I have been travelling extensively between Karachi & Lahore since my childhood and have seen plenty of these con artists. You can see most of them after Multan or Khanewal upto Lahore because of the high concentration of Stations in this sector. Well, you will not find much of these poeple while travelling between Karachi and Multan. However, there are other characters also such as Boot Palish wala, Naat reciting women, Aaloo Chanay wala, Botal Wala with the Balti and many more.
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
