Many of you may have already seen this photo. It appears in today’s Dawn and shows a man over machine over animal, riding down a Lahore road. Can you suggest an interesting title for the picture?

I noted the following intriguing points that may help in formulating the best title.

According to the first news coming out, the opposition’s No Confidence vote against Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz has failed. According to The News internet site:

Islamabad: The no confidence motion tabled by the opposition against Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Tuesday has not been passed. The National Assembly voted the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz moved by PPPP’s Aitzaz Ahsan. According to Speaker, National Assembly Chaudhry Ameer Hussain, the opposition motion polled 136 votes, less than the 172 needed from the 342-seat National Assembly to oust the prime minister. Aziz rebutted the opposition charges, saying that his government had improved the country’s economy and strengthened the democratic process.

The vote had been expected to fail. It is, however, surprising that 136 members did vote against the government, given earlier statements from the Information Minister that they would not.

How can somebody steal a whole damn train? Well, they can, and did!

Supposedly the ‘thief’ was a crazy person from a town near Karachi, who stole the train, drove it down the track for 20 miles and almost caused a serious accident as he was only yards away from colliding with a crowded passenger train. For a while this was being considered a terrorist attack, but it turned out not to be so.
