KHYBER PASS: To be frank i was very poor in history, I just know only some of the famous events, reading this poem, is like feeding me with more knowledge, such historical places should be opened for public to view and to know its greatness, but due to many reasons many of such places have been closed. Its a very nice poem, and can see how much effort you have taken to build it into a poem so great to read, hats off for your effort and 10++ for your presentation... Thanks for sharing.

Raj, thank you for the history lesson of the Khyber Pass, it was a most interesting journey. It must have been a remarkable feat of engineering to build all those bridges and tunnels. A fine poem to recall all the comings and going through the pass. Regards Bob Blackwell
