Some of our readers may have already seen this photo in today’s Dawn. I found the photo subject too creative to not share here. This is a banana-shop in Sitara Market of Islamabad. An Urdu verse also comes to my mind:
‘hain kawakab kuch, nazar aate hain kuch’
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
This is also a banana shop in Islamabad, but the banana sell on these type of shops which are in Islamabad are more expensive as we compare their prices to big shop of any other city.
Hey, I’ve got it : it is
nazar attay hien kuch ” = trees
Kawakib = Banana Republic i.e.
Bananas can be grown on any tree in a Banana Republic.
