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 detail that the bridge was barely three months old and had just been inaugurated by Musharraf is what sticks—Rs. 3.5 billion and an opening ceremony, and now the structure is too huge to lift to reach the trapped. That gap between the ribbon-cutting and the collapse says more than any inquiry likely will. Off-topic aside, I sometimes step away from grim news to mess with quick visual tools like the effects at everygenai.live just to reset my head.
