After showing a face of Pakistan, we are back with another face of Pakistan. Photo Credits belong to Abdul Ali . The subject is employed at a road construction project in Quetta.
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

One thing that comes to my mind is absence of ‘equal opportunties’. This boy could have an opportunity to follow his dreams. Confidence on his face and in his posture makes you think.
God bless him and millions like him in Pakistan and everywhere.

y have we created an elusive world where the majority can’t enter, only dream….
fascinating picture
beautiful photograph….
unimaginably harsh working conditions…He is lucky to have acquired a pair of shades from somewhere….
Owais, With this remarkable shot I think this series can be something to look for in the future. This is yet an other example of how this blog has evolved; one great idea at a time. Even though sometimes I miss the days when there was much less traffic.
About the picture and the kid, just two words in Urdu: kia kehney!!
I hear the words somewhere in the background: “merey khaab hein meri kul poonji..”
