Sufyan and Naveed 7 are pigeon runners. Their childhood revolves around capturing pigeons all the day long. Sometimes, their job turn out to be so hard as they run behind stray pigeons for the whole day and return back empty handed before sunset.

Their home is some yards away from village’s primary school, where children under 10 are enrolled, yet they don’t attend school and their parents are proud of their progress in pigeon breeding and running.

I couldn’t ask about not attending school as they were already in hurry and rushing towards pigeon running.
