Have you ever wondered where sewayyian or sawaiyan (Vermicelli) comes from?
This is how this Eid delicacy begins its life. In this picture a worker is seen preparing vermicelli (sewayyian) at grand scale in Rawalpindi in preparation for upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr.
If you are wondering what happened to the sawaiyan-maker’s shirt, take a look at the next photograph.
Its hanging on the pole to the right of the photograph!
Enjoy your saywiaan this Eid, everyone.

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
…..me thought me saw…
VERM(atodes) I(n) the CELLI(ng) and a human being
Well ,just kidding
-by the way I don`t really know how much appetite I am possesing after having read and seen the article….
can hardly have huge talab for Vermicelli at the forthcoming Eid, with this in fresh mind…….
I might even have traumatized my taste buds for a time…….
Yet another example that ignorance is bliss…
Anyone been inside mithai shop kitchens? It is a tried and tested cure of the sweet tooth syndrome…
I considered them to be ‘factory-made’. AND this isn’t a good scene to view while Eid is so close. *yuks*
I am still unsure as to HOW they are made.
The pictures only tell us of the environment that they are made it. But how do those long hanging things come about?
wow. Amazing pics.
Never realized that this is how sawaiyan are actually made!
