Beyond the Borders - E-book - ePub

Abdul was born in a remote village bordering Pakistan and Iran. A poverty ridden area where the level of education was so low that most of the able bodied youth worked in the granite mines. Work was hectic but reasonably paying as per the national standards. It was unorganized labor on daily wages. He was the eldest male member of a family of seven children with father having left his mother for a young woman.
His eldest sister was married off leaving the other four to the responsibility of the poor woman, and logically to him being the eldest male member. Slowly wanting to emerge out of the shackles of poverty, he invests money earned from the granitite mines in procuring buffaloes.
