Meet Zamir Ulhaq, 34 years old when this picture was taken (in 2001), originally from Faisalabad, directing traffic at Zarghoon Road, Quetta.

When I was very young (as young as my son now is), I wanted to grow up to be this man (or someone like him). And why not. This police cop wears a kool uniform, is obviously in control, has a whistle that he can blow whenever he wants, and people listen to him (well, some people, sometime).

Obviously, I did not know then just how difficult his job is and how under-appreciated he is. I do now.

(The photograph is by Vincent Laforet, first published in the New York Times, and found here).

P.S. I know my friend Suleman is going to say I am too soft on ‘tullas’ but I wanted to put this picture today, partly as a tribute to the ASI who stopped the arrogant MNA from Karachi.

    The hint of this terpene blend – crunch berry kush strain is at bottom good and natural, not too strong but still clear in the superlative way. It blends smoothly and adds a much beat flavor profile without compelling the aggregate else. Flush a small amount makes a balance, which says a plight fro the quality. The packaging was secure, shipping was fast, and the whole adventure felt reliable. Really sound produce and everyone I’d happily disposal again.
