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

this is a form or sort of Ricksaw; these type of vehicles are used in rular areas of Sheikhupura, Faisalabad, these vehicles have peter engines (peter engines are used for pumping water for agriculture purposes) and gear box of charade 1000 cc car and its maximum speed is more than 100 km/h. it’s ride is quite adventures and dangerous; as in case of accident one will have hand full of broken bones.
Is ruckshay mein Zaroorat aur Ijaad kay ilawa dhoondnay per Maa bhi mil jaey gi…
The thing about this photo that amazes me is how the driver is sitting. You can see some portion of his neck and clothes in the photo. His legs must be reaching the rickshaw’s floor through the tire center.
Some comments just posted on this picture at the ATP Facebook Page:
– “Yeh Rickshaw parr bara ZULM hai!”
– “yeh rikshaw hai
aur yeh bara ho k truck ban na chahta hai”
– “yeh ek abstract rickshaw haiii ……………. :P”
– “QingQi. Ching Chi Rikshaw”
Wow what a great find. Is this tyres on a rickshaw, or a rickshaw on tyres!
