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

Adil: Please give ref. from evidence based medicine in the West. Pakistani docs. reaaly don’t know what clinical researh is and all they talk about is their persoanl experinece without any statistical support…Let me tell you my persoanl experience, you go to lakshami chowk, eat a real khabba, and make two rounds of model town park…and you are fine…regards…
Here is a rather appropriate ‘end of Bakra Eid’ news story from the Daily Times (Jan 4, 2006):
Nowhere it is mentioned that we are forbidden to enjoy botti tikka after the sacrifice is made….wine is forbidden in our religion, so is pork…but people don’t even like that we should enjoy halal botti tikka after we make sacrifice…I ‘m missing Laksami chowk, food street and the main market Lahore….
It is apt, but I feel you are mocking us for turning the spirit of sacrifice into botti tikkas!
Haha, so apt!!
