Apples or a mythology

Our breakfasts were followed by the plucking of fresh apples. The Apple laden trees stood dropped, invitingly, with their ripened fruits a perfect fit for our palms and a perfect complement for our appetite. In Skardu they were golden, just like the first ray of Sun as it branches out from behind the mountains heralding the breezy mornings.

In hunza, we feasted on blood red apples, tearing into its glossy skin with our teeth, letting the juice ooze down our hands and run down our lips. It is a luxury withheld from the residents of bustling cities where a green tree alone becomes a sight for sore eyes and where the fruits reach dry and dented.
