Maiwand, Pakistan
Mawand is located in the Kohlu District of Balochistan, Pakistan. It is the place where the first helicopter to start the counter insurgency operations landed. A fort housing the frontier Corps men and officers also existed there, but was destroyed in an earthquake.
At one time in 1991-92, Kahan, the headquarters of the Marri tribe was controlled from Maiwand Rifles '70 Wing headquarters, also located there. At that time, 71 wing located at Kahan was employed in Sind on anti dacoits duties. Wing Commander Captain Mustafa Zaidi, popularly known as Capt Zaidi, developed intimate contact with local Sardars of Maiwand and Kahan. The local waderas and common people enjoyed respect from him and he was known well in the areas deep inside the tribal territory.
An electricity line was completed during the tenure of Capt Zaidi, who had been successful in winning the hearts of quite a number of fararis, including Rahim Khan, personal body guard of Nawadb Khair Bux Marri. The Wing Commander, Capt Zaidi enjoyed very good relations with Late Nawab Kaiser Khan, the elder brother of Nawab Khair Bux. Kaiser Khan never met with any government official, and even declined meeting with Chief Secretary and Inspector General Frontier Corps Maj General Zafar Mehdi, but frequently visited the fort to meet with Capt Zaidi.

Rain
by: Joey DiamondRain,rain
You always have perfect timing
Just when I'm feeling so lonely
Without someones arms to hold,it's so cold
Rain,rain
The beat of your drops keep me thinking
It almost seems like the clouds morning
Feeling neglected by love,oh
I understand why they may feel that way
I can't pretend everything's okay
I don't wanna be the man who's patiently waiting
This feeling ain't fading
And so I say rain,rain
Go away
Come back another day
I don't wanna feel the pain
And so I say rain,rain
Go away
You fill my skies with gray
Bring back the sunny day(sunny day)
Drip-Drop
I can still hear you falling,you wont stop
I can still hear you calling it's hard to make
I can still feel your touch
It's something I miss so much
Rain,rain
Just when I'm feeling so empty
At least I'm having someone right next to me
When it falls on my window
It's like on my pillow
I hate the fact that I feel this way
I wont pretend everything's okay
I'm not gunna be the man who's patiently waiting
This feeling ain't fading
(Verse 1)
And so I say rain,rain
Go away
Come back another day
I don't wanna feel the pain
(Verse 2)
And so I say rain,rain
Go away
You fill my skies with gray
Bring back my sunny day
Baby the light ain't shining
I'm just trying to forget everything
I don't wanna remember,I don't wanna think of you
I rather see some sun or snow
Than be reminded of seeing you baby,oh
In the rain
(Verse 1)
Rain,rain
Go away
Come back another day
I don't wanna feel the pain
(Verse 2)
And so I say rain,rain
Go away
You fill my skies with gray
Bring back my sunny day
(Verse 1)
Rain,rain
Go away
Come back another day
I don't wanna feel the pain
(Verse 2)
