Ok guys! Do you want to make your predictions for tomorrow’s result in Pakistan versus Australia Test match?

For soccer lovers, the cricket match is currently poised at a situation like this: Chasing what would be a record breaking total of 440, Pakistan needs 326 more runs to win with 9 wickets in hand. Two long English summer days are left to be played and possibly 188 overs to be bowled.

So now the question is: ‘ye ooNt kis karwat bethe ga?’ (what will be the result?)

And now Habib Jalib Baloch

Yet another sad news emanating from Balochistan is the assasination of Balochistan National Party -Mengal Group’s leader Habib Jalib. Why? and by Who? are just two of the many questions that come to mind. The blame game has already started with fingers getting pointed in every which direction. In the meantime angry mobs set fire to Government property all across the province. Who will benefit from all the destruction being carried out to public property?

May the deceased rest in peace!

We started our journey on N55 Indus Highway from its zero point at Jamshoro (N55-Part I) and covered 384 kilometers to reach the city of Shikarpur (N55-Part I). In Part II we continued our journey on the right bank of Indus and drove 333 kilometers more to reach Dera Ghazi Khan (N55-Part II). Today we’ll pick up our journey just north west of Dera Ghazi Khan and try to reach Dera Ismail Khan before the end of this post.

Our title photo to the right is the famous Chogallah lookout of Dera Ismail Khan which we will visit towards the end of this post. This building was built in 1940 by the British as a lookout for law enforcement people. It is also the meeting point of 4 bazaars viz. Commisionary bazaar, Muslim bazaar, Bakhri bazaar and Kalan bazaar. Well more on D.I.Khan later. First we have to drive 214 km to reach it. Lets get out of Dera Ghazi Khan first. aao mere saath!
