Photographer Shigri captured this face in Rawalpindi on March 12, 2010. I chose the photo for these pages because there is a lot of character and untold stories in it. Note the eyes, the cigarette and the rings in fingers among many details of the photo.
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
Asim, your comment made me smile :)
This dude resembles Amitab Bachan from some movie in this pose…doesn’t he?
I think the picture works because of the background which is colourful and moving while the addict is not and that give its contrast.
The picture is interesting but probably not very meaningful. Looks like a guy who is high.

here is a next good blog piece daniyal-mueenuddin. A news clip appeared on dawn. The short story “Our lady of Paris” is nice. He appearently has made a name for himself. What is more fasinating is that he is educated from Yale etc and is running farm in Pakistan and comes from diverse background.
Lets unearth Mr. Daniyal Mueenuddin.
