Its amazing how I live just an hour’s drive away from Attock Khurd and haven’t ever known that they had this pretty little station there. I am definitely going to visit it on some weekend.
The railway station is still there and still a very good place. Railway bridge is still there. I haven’t seen this place in 80’s so can’t compare how it was back then. But i am sure it must have been more deserted than now. Now there is quite a lot of traffic on both sides of it. But still, as compared to other parts of city, it is relatively quiet and peaceful.
I really miss the quiet places, grassy grounds, trees. Now everywhere there are plazas, houses, cars, traffic, noise. I wish we could have a little better planned cities. Instead of blindly building plazas and housings at every vacant place, there could be more playgrounds, parks and empty spaces.
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
