World traveler Rob Maciag toured Pakistan and took this photo on Nov 25, 2006 in a small hotel in Mingora, Swat valley. I have fallen in love with this photo. Besides the obvious artistry of still photography, I find this photo very funny, innocent and so very Pakistani.
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
What a wonderful photograph. Excellent.
Helpful as well, do not forget what the effect of dipping any part of your body in the ice cold waters of mingora would do lol.. nice pic
This picture says so much and so innocently about Pakistan and Pakistaniat.
