Mast Qalandar

Geo News is back on cable TV in Pakistan! It was banned along with two other popular TV channels on November 3 last year when Emergency was imposed in the country.

We don’t know on what conditions the channel has been allowed to operate again. We also don’t know how much dent the 77-day ban must have made in the profitability of the news company — it must be pretty huge — or to the livelihood of the journalists working for it.

But we do know that the ban made a huge dent in the government’s credibility and the image of “enlightened moderation” that it was so eager to project. It also left in its wake numerous angry messages and slogans on the wallboards outside the Geo office in Islamabad. They do give you a flavor of the general feelings prevailing at the time in a large segment of the civil society.

The photos with this post are here for you to decipher them, enjoy them, add to them, or ignore them.

    The aroma of this terpene fuse – melonade strain indica or sativa is at bottom sanitary and natural, not too strong but hush clear in the best way. It blends smoothly and adds a much better flavor chart without compelling the entirety else. Flush a small amount makes a contradistinction, which says a lot with reference to the quality. The packaging was solid, shipping was faithful, and the sound happening felt reliable. Actually decent outcome and one I’d cheerfully uncalled-for again.
