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

I have lost all my huge business & money & have become penniless myself, thanks to my friend. Otherwise I would have spent any amount to have never let Mehdi Hassan Sahib go through any such ordeals as he is going through or be dependent on anybody else.
He is Godsend & I have no words to explain the status & admiration that my heart feels for him. I feel ashamed that he was born in Pakistan, & this ungrateful nation is so indifferent to his condition. Was he born in some respectable country he would have been treated like somebody almost worth worshiping.
May God wake up this maybe the most illiterate Pakistani nation. They have always treated their heroes, men of honor & respect & who have sacrificed so much for them like dirt & always followed the wrong people & leaders, that is why God keeps shaking them by making the other nations treat them like dirt, though to no avail so far. But maybe God has more mercy on them & really wakes them up through some miracle.
I can only pray since no wise or sagacious words have any effect on these deaf & dumb Pakistanis.
Very nice picture. Two giants they are.
