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

What a treasure to revisit – hearing Faiz recite in his own voice at that last mushaira is the kind of footage you want to hold onto forever. There is something humbling about watching the master deliver verses that still feel urgent decades later. I actually paused this recording to keep a still of him mid-verse, using a Video Frame Extractor to pull a clean frame from the clip for my own little keepsake. Thank you for preserving and sharing these moments for the centenary.
Super insightful and fresh perspective.
