‘Thulley Raj’ is what some at my alma matter (UET, Lahore) would call this. But it is really so much more; and less.
I look at the body language, the facial expressions, the way they hold their laathis, that look in their eyes… and it is so much more than just good photographic composition… it is multiple layers of meanings and memory… some good, some not as much.
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
Loved the tone and clarity.
Thanks for simplifying a difficult subject.
