Its the season of sun shining brightly one moment and heavy rains pouring the other. Monsoon (barsaat), the season of rim jhim, is bright here. And when you get to see pictures like this, it’s a bit confusing whether to laugh your heart off or feel sorry. Have you ever spotted not one, not two, BUT four policemen under one umbrella. WOW! Any label/title that comes to your mind upon seeing this rarity?

When Younis Khan hit a 4 off Piyush Chawla to take his score to 37 in today’s match against India, he completed his 5000 runs in ODIs. He went on to score 123 not out in today’s innings. He thus became Pakistan’s 9th and World’s 45th batsman to reach this milestone. Following is the updated list of top Pakistani career run scorers in ODIs.

It is not often that one dares to place a headline as bold as the one above. We have used such superlatives a few times before, but very few: for the dialogues from Maula Jatt, for the blockbuster movie Aina, twice for the PTV show Fifty-Fifty, once for the show and once for its skits (both times with question marks), and once for the miracle cricket match in Sharjah and Miandad’s fabulous sixer to clinch the game on the last ball. Today, we use it again.
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
