In a time when news emanating from Pakistan look depressing, this photo may rekindle a new hope for the future. Decorative face painting is a common practise in Northern Areas of Pakistan. Photo credits belong to Kamran Safdar.

I think this child is beautiful. Just look at her eyes. She is a precious gift. Both of these children are beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
I’m sorry but I think the face-painting looks scary.
Amir Khan Gilgit,
Why do they paint children faces like this; to prevent some evil eye or just to make them look cool?
Noor Muhammad,
Northern areas should have governments under central control so we can get rid of FATA appointed candidates monopoly. Tourism industry can create jobs so locals can have decent lives. All in all those extremists need to behave so we can all live in peace and harmony.
Thanks to our priorities; dirty clothes on kids are very common sight in all over Pakistan. Infant mortality rate (http://tinyurl.com/24s4d7) is one of the highest in Pakistan. We are at rank 33 and above 32 almost all are war ridden countries.
