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

The aroma of this terpene commingling – best terpene for pain relief is really good and natural, not too heady but hush noticeable in the overcome way. It blends smoothly and adds a much better flavor study without compelling everything else. Equanimous a small amount makes a argument, which says a a mountain with reference to the quality. The packaging was solid, shipping was rakish, and the unimpaired happening felt reliable. Really congested spin-off and everyone I’d cheerfully order again.
Kyunke 18th Ammendment passed. Big Achievement of PPP. So to distract people. Shaadi. Aur baad baad mein Akram Sheikh/Supremecourt .. Haq Haq HAQ!
Shoaib Sania Marriage – why such a wild and bizarre show?
I wonder at the bizarre show of euphoria on the marriage of Shoaib with Sania. Both the Government and the citizens of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan seem to have gone berserk on the event forgetting all moral degradation shown by this ‘kanjar -show’ (show by professional entertainers); the Government, by giving VIP treatment to the couple; Shoaib, by lying about his first marriage and Sonia, while being a ‘gher-mehram’, in supporting him in that lie, and thus all disgracing the very institution of marriage and making it just a ‘kanjar show’.
It recalls to me the famous couplet from Sahir Ludhianwi’s poem ‘Taaj Mahal’:
“Ik shaahenshah ne doulat ka sahaara lekar
Ham gharibon ki mohabat ka urhaaya he mizaaq”
It may be slightly modified to describe the Shoaib-Sania show with apology to Sahir:
“Ik ‘kanjar’ (professional entertainer) ne doulat ka sahaara le kar
Ham gharibon ki shaadi ka urhaaya he mizaaq”
(A professional entertainer making a show of his wealth has made fun of the marriages of the poor)
All kudos to Indian Muslims who took notice of the disgraceful behaviour of Shoaib and Sonia in making a mockery of the sacred institution of marriage and humiliating the first wife of Shoaib, Aishah, and her family.
GUD.
very nice im happy this option. very nice…..
