While watching the white-haired Rahim Dad turn a lump of clay into a beautiful piece of pottery in front of my eyes with such ease and speed, I couldn’t help but wonder if God had created man also on a Potter’s wheel.
But the question is, what material was used for the potter’s wheel by her?
Time comes to a standstill looking at Rahim Dad, his white hair , his hard working hands and his surroundings. The picture is a story in itself.
About MQ’s comment on govt. possibly turning the place into an other commercial food street, what’s up with this food street culture in the country? A nation obsessed with chiken tikka. This is an other way to look at the priorities in the country.
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

Go figure!

@ Qalanderi mein, jo rehtah hay Khatra unko,
Kehein Adam say bach ne ja’aiy, bechari Hawa
(Allah SWT is the only CREATOR )
Potter’s wheel ho, ya deal unki, siyyasat ki,
Tootay ga wohi, putla jo hoga, uski mitti ka
