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

Its good to know Hunza is appreciated by Pakistani’s. Ironically most people I have met in England/America seem to know more about Hunzai than Pakistani’s.
And in reference to the comment about mullahs in Hunza below, I would just like to say, Hunza is a highly secular community, people here are Ismalie, we have the highest literacy late in all of Pakistan- something again Pakistani’s do not know. The Mullah region that you hear of in the news is usually the Baltistan or the NWFP area, which Hunza is not part of. In fact Hunzai’s are not considered to be citizens of Pakistan in the constitution of Pakistan, we cannot vote, nor do we pay taxes but ironically ( like most things in Pakistan), I like many Hunzai’s hold Pakistani passports. Something I am sure most people in Pakistan are unaware of.
Fall in Pakistan…

But places in Pakistan should need to be care of
Islamabad also looks stunning during the fall season. It’s a pity that Islooites have never paid attention to this phenomenon.
