Heard your talk on Climate change at the Aga Khan University Karachi. Truly amazing and eye-opening. I must say that you are a gifted speaker and a bit different from my memories of the PTV programs. Coming back to the flood and its associated challenges, I think Pakistani people should know more about the agricultural land grab by our middle eastern brethren, the direct and indirect theft of the resources of Pakistan.
If our government had half a brain they would look at flood relief as a way to build up their own image in the country. Instead, whatever respect one might have had for ZAB’s PPP has been drowned in the floods by Zardari’s PPP.
The needs now for those who have returned home are also great and the costs of rebuilding plus the emotional stress of dealing with things can be very high. This can sometimes be the real ‘meltdown moment’
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

Oh so sad …allah taalla sab ko apne hafz o amaan me rakhe aur pakistani ko hifazat me rakhe apni

This post is ATP at its best. Talking about and making us think about what others will not talk about.
