86) WEDNESDAY, 21 SEPTEMBER 1977 : 0KMS. - KABUL
Washing clothes and went to the embassy of INDIA to get back my passport with visa. We walked around the banks of Kabul river, which dried up. Probably because it was normal condition in late summer.

There were many people, some brought with them hand woven carpets and old clothes, etc. for selling. Most men wore eye-makeup - with a black eye liner around their eyes ! They looked captivating as well as awesome because black eyeliner made them look bigger.
