I found reference to following news item at Metroblogging Islamabad which in turn got the photo from Duffer’s blog.
Taxi driver Bilal Mehmood told that a person bought a goat and booked his taxi for going to Islamabad. He was following on his motorbike. At the decided place, the taxi driver couldn’t find the person. Owner of goat can plz contact at the given number.
This ad made us all proud. He also said a loud no to corruption. ATP’s other Inspiration Pakistan stories can be read here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. The original ad appeared in the daily Jang.
But Khuram, surely you’re not saying that everybody in a ‘spiritual’ society is top of the line honest? That can’t be right… you only have to read 20 other news items listed around this one to confirm that.
The fact is, we are just as good (or as bad) as people anywhere else. I have seen materialist people do things that would make a spiritualist proud, and spiritual people do things that would put materialists to shame.

Tina u wont actually find honesty today anywhere in dis world
but only in spiritual socities
and especially not in those so called “Pregogressive and Secular” socities
without spirituality the basic fabric of a community is destroyed
I can’t even imagine how people get up and get up again to make things look simpler all the time. Cheers for Pakistanis!
Yes, it is things like this that gve us inspiration
I am convinced there are more good people than bad people amongst us
@Tina: actually smaller mistakes are when talk of town within minutes …. we do need our times of assurance that all is not bad.
The reassurance lits the light of hope …. which is needed at this hour again and again :)
Have things really gotten so terrible that every time any person does even remotely the right thing we have to blog about it?
It’s kind of worrying when normal honesty is elevated to some kind of heroism. Good grief!
I PRAY for such honest people.
