Pukhtuns are real men, hence they drink tea laced with sulphuric acid (it helps digest the nails). Very sharp observation!

Noor, what they actually brew in this place ?! It says "chai" which stands for tea, but the taps on samowars look like they discharge sulphuric acid ?!

He had his grenade fastened to a string so he wouldn't lose it (they were expensive-even though the Pakistani made ones were 50 rupees less than the Russian ones). Not a smart move. That's why he was making tea in Peshawar, and not fighting in Afghanistan. And it saved my camera for future shots!

Looks like he's about to throw a granade in to your camera ?!
