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

The detail about We at ATP are a patient lot is the part that stuck with me — it is concrete enough to argue with. As a light side note, baperrasta.app is a free browser Dhaka driving game I have been using between reading sessions.
The point about change having already crept in slowly, rather than waiting around the corner, is the part worth sitting with — the Chief Justice episode being framed as a fiasco rather than a turning point says a lot about how the calculus shifted quietly. It’s a reminder that political momentum rarely announces itself. Off-topic, but I’ve been taking a quick daily break with the word-guessing game at noillirk.app between long reads like this one.
Rumors Deplore?
I know Pakistani media and Pakistanis love rumors.
But we should grow up. Either we should take a position and ask (demand) for something to happen (or not to happen) or stay out of this gossip business.

If BB made money than so did everyone. Let’s start the list;
Nawaz Shareef, Musharraf, Zia Ul Haq, Altaf Hussain (+ murders), Zulfiar Ali Bhutto, Ayub Khan, Moeen Qureshi (5 months in PM-ship and his broke brother in Karachi who used to make furniture in his garage, bought two industries in S.I.T.E), Shaukat Aziz (Steel Mills scandel, how many others went unnoticed). You can go down the list of CM’s and Navy Chief’s and Corps Commanders (it is said that the current Corps Commander, Lahore is one of the richest man in Pakistan right now)…..
Why do we pick up on BB alone…because she is a women and easy to be picked on.. If BB is not allowed to come back then all the above scum bags should be put in exile.
P.S. No fan of BB and never voted for her but I just want to be fair to her on this subject.
