I posted this picture on Metroblog Islamabad earlier with the title “Can’t you see I’m Busy, Man!!!.” Wondering if ATP readers can suggest other (better) titles. Maybe a sheyr (verse) from Faiz, iqbal, Jalib… maybe even Ghalib?
ATP talks often about the state of the mobile industry in Pakistan. Well, this picture shows one face of what is happening with cell phones. As I wrote at Metroblog Islamabad:
Can you feel the marked difference??? A poor common pakistani, already a mobile user, collecting wood standing in front of parliament (highest office of the city on maybe the most expensive roads of the country) …!
WOW … amazing colors of Pakistan!!!
So, any suggestions?
Asma Mirza,
@viewing the commentator’s intensity on Faiz,
hope its not too late ?

Sarfarazi-e-shauq, Bandish-e-safar say hay betab

Great shot!
The long gone student of economics in me asks if a man in his state can have a cell phone then what would it take for him to have decent clothes and a decent ride. Everything else in the picture can stay the same.
