HUNZA, August: The world planet has had undergone many geological, ecological, anthropological change since the time known of its creation. Once a particular region ruined, hope among the rest of the population compelled them to make efforts to resume the sign of life to have love with the life, shun the grief and place a faith for a better tomorrow. This is the case with Hunza in terms of Attaabad land slide, which has suffered such twice fatal catastrophes during a period of one and half century in the same periphery. Forefathers tell us that such a massive land slide had also hit Ghamay Sarat, now known as Salmanabad, an small settlement on a plateau adjacent to Attabad village, in the mid of nineteenth century in this scattered populated region of Gilgit-Baltistan. The then land slide, according to historians blockade the water for many years and reached to Pussu as it flowed back from the blockade. Later, it out burst its banks and ruined the down stream areas till Thakot of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa province.
There are many special person in our society who give us hope in desperation, grief and unease. of course there is one Mr. Harryman, a special person with unique artistic skills. He has command on Urdu, Brushaski and Shina singing, former the language of Hunza and later a dialect of a large portion of the Gilgit region, simultaneously.Although, very few people give him attention, he never dis-hearts and follow the principle "try again", lest some one hear him. Having a legacy of a traditional family, he is the man of taste and culture. Besides, he leaves no room to portray our cultural heritage which today's youth including me, instead of practicing own and respecting others now are quick adoptive and ready to give least patronage to alien norms and cultures.
