When I was young I used to pray for a bike, then I realized that God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

Ahhhhhh! History!
Thank you!

"There is a strange fascination in living among the Pathans.
Many attempts have been made to catch and convey that
feeling, but the spell is elusive. One secret of the hold of
the North- West Frontier is to be sought in the tremendous scenic
canvas against which the Pathan plays out his life., a canvas brought
into vivid relief by sharp, cruel changes of climate.... But the land was made for the men in it, not men for the land.
For the stranger who had eyes to see and ears to hear, always as he
drove through the Margalla pass just north of Rawalpindi and
went on to cross the great bridge at Attock, there was a lifting of
the heart and a knowledge that, however hard the task and beset
with danger, here was a people who looked him in the face and
made him feel he had come home. "

"The Pathans" a book by Sir Olaf Caroe

I got interested in Persian history when I took some classes on Greek history at uni. You cannot study Greek history and not be exposed to Persian history. The two civilizations were interlocked for a very long time.
