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

Some comments on this at ATP’s Facebook page:
– “kia kia Insaan se krati he ye Muflasi…”
– “its not happening only in our country,the rest of world have same system bit modified that’s it,if every body join office or hav there own business, who doing this stuff,its part of a life CIRCLE,the thing we hav to do is appreciate our labor brothers,”
– “Well, I think we must respect them working for us. If they will not then we ll have to do this ourself…………Thanks Allah that we are not at there place …..”
– “this is inhuman and completely unhygienic..if they hv to do all this stuff they must also screen their employees medically for any possible kind of infection..
medically, this is a nightmare..!!”
– “I have the request to Govt that , they must provide them some Secure uniform/dress”
– “equipment should be furnished to perform these kind of jobs…..this is the most inhuman and abominable kind of treatment to which any humn being could be subjected to”
There is nothing wrong with either the picture or the subject. Please learn to take things in context. Look at the end, not the means, here at least. There is a man who is going to get a job. There will be a sewer that will get unclogged. What is wrong with that? This isn’t Japan or the USA that we can afford to worry about polyester uniforms and boots – we simply don’t have them. But we will have employment, and hopefully working sewers :-)
That’s a difficult one! We should realize how hard those people work for their jobs.
I am not against posting this picture but asking people to comment with a satirical caption is somthing which i cannot appreciate.
Its a sad picture not something to bring smiles on our faces. Thanks and I hope you dont take me wrong.
This is going to become another ATP classic picture.
Ideally, I would like not to be in a position to take this test.
If I had to, I just might get stuck in the mainhole.
Another reason to loose a few pounds!
