Raja Islam is an excellent photographer from Pakistan. We’ve featured him on these pages several times before. The title of this photo post also comes from him. A very symbolic shot.
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

It’s an excellent shot as far as photgraphy and aesthetics is concerned but it’s also one of the most sadest one. It can be realted to the current situation of this land, we need an ICU type of treatment to cure them both, get them out of this terrible misery………A CHANGE IS ON THE WAY!
Awesome picture and of course as always what makes it even more brilliant is the caption along with the photograph. Wonderful… :)
The Photo showing a man lying close to Pakistan Post Office Box. He seems to be homeless. Corruption is on high rise , rich are getting richer day by day and most of Pakistanies are constrained to live a life below poverty. The days of corrupt and indisciplined officials /rulers are counted , a revolution is not very far away.
No disrepect to either the phoographer or the writer of this blog post, but this picture failed to move me in any way- good or bad, positive or negative.
