I’ll let our readership contemplate on the mechanics of this photo. Who is controlling whom and how?
Photo is courtesy of Mr. Hanif Khattak who is a photo journalist associated with the News International. Photo was taken on August 8, 2007 in Islamabad.
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 dunno…I see differently…
First thoughts that came to my mind upons seeing the pic, regardless of what happens I will go on… Never Give up
Then it struck me that there is fuel pump sign on the left side…is it pic from the future when oil runs out???
self respect…honour ..dgnity..Izzat-e-Nafs…ego is above everything..atleast ..this old man ..not hears the voices..go paki ..go to your land….
It could be rising oil price that this old man has to lift cars on the cart hehe.
Anwar, I agree. It is a sad (and touching) composition. An old man shouldn’t be going through hardship like this. To highlight this plight was one of the purposes of putting this photo on our page.
To be honest, I felt a bit sad to see this otherwise beautiful composition.
This fellow perhaps not even looks forward to a break from hardships.
