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

2010 will be great if Bilawal BHUTTO Zardari is crowned as the emperor- a lot of ambiguity will be cleared.Afterall,Pakistanis miss their Royal History.
Actually, when I look at what the readers predicted and what happened, 2009 was a better year for Pakistan than many feared in everything except terrorism. Certainly, politically it was not a bad year at all: A democratic govt is still in place, the military is still out and the judiciary is independent. How is that bad?
Adil & Owais, Once again you make us proud for saying the right thing at the right time. thank you and THANK YOU pak police. Every time I see your members at the barricades in islamabad and other cities on my frquent visits i want to say thank you. You make it possible for the rest of us to have a semblance of s0me normality to our daily lives in Pakistan and you enable us to carry out the little work we can do to uplift the lot of the man in the street. recently when i was in pakistan to attend the org annual meeting of the Human Dev Foundation in islamabad and the the site visits to our program areas in karachi , shamsabad in sind , the out skirts of islamabad and in mardan it was the police which made it possible. thank you my friends . tariq Khan
How can we expect 2010 to be different when we tread on the very same path that lead us to the fiasco in 2009?
I hope 2010 will turn out to be better but have a fear that it will be same
