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

I knew it! As a person who, as a child, benefitted from the generosity of Mamoons, I have to say
this: Pakistani children are blessed with
some of the best Mamoons anywhere in the world!
@benawa. yes
Harpasand, get your mind out of gutter. This 2nd grader
obviously has a lively imagination. She assumes that her beloved teacher has soft cheeks.
Owais, are you this young lady’s Mamoon?
What’s not funny is that the teacher overlooked (or maybe didn’t know better?) the mistakes in line three and gave her a star right next to those two mistakes. I thought that that would be the point that the author of this blog would highlight.
“sikhaaeeen jaateen hain” is supposed to be “sikhaai jaati hain”.

Yeah we need to take life easy but this was supposed to be a teacher grading her student, she should have corrected those mistakes but the flattery worked, that lesson would be more helpful for the future life of the student rather than learning correct Urdu :)
