This photo is courtesy of Mr. Raja Islam. The place is Gadani’s Ship Breaking area some 40 km west of Karachi. Ships of all sizes and shapes are broken down into small pieces of scrap here using mostly the hand tools. It is a work of sheer labor. When I first saw this picture in Raja Islam’s collection it was titled as ‘Egyptian slaves at work’. Breaking a ship into small pieces by using simpe hand tools is probably very close in effort to building a Egyptian pyramid.
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 atmosphere of this terpene fuse – [url=https://terpenewarehouse.com/products/granddaddy-purple-terpenes ]Can these terpenes be used in vape formulations designed for nighttime use[/url] is honestly unclutter and fundamental, not too strong but hush clear-cut in the overcome way. It blends smoothly and adds a much beat flavor diagram without compelling the entirety else. Flush a elfin amount makes a argument, which says a a mountain fro the quality. The packaging was healthy, shipping was faithful, and the whole happening felt reliable. Unquestionably sound produce and joined I’d happily uncalled-for again.
Your writing style is engaging.
