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

Great post. Does anybody know anything about the picture of the girl, who she is and what happened to her? I am curious.
Allah (SWT) ka din aik REHMAT hay ,
Ussay Khuda’ra ZEHMAT mat Banai’iey
Shab-e-Qadr aur Eid Mubarak to all in Pakistan.
When I first saw this picture it seriously gave me the spine-chills. Its almost as haunting is that famous National Geographic cover of an Afghani girl: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/100best/storyA_story.html
Incidentally, I read in Dawn today that Musharraf is rather pleased with the reconstruction efforts in the quake-hit regions, and it seems the government will be doing more to help: http://www.dawn.com/2007/10/09/top10.htm
Its refreshing to see the government and civil society so aware and active with regards to this isue. Also I think the responsibility being felt by Pakistanis within and outside Pakistan is commendable and even inspiring. There is some goodness still left!

I have just (5.30 pm) replied to Ayesha’s post, who refered to Allah’s wrath. pls. have a look at it.
I will try to clarify that, AlMighty IS Always Merciful, we have no idea, if He starts opening up our accounts, what have we done to each other, and to the nature with which we cohabit, well, the entire population will sieze to exist, He is ,
thank God, not judging us every morning, as we are perfectly consience of our acts.
Nobody can ever force Allah (SWT) to wage war against
each others, we are destroying our own planet which was bestowed to us, go and enjoy !
Assalamo Alaikum!
I am interesting in submitting one of my post at ATP. Can you guide me how to do it?
