
- 19:45We have Askari, we have Askari grapes.
- 19:48I mentioned Sanginak and Zirjomi and
- 19:50those; understand that Rochi is black
- 19:52and white. Maybe our Rochi isn't even
- 19:54in Herat. Black, white, and Siwaye.
- 19:59Siwaye, Rochi...by God, maybe he’s
- 20:01going crazy, telling us to put the
- 20:03camera up there to catch the happiness.
- 20:10He says...
- 20:14Speak clearly. Don't worry about the
- 20:17evidence, just focus on this kishmishi
- 20:19grape.
- 20:21There are so many grapes this year; the
- 20:24vines are heavy.
- 20:26Heavy, indeed.
- 20:31Let there be grapes.
- 20:34By God, you are a skilled gardener;
- 20:36look at the furrows, how clean they are
- 20:38. See how clean they are.
- 20:45Thorns, weeds, and such—the owner
- 20:47shows he takes care of every vine. Any
- 20:52garden with such vines has a talented
- 20:54and capable gardener. Now, if we’ve
- 20:58understood their faults, if they want
- 21:00any benefit, they should tell us. We
- 21:03will give you whatever you need; just
- 21:04come and manage our garden.
- 21:06Show us what we should do.
- 21:08What should we do for the next two
- 21:10years? Look at these furrows. Point the
- 21:14camera right here, and we’ll go to
- 21:16the other end. If you see furrows like
- 21:20this, look from that end down.
- 21:23Look at what?
- 21:24How many meters are the vines above the
- 21:26furrow?
- 21:2660 meters.
- 21:28No, they aren't that high because the
- 21:30vines are old.
- 21:31They still grow, there's still room.
- 21:33There's still space.
- 21:35There is space, and they are still
- 21:36growing.
- 21:38There are still trees, and we still
- 21:40have Sultan Shahdi.
- 21:45Sultan Shahdi, that one is from the old
- 21:47times; it’s great when it ripens.
- 21:52Meaning, this furrow is Fakhri, right?
- 21:54This is completely Fakhri.
- 21:56Completely Fakhri.
- 21:57So this one is completely Mirmayi.
- 22:00Identify every furrow.
- 22:01Every furrow is marked; the whole
- 22:03furrow is Mirmayi. Yes, completely
- 22:08Mirmayi, it has nothing else; it has
- 22:10two furrows of Mirmayi.
- 22:12Mirmayi, yes.
- 22:14Mirmayi also has old, old vines, yes.
- 22:18Where is the Rochi? At the very end,
- 22:23that one is Poshingsi,
- 22:24Poshingsi-Hosseini.
- 22:26Good.
- 22:27Understood, thanks be to God.
- 22:29This apple here is a sugar apple, it's
- 22:31not found anywhere else in Herat. Like
- 22:34rock candy, 20 days or a month ago, it
- 22:36was eaten with tea just like sugar.
- 22:39Instead of sweet, we call it sugar
- 22:41apple.
- 22:42That one is a sugar apple, and this is
- 22:44a sugar apple too, but they have pests.
- 22:47Apply medicine, uncle, apply medicine.
- 22:49There is no medicine, there is nothing.
- 22:54Even if we apply medicine, what should
- 22:56we do? What should we feed them? This
- 22:58year, whatever I spent, God knows...
- 23:01I had no use for it at all, for example
- 23:03. Stay away from this.
- 23:07This is the Sultan Shah apple, this is
- 23:09the Sultan Shah one.
- 23:10Well.
- 23:12This is the little pomegranate, you
- 23:14tell me, this little pomegranate.
- 23:16When these ripen, we don't finish them;
- 23:19they are so sweet, everyone eats them.
- 23:22This is the apricot tree here, they
- 23:25call it "ghaisi" here, haha.
- 23:27In Iran, they call it "Mohammad Ali
- 23:29Bargi."
- 23:30Well, Mohammad Ali Bargi.
- 23:31Here, if you eat them when they are
- 23:33ripe, it’s a championship.
- 23:36If you eat a hundred of them.
- 23:37From this apricot tree, whoever eats
- 23:40three of these, uncle says he’s a
- 23:42champion, because it’s so sweet, so
- 23:44sweet.
- 23:45These gardens are "Karsafi."
- 23:47Karsafi.
- 23:48The Karsafi gardens are different;
- 23:50it’s also the Pir-e Hashim Ju garden,
- 23:53Pir-e Nimju.
- 23:56Pir-e Nimju, how did you graft this
- 23:58apple? I’m amazed, I swear by God.
- 24:03Well, it’s a charity, it’s a
- 24:05charity, nothing else.
- 24:06Try grafting two of these apples, just
- 24:08leave them alone.
- 24:12Let’s graft this apple grape.
- 24:17I’ve never seen this kind of apple
- 24:19grape, I’ve never seen it at all,
- 24:21just this one. I wonder how it tastes,
- 24:26this apple.
- 24:29Hit it, hit it, hit it.
- 24:32Well, how, Uncle Pin? Do it.
- 24:38Grafting apples is really amazing, keep
- 24:40these so they sprout again. When will
- 24:46the figs be ready, uncle? The figs will
- 24:49be ready in 20 days, God willing. Still
- 24:56, some parts you have to prune. Okay.
- 25:02Grafted apples, I’ve never seen such
- 25:04big apples, and I’m a gardener myself
- 25:06.
- 25:08This, for the first time, I think most
- 25:10friends wouldn't believe it if they saw
- 25:12it, I’m just going to check it.
- 25:15It’s reality, it’s grown by itself.
- 25:17Don't look at these trees, they don't
- 25:19have any, do they? They do.
- 25:20No apricots.
- 25:22Not apricots, just the trees we showed,
- 25:24right friends?
- 25:25Just take the apple, pick it, take it,
- 25:28eat it, say "do it, do it." You told us
- 25:31about this tree, and we do whatever you
- 25:33say.
- 25:40This is "Shah Kolah"(King Hat), Ghulam,
- 25:43because we like "Shah Kolah."
- 25:46Well, Ghulam was born a king, he is the
- 25:48king.
- 25:50Shah Kolah.
- 25:50Shah Kolah, yes, that’s my surname.
- 25:54Okay.
- 25:55Well, Ghulam is known as Shah Kolah.
- 25:58Shah Kolah, it’s a funny one.
- 26:01This surname "Kolah"(Hat)...if you say,
- 26:04"Hey Ghulam Kolah," he gets upset if
- 26:06someone calls him that.
- 26:07He gets upset, I really get upset.
- 26:10Does he get upset? No.
- 26:11He gets upset.
- 26:12He has one thing, he says, "I am the
- 26:14Kolah who is officially registered."
- 26:17Yes, yes, yes, 25.
- 26:20At 25, I know, a good registered Kolah.
- 26:25My surname is a registered one.
- 26:27What’s the reason for taking your hat
- 26:28off and putting it on your head?
- 26:30That’s for the sake of the hat.
- 26:32One.
- 26:33When there is no wind, I take off my
- 26:35hat and give a sign for the wind to
- 26:37blow.
- 26:37Let the wind blow, let it.
- 26:39Yes, bald with the help of a bald one.
- 26:45No, the help has become completely bald
- 26:48, yes, yes.
- 26:49The wind became thin, the wind became
- 26:51annoying, let it be.
- 26:52Let it be so the wind lessens.
- 26:54God willing, it will lessen again.
- 26:56How many bald people did you say are in
- 26:57the village?
- 26:58It comes to about 24.
- 26:5924?
- 27:00Yes.
- 27:00Well, go on, name a few.
- 27:02Anything else.
- 27:03May God have mercy on them.
- 27:05May God have mercy; some have died, may
- 27:07God have mercy. Some names, for
- 27:09instance, those who don't have a
- 27:11problem with it, you can say: Kalla-ya,
- 27:14Kalla-Gis, Kalla-Namad, Kalla-Fakh,
- 27:17Kalla-Khan, Kalla-Atni,
- 27:18Kalla-Abdulhamid, Kalla-Kar,
- 27:20Kalla-Ebrahim, Kalla-Akhund,
- 27:22Kalla-Abduso, Kafi-Kalla, Shar-Ahmad,
- 27:25Kalla-ahmat, Kalla-Shir-Ahmad.
- 27:27There’s another one, Kaka, he passes
- 27:30away, may God have mercy, he used to be
- 27:32called Hekmat-Kalla, may God have mercy
- 27:34.
- 27:35Then Angun-Kalla, Bismillah-Kalla,
- 27:38Tabar-Shin-Kalla, Abdul.
- 27:43Kalla-Isa-Kalla, we had names like
- 27:45these.
- 27:47Also, there are the young children,
- 27:49those are the official bald ones.
- 27:53Now, about the shampoo-bald ones.
- 27:55Well.
- 27:57Now because the number of shampoo-bald
- 27:59ones has increased, we have less help.
- 28:01Well, what is this "official shampoo"
- 28:03like?
- 28:04This shampoo just makes the hair fall
- 28:05out.
- 28:06It makes it fall out, these are the "
- 28:07shampoo-bald" ones.
- 28:08You, well, natural baldness, our
- 28:10natural baldness was just like this too
- 28:12.
- 28:12Well.
- 28:16Behind this, we were just like this and
- 28:18didn't feel ashamed, it was free, we
- 28:20were bald, we had no problem at all. We
- 28:26have friends who, perhaps if they see
- 28:28it on TV sometime...
- 28:31Kaka, a bald worker from Sufi and...
- 28:36Musa Jan, Peer-e Nimjo, Nimjo.
- 28:39Mother Nimjo is also in Karsufi, a cook
- 28:42, and so on. God willing, one day we
- 28:45will come and open up that cooking of
- 28:47Mother Nimjo’s. The grapes, the Ruchi
- 28:50grapes, are grafted from Mother
- 28:52Nimjo’s garden. Mother Nimjo is quite
- 28:55famous in Karsufi for her cooking.
- 28:59Perhaps many of you who watch the
- 29:01program understand the moment I say
- 29:02Mother Nimjo that she is famous.
- 29:05She is famous, my brother, her cooking.
- 29:08Have you eaten Mother Nimjo’s cooking
- 29:09?
- 29:10More than a thousand times.
- 29:11God, well if Mother Nimjo has gone to
- 29:13the city today, then you’ll come
- 29:15another day. I told Kaka Musa Khan, "
- 29:17Come another day so you can taste
- 29:19Mother Nimjo’s cooking again to see
- 29:21if it’s real or not."
- 29:22When shall we set the date, God willing
- 29:24?
- 29:24With joy and happiness, they will take
- 29:25the colleague’s number, okay.
- 29:27You yourselves set the date so Mother
- 29:28Nimjo is also there.
- 29:29Yes, sure.
- 29:30We want vegetable stew, we want meat
- 29:32stew, understand?
- 29:34That’s simple food.
- 29:35What is simple food?
- 29:36She cooks stews; if you recognize these
- 29:39, is it stew, is it qorma, is it kebab,
- 29:42what is it? Good stews, good stews.
- 29:45It’s time to eat.
- 29:46Well, when should I make it for you?
- 29:47God willing, I’ll call you every day
- 29:49I call.
- 29:50Call one day in advance.
- 29:51Call us two days in advance, God
- 29:53willing. You come, may it be a joy,
- 29:55we’ll enjoy it, and you’ll
- 29:56understand that these women are now
- 29:58Muslims and have learned what cooking
- 30:00is.
- 30:01They also learn liver-cooking; I go and
- 30:03get liver, I bring it to the bottom of
- 30:05the bowl, I bring the onions, the stew,
- 30:07I bring it before you. The onions for
- 30:10the broth, the water for the broth, she
- 30:12adds a dash of oil for it. You should
- 30:14eat a stew that, from the first
- 30:16spoonful to the last, you can’t
- 30:17gather it up, it should be rich.
- 30:19By God.
- 30:20Understood?
- 30:21So Mother is our cook here.
- 30:23Exactly, thank God she is our cook,
- 30:25understand? Mamad has a wife, Mamad
- 30:29Agha has a wife, his wife is even
- 30:30younger, I’ll give you the wife of
- 30:32the house. Well.
- 30:37Thank God, your wife doesn't even know
- 30:38how to cook.
- 30:39No, well, the wife.
- 30:41You have to do it like this, see.
- 30:43Reza gave us ghormeh; I swear to God,
- 30:45these were ghormehs—I don't even know
- 30:47—if it were salty, I'd have cut my
- 30:49head off. I said this is salty, I said
- 30:51no, this is ghormeh. What can I do,
- 30:53well...
- 30:54I'm not learning.
- 30:55No, well, I’m saying we have Sabz-e
- 30:57Chamani and we have Azari-giri.
- 30:58Azari-giri goes like this—the ti-teh
- 31:00way; Sabz-e Chamani goes like this—
- 31:02the beshang-pa way.
- 31:03Well, this woman has become an
- 31:05Azari-giri and Sabz-e Chamani woman.
- 31:07Oh, one moment my neck hurts, one
- 31:08moment...
- 31:09Azari-giri, well, don't tease me. Oh,
- 31:12that's how it is, well.
- 31:14What can you do, anyway?
- 31:15Then this Sabz-e Chamani, since it’s
- 31:17this time of the season, you yourself
- 31:19know it's Sabz-e Chamani.
- 31:21Nimjo's mother.
- 31:22Yes.
- 31:22May God grant Nimjo's mother a thousand
- 31:24years of life, God willing.
- 31:26God willing, God willing, that again...
- 31:28May we come visit one day, God willing.
- 31:33I am...Well, may God grant you...empty
- 31:43...
- 31:45Why, haven't you told me that I have
- 31:47business with the Sufi?
- 31:50How many years has our city...to sum it
- 31:52up, we are from here...
- 31:55Dear?
- 31:56How many people are in Karfi?
- 31:58Karfi now, it has reached the top of
- 32:00the road; we used to have Karfi back in
- 32:02the day, it was up to the ridge.
- 32:07Up to the ridge, ten houses lived there
- 32:09; now these friends and acquaintances
- 32:11from the city, from these other
- 32:12provinces, they have come, and now no
- 32:14one can even count the houses on the
- 32:16ridge because there are so many.
- 32:19Let’s all go to Karfi, to your place,
- 32:21to Chalari. If you stay on the TV for
- 32:28too long, it’ll be bad.
- 32:31No, let it be, God willing, Uncle, come
- 32:33sit in the front; we’ll sit in the
- 32:35back, we’ll be sinners.
- 32:38When will it be ready?
- 32:39At six-thirty, God willing, watch the
- 32:41TV.
- 32:42It’s from the global one, YouTube.
- 32:44Global YouTube?
- 32:45YouTube, YouTube is a global network
- 32:47inside your phones, everyone, if you
- 32:49look, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram,
- 32:52it's possible to watch this again.
- 32:55True, don't pick the grapes, I swear by
- 32:57these grapes...
- 32:59You can ask anyone in this Karfi
- 33:00village; everyone tells me, come and
- 33:02take grapes, but don't bother the
- 33:04gardens. I swear to God, they don't go
- 33:06to the orchard boys...
- 33:07This is it.
- 33:08They don't go. I don't like it. If a
- 33:10man can bring us one or two melons, may
- 33:12he be blessed, but they don't bring
- 33:13them because the Muslims have consumed
- 33:15them.
- 33:15They consumed them, right...
- 33:18They haven't consumed them, they should
- 33:20bring them, if they don't, then don't,
- 33:22I won't go, yes. I don't have it, what
- 33:27did you pick up?
- 33:29Uncle dear, what is it? Wait, Uncle,
- 33:34what is it?
- 33:36What can I do? As for me, the doctor
- 33:38operated on my throat.
- 33:39Well, may God grant you health. I swear
- 33:41to God, you had the surgery, and the
- 33:43doctor, by God's grace—a doctor said
- 33:45I will perform the surgery. You were
- 33:46lucky, well, you had the surgery, but
- 33:48even now, sometimes my voice gets
- 33:50caught, sometimes...thank God.
- 33:52Well, may God grant you health, eat
- 33:53well.
- 33:54I swear to God, it cost us 120,000.
- 33:56Still, I said it doesn't matter, this
- 33:58sacrifice...
- 33:59Some Muslims even give 200, 300
- 34:01thousand, just like that.
- 34:02What business do you have? I am...
- 34:04Farming and sharecropping for people,
- 34:06one for them, one for me.
- 34:07Three of this, one of that...one maund
- 34:09of wheat, one maund of wheat, you have
- 34:11three maunds.
- 34:12No, two and a half man [measure] is
- 34:14mine.
- 34:15Two and a half man is yours.
- 34:16The rest is his, father.
- 34:18Yes, I repeated the same thing that was
- 34:20said.
- 34:23A story with no end.
- 34:24The story of Mullah Nazar has passed,
- 34:26let me tell you.
- 34:28Don't take this to heart; we have been
- 34:30neighbors with Musa and his brother for
- 34:32years, that is why they came to this
- 34:34garden today.
- 34:36You can see they came for us; I swear I
- 34:38wouldn't have come to this place
- 34:40otherwise.
- 34:42In reality, everyone who comes to this
- 34:44garden is welcome.
- 34:45Someone followed us and said, "Come,
- 34:47take some grapes," I swear I told him,
- 34:49"Just keep one kilo, what are you doing
- 34:51?"
- 34:52Are you content?
- 34:53Yes, absolutely.
- 34:56What else can we do?
- 34:58Truly.
- 35:00Life in villages and rural areas.
- 35:03People have many problems.
- 35:04People have many difficulties. [Unclear
- 35:10/dialect]...Musa Khan, this is how we
- 35:12clean up the place with care.
- 35:17That's good.
- 35:20Is there a leg?
- 35:21Let's go to your own leg [area].
- 35:24My basket is theirs.
- 35:25Yes, Ghulam's.
- 35:28Ghulam, where did you put the empty
- 35:30basket in the car?
- 35:32Okay. The basket, the basket is over
- 35:37there. In the name of God, I will sit
- 35:41in this shade. No, call them. Z. A big
- 36:05blessing, no?
- 36:06I am the head of the place.
- 36:08I am the head of the place, the Muslims
- 36:10who help out.
- 36:12I spend it on that place, sir.
- 36:14Yes.
- 36:15Why do they call it the "Big Shrine"?
- 36:16What do they call the shrine itself?
- 36:20They call it the "Big Shrine" because
- 36:22it has history, it has about 150 years
- 36:24of history.
- 36:26Well.
- 36:27Sheikh Nizamuddin Awliya, a religious
- 36:29person.
- 36:31Two great men are here.
- 36:33Yes, there might be others, but we...
- 36:37We don't have information.
- 36:39We don't have information, but it's
- 36:41likely, we have a lot, even the prayer
- 36:43ground is in my hands.
- 36:45Okay, okay.
- 36:47I have been chosen as a representative
- 36:49by these people.
- 36:51What, uncle?
- 36:54Give me a little so I can take it to
- 36:56the city.
- 36:57No, no, no, just eat some here; taking
- 37:00them away is fine too.
- 37:03It's nothing, go ahead, they are yours,
- 37:05go, I saw your car on television. This
- 37:14car is amazing, uncle, thank you very
- 37:16much, you're too kind, the Khalili
- 37:18grapes have come too, just leave them
- 37:20here.
- 37:23Is it Khalili?
- 37:25Come here, engineer, take a look, show
- 37:28the Khalili grapes to Musa. God.
- 37:34He brought both the Roz grapes and the
- 37:36Khalili grapes, both were provided,
- 37:38long live the elder here.
- 37:43Truly long live, he is a really good
- 37:45man, a benevolent man, for the sake of
- 37:47God.
- 37:50He doesn't touch anything by force, he
- 37:52gives it to the poor, I say, "God, I
- 37:54have enough, I'm happy," but he helps
- 37:56the poor.
- 37:58His children, his little ones.
- 38:01His little ones, thank God for the
- 38:03security; we are here, what a feeling
- 38:05of security.
- 38:09It's a feeling of goodness and
- 38:10happiness; for instance, years ago we
- 38:12couldn't bring a Camry here.
- 38:16You and I couldn't sit here without a
- 38:18care; thankfully, we have peace of mind
- 38:21, no pain, and God provides us with
- 38:22work. It’s like Paris here. Just
- 38:28yesterday, someone asked me if this
- 38:30place is better or other countries, and
- 38:32I said if you have a modest meal on
- 38:34your table and a roof over your head,
- 38:36this place is like Paris.
- 38:40Afghanistan is better than any country,
- 38:42provided you have a bite to eat.
- 38:44As long as you have work to keep you
- 38:45busy. Brotherly pain. No.
