#Dislaaf - The first transaction of the day between a shopkeeper and a customer is called Dislaaf. The shopkeeper will usually give you a discount and upon taking the money he will say "Bismillah" (In the name of God). This is meant to bring you good fortune.

A few days back I went to a shop to buy something. This was late in the evening. As I paid the shopkeeper, I heard him say the word "Bismillah. I knew this was his Dislaaf. A shopkeeper should make his Dislaaf within an hour of opening his shop, not so late in the evening.
My friends, the economic situation is going from bad to worse. The money has simply dried up. It's like someone collected all the money from Afghanistan and vanished. #AshrafGhani and his gang took some, but they couldn't have taken all the money. Money is as valuable us gold now
There are huge cues outside the bank and you can only withdraw a certain amount of money. Not every Afghan keeps his money in the bank, those who kept them under their pillows have almost reached the end of their savings. Unemployment has skyrocketed. Dreams shattered!
The international community must come to an arrangement with the Taliban. The Taliban are fully in charge. There is nothing anyone can do about it for the moment. We shouldn't recognise this terrorist outfit politically, but at the same time we shouldn't punish the Afghan people.
They should unfreeze some of the money with the conditions attached. Money should go to the Afghan people not the Taliban. If an arrangement is not reached, soon the people will put the west and the Taliban in the same bracket. One is oppressing us whilst the other is starving us
Winter is approaching fast and it is really harsh specially in the north. A human can withstand any hardship, but hunger is the most difficult of hardships. Children looking for a piece of bread is heartbreaking. It's Ramadan everyday. Even for children who don't have to fast
