This recent photograph from The News shows Abdul Sattar Edhi, probably the greatest living Pakistani, perched on a wheel-chair, collecting donations on a Karachi roadside to buy 1000 new ambulances. The picture, however, is not just a commentary on the humanity of Mr. Edhi but on the givingness of ordinary Pakistanis. A generosity of spirit that no one under-appreciates as much as Pakistanis themselves.

    How lucky we Pakistanis are that we have him!! May Allah bless him with a long healthy life (Ameen). He should have nominated for Noble Prize. He deserves more than Mr. Obama who have to accomplish ‘something’ for the world yet.

    The generosity of Pakistani people who have the least is incomparable. They will offer you their most, their best, their all.

    If you are lost, they will walk the mile with you to the nearest road.

    If you are hungry, they will offer all the food they have.

    If you are tired, they will offer you their best charpai, their best beddings.

    They will offer you their best clothes.

    If you need money, well, they will offer you all they can afford.

    If you are buying, they will measure full and then give more.

    And they will make you feel safe and secure.

    But most of all, they will offer you smiles that are miles.

    These are the hard working, honest and decent Pakistanis, who truly define Pakistaniat.
