This picture was taken in Karachi earlier today (7 August, 2006) by atrophying and posted on Flickr.com.
Even if its was done inadvertently, I find it a very timely and appropriate billboard. Especially at this precarious time in India-Pakistan relations – note the silliness of recalled diplomats – when extremists on both sides seem to be succeeding in scuttling what had been a reasonably good process of rebuilding confidence.
Anyhow, my dear subcontinentals, please hold your sun-baked passions and enjoy the picture. Whether it was intended as such or not, I will take this as a neighborly greeting from one neighbor to another.
On behalf of all us Pakistanis, I thank you dear Amitabh. And I wish you, and all Indians everywhere, a wonderful Independence Day of your own on August 15.
Artists, Authors, Athletes and above all AWAM (people) are Beyond Boundaries !!!!!
Happy Independence Day for the region !!!!
Thank you. Wish you a happy Pakistani Independence day too.
Would the joke be lost in translation…?
I don’t know why people don’t see this, when India and Pakistan Fights, It is the people who suffer, it is the humanity that suffers, the villagers on the borders of India Pakistan are the poor people who take the bullets.
We should work together as the people of India and Pakistan towards Peace, war is not a solution, never had been, and it never will be.
lol! funnyy
