Who should one commend here. The donkey for his running skills, the driver for his panache, or the photographer for excellent shot. We have raked our head for a caption that would do justice to the shot. Can you suggest one?

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

Owais,
It is a beautiful post. Congratulations. I have never seen a post as short as this one, composed of a single photo. Because of its short and comprehensive message it has provoked many thoghtful and happy remarks.
Every reader is surprised with the flying donkey and some persons are even worried about the baby-donkey. This small and youg donkey is happily pulling two grown up jockies sitting in the chariot.
In this whole affair, it is not the donkey nor the jocky who are the important factors, but it is the absent engineer who has constructed this light vehicle. Due to its two bicycle wheels with inflated tyres it becomes very easy to pull once it is started. Different types of resistence have been minimised. My three cheers to the conceptor!!
