The Cholistan Desert

The Cholistan Desert is also known as the Rohi Desert. It is situated in the Punjab region of Pakistan and is the largest desert on the Indian continent.

The word Cholistan comes from ‘Chol’ which means desert in Turkish, but it could also come from 'Cholna' which means moving.

About 2.5 million people live in Cholistan who are nomads and travel around the desert, looking for water and herding and trading camels. The people live a very simple life and are very religious. They still keep their primitive customs and traditions and place great value in music and singing. They have a very strong culture with many romantic legends dating back to ancient times. The women and men both wear baggy, embroidered and colourful clothes. They have fabulous desert festivals where you can see camels dancing and wearing even more colourful clothes than the people. People still live in houses made of mud and straw just as they did 200 years ago.

The Cholistan people make interesting handicrafts such as wall hangings, bed covers, carpets and blankets with bright colours and beautiful patterns with geometric designs.

The desert expands over to Sindh and into India. The dry bed of the Hakra River runs through the area. When it dried up so did most of life there. Wildlife is scarce. Wild cat, jackal, wolf, squirrel, field rat, over 200 types of insects and as many as sixty varieties of snakes are found here.

The desert also has an Annual Jeep Rally, known as Annual Cholistan Jeep Rally.

It lies at an altitude of 400 ft. above sea level and covers an area of 23,500 sq. m. Temperatures range from 8º C in winter to 34º C in summer. There is very little rainfall in the area averaging about 3 - 5 inches annually. During the wet season the people built shallow reservoirs to catch the rainwater so that they could survive. Cholistan is changing because a canal system has been introduced.



Places of interest include the Derawar Fort where the tombs of the ex-rulers of Bahawalpur and their families are situated, and Shrines of Channan Pir.

Shabanu Anticipation Guide

It is possible to experience love at first sight.
I agree, it is possible to experience love from first sight. Many people have experienced that feeling from first sight; it might be like that because the other person that you saw for first time has the same personality or character with you. You can also feel an attraction between you and him/her. I also know people that happened to him. Well I don’t personally know them but from Television, like Steve Erwin!!! He got loved with his wife when he saw her for first time.



Two complete strangers stuck on a deserted island could learn to love one another (and yes, stay with one another after being rescued).

I disagree with this statement. Because there is no way to fell in love with someone that you got stuck in the same island. There are many ways to not like a person when you stuck in an island with him/her. One of them is that you don’t like her/him, and you just don’t want to be her/his friend for some reason. If it was me I wouldn’t want to get in love with any person that I am stuck in an island because, I might now like the person and why would I want to get in love with her?


It is a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desires of others.

I agree with that statement, if it’s a person that I like or love why not, especially if it’s a member of my family or a really close friend of mine. Many people would do that because it’s just normal, but it depends on how you think or feel for that one person. Sometimes it it’s a good thing to sacrifice your happiness for the desire of the others. If its actually worth it why not do it?!



Women in your society are free citizens.

I disagree, and I disagree with that because, no one is a free person in this community. Everyone has to follow rules. Women are like men, they are free to do as much as men can do. No one can go and steal items or do something they want or they thing right. If you do so you can get in big trouble. So… no one is a free citizen now on. You must follow certain rules!

Composition- The Outsiders FIlm and Novel Critique

I liked the movie better because I like to visual things. The book was more detailed and that's not bad. I personally don't like books but this one was one of the best and few books iv' read!
Also one thing that I didn't like about the movie is that, to make this movie they cut a lot of important scenes that were in the book.
And with the book you imagine characters with your self and that's one thing I like with the books but the movie had more action less talking and cool character!
Well to tell the truth, this is one movie and one book that you cant compare! They were both great and really creative.

Biography

Slash was born in Hampstead in England on July 23, 1965. His real name is Saul Hudson. His mother is a Black American, and his father is a white Englishman. Both parents are artistic and work in the entertainment field. His mother is a clothing designer for entertainers. His father provides art direction for record albums. At the age of 11 Slash moved to Los Angeles with his mother while his father remained in England. Slash was an immigrant in the United States so he remained one for many years. The family eventually lived together again in L.A. The long hair, jeans and t-shirts that he wore didn’t exactly fit with the other kids. While in high school Slash’s grandmother gave him his first guitar. Although it had just one string, SLASH was able to learn to play. Slash’s early musical influences were Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck and Neil Young. Slash was playing his guitar at least 12 hours a day. His schoolwork suffered when he skipped classes and sat in the bench all day playing guitar. School may have suffered, but his social life got better! The other kids now thought Slash was cool.
Eventually Slash gave up on school and stoped in eleventh grade. Another education was waiting for him in the L.A. band scene. Slash met Steven Adler, who formed the band Road Crew, and was looking for a good singer. Then he met Izzy Stradlin who played for him a tape of Axl Rose singing. Slash went to see Axl perform and immediately wanted to steal him from Izzy, but the two of them were fast friends. Slash found his bass player, Duff McKagan when Duff answered a post that Slash had placed in the paper. All the players changed combinations, but the result was Guns N' Roses! With a lot of talent, the band became an international success. After that Slash became a US citizen and decided to not migrate again!!
