Khashe-e-Qaoum

Here I am chatting with two of my uncles in our family's other house in Kart-e-Sakhi. The property, which has been renovated in recent years, belongs to another one of my uncles who lives in the United States.

At the time the picture was taken I was being given an history lesson on my Khashe-e-Qaoum, which is a Dari word for relatives and family. Family relations are difficult to follow being here for just the second time in three years. My uncle did his best, though I did much more laughing than understanding.
