A man in his late fifties, his back slightly hunched with the weight of years, leans forward in quiet concentration as he reads from a timeworn manuscript known locally as Kalbaaf Taleem – the Carpet Weaver’s Instructions. His hands move with practiced ease, meshing threads with delicate precision. His rhythmic, almost meditative motion speaks of a lifetime of honing skill, but his brow is furrowed with worry. In the next few days, he will complete his masterpiece - a carpet destined to adorn the halls of palaces or the chambers of Presidents. Yet, even as he weaves, his mind is preoccupied with a deep anxiety – his wages, the looming uncertainty of his livelihood.
