Saw this picture in Daily Times and actually laughed out loud. How much more Pakistani could a bakra be, than riding on a rickshaw with its head sticking out.
Not sure what the title of the picture should be. Maybe you can help.

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
Safar-e-Akhirat
waqt aaney de bata deingay tujhe ae aasmaaN
hum abhi se kia batayein kia hamare dil mein hai
khench kar layi hai sabko qatl honay ki umeed
aashiqon ka aaj jamghat koocha-e-qatil mein hai
sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamarey dil mein hai
dekhna hai zor kitna baazoo-e-qatil mein hai
:D
Lolz … so eid celebrations are going on top here :)
Faiz stands true for this Bakra at least :)
With apologies to Faiz sahab aur unn kay chaanay waalay:
jis dhaj say koee maqtal meiN gaya,
woh shaan slamat rehti hai,
yeh jaan tou aani jaani hai,
iss jaan ki koee baat nahiN.
