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

Owais, I think you are absolutely right however, I think the silver plating or Qalai is mostly done or used to be done on steel utensils, and the round pot at the bottom right of the picture seems like molded aluminum.
I might be wrong, maybe whoever took the picture might know more.
I was stuck at this photo because I’ve never seen tree branches being used for drying pots and pans before :)
Some of these pots and pans look brand new.
Could this way of drying be part of plating (qalai) process? I don’ know.
the title seemed like another discussion for the latest attacks.
humorous picture in a way.
Reminded me of Subodh Gupta’s art installation
