Hi hive friends.
Hopefully all of you are fine. It was Friday here, so all my friends had come to my house, and to relive our childhood memories, we decided to visit a pottery shop in the morning. We are all childhood friends, so even in childhood, all friends used to go to the same places together, and this place was this place, how long has this man been selling pottery like this.
This place was about half an hour's journey from our house and all our friends had gone here together and some friends had also bought clay items and took them to their homes and the way you put them in my hands. Looking at the little toy, we used to play with it a lot as children.
All varieties of earthenware were available here above the shop and we friends were very happy to see all the things and especially this earthen golak inside which we used to collect money when we were children. When we used to go, we would throw it on the ground and break it and take out the money.
Earlier, their prices were very low, but now their prices have become very high due to high inflation. Earlier, many of these things were available for 30 Pakistani rupees, now they are available for 100 Pakistani rupees. Still people buy them because the hobby costs nothing and kids are very happy with all these things.
Here in Pakistan, there are still some houses where there is no refrigerator, poor people cannot buy a refrigerator, so they buy these coolers made of clay, and the water inside them cools down by itself. And the smell of the water from inside them is not from anywhere else and the water tastes very good to drink.
This is the kind of up-steel stove you are seeing here, it is also used in the village and it is made small so that the children can play and we also bought it as a child. And when all of us who were friends used to play house like that, we kept him there to cook.
You are seeing in my hand is a very beautiful thing and after that all the work is done with glass and it is done by hand which adds to its beauty. It happens. It is very labor intensive as the glass work is first made from clay and then all the glass is worked on top of it which makes it more expensive.
And whoever we were talking to this person and we were reminding him that a few years ago we used to buy things here, then he remembered because he knew us and our father. And living in Pakistan nowadays has become so difficult, so it was also telling that how many days pass without anyone coming to buy things. And the way inflation has happened here, even a poor person's bill is 10,000 Pakistani rupees, which was just a fan.
