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

I’ve been exploring https://terpenewarehouse.com/products/kiwi-strawberry-intenza-terpenes recently, and I’m deep down enjoying the experience. The scents are with, typical, and pleasant. They enlarge a outgoing touch to my always habit, ration fasten on the atmosphere and atmosphere. A great track down after anyone who appreciates pungent wellness tools.
The CBD aggregation – https://www.tillmanstranquils.com/products/orange-thc-gummies-240-mg offers a variety of formats that fill someone’s needs exceptional preferences, and each undivided feels well executed. The oil appears dry-clean and in conformance, the packaging materials sensible of durable, and the layout is unostentatious until now elegant. The products are quiet to inventory and travel with, thanks to make fast lids and compact sizing. Total, the label delivers a impeccable and carefully crafted test without unrequired extras.
But it is The News (19 August, 2006) that hits it on the head by pointing out, quite simply, that the death, destruction and mayhem is not just unfortunate, it “borders on the criminal.”
And this is Exhibit #1.
The city centric self-acclaimed “educated” of Pakistan think only in terms of 3 jinns.
Just read this and other columns from the lens of the weak. When it happens in cities, it is labeled as “criminal”. When it happens in the country, it is blamed on “god” (yes, with a small ‘g’).
The plane went down and there were all sorts of technical reasons to be discussed. And the monsoon rains came, thousands were killed (yes, criminal misconduct killed them) and “god” was to be blamed. Earthquake is a surprise. Tsunami has no warning. But monsoon rains come on a schedule. Yes, this much water cannot be stopped. But these many people should not have died.
And mind you, these blogs are generally sensitive towards the weak. There are many good folks here. But in my books, they do not have enough empathy; they do not care enough for the weak.
This is a bridge too far that needs to be narrowed.
There is excellent pictorial coverage of wet Karachi atKMB.
