Even though much of the U.S. and world media seems to have already decided who will win the 2008 U.S. Presidential election, the fact remains that the elections are determined by votes, not by polls.

That means that maybe we should do an ATP poll of our own :-)

This photograph, was taken yesterday (Nov. 2) by Khalid Tanveer of the Associated Press. Take from a different angle, it continues to boggle the mind. It is a train coming back from Multan after a religious congregation. Was this just a photo-op or were they actually traveling like this.
Did anyone call the Gunniess Book of World Records to count the number of people stuck to the train?

Few days back I spotted this picture in DAWN, taken in a family park of Lahore.
I had to look closer to get an idea of merriness in the Merry Go Ride. Clinging at a good 180 degree the risk is just too evident.
Considering the usual state of maintenance at such parks, I personally won’t opt for riding one. Would you?
