Kalam
MINGORA: Yasmin and her family received a late-night order to leave their Honeymoon Hotel suite, which overlooks the gorgeous Swat river and its ice-blue waters.
When they were involved in one of Pakistan’s worst calamities, one that has left more than 1,100 dead and a third of the nation swamped by catastrophic flooding, they had just exchanged the humid Lahore summer for the cooler climes of the northeastern mountains.
They left their motel in the isolated Kalam valley in the pitch-blackness.They observed it shatter into the raging waters hours later from the safety of the higher ground.
