Lockdown in Brampton Canada has compelled Indian origin ladies to share some moments together flashing their best dresses staying away from each other.
A book market in Iraq where books remain in the street at night because the owners says 'the reader do not steal and the thieves are not interested in reading'.
Shaista Zaid the English newscaster of PTV on her last day in July 2012 after reading the news for 43 years. A graceful lady with lovely voice & impeccable accent made it look so easy. She truly was an institution.
Dilbar a constable of Punjab Police succumbs to injuries he sustained in the recent TLP roadblocks,leaving behind a widow & 3 kids. An unsung hero who lost his life in the line of duty.Not a single TV channel mentioned his death. Those who injured him might have been freed by now
The departure of Dr Javed from the Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar where he laid down his life fighting corona virus. The entire hospital staff lined up for him to bid him one last farewell. He is truly a martyr.

The best news which has gone unnoticed is that the govt has decided to disband the
Ruet-i-Hilal committees at all levels & entrust the task of moon sighting to the Metrological Dept. Thank God it will get rid of the Chairman for life Mufti Muneeb too who was a big nuisance.
Good old days when an elected PM while going on a foreign tour traveled by a normal PIA flight & it was no big deal. ZAB showing his boarding card before entering the plane(1974).
After senior officers the mid level officers of SP rank have also applied for leave. As per Geo news there is no police deployment on busy intersections & roads. It seems even the junior officers have also left their duties. An extraordinary show of solidarity by the

The son of Shaheed HC Pasham Khan having one last look at the face of his father during his funeral at
#Bannu
. His expression will rip your heart. Another family loses their bread earner to the never ending terrorism.
Last nite when I looked at my face I looked exactly like my late father.I suddenly realized that I never hugged & kissed him like the kids of today.Fathers in our days were loving too but they seldom showed their feelings openly.I had a sudden urge to hug & kiss him.. just a wish
Seeing unshaven faces at work places. Wearing of shoes without socks. Young men roaming around in shorts at public places, wearing printed shalwar qameez, & having their ears pierced, something has definitely gone terribly wrong.
The billionaire Azim Premji of India does it again - donates Rs 50,000 Crore to charity which brings the total value of his philanthropic donation to a massive Rs 1,45, 000 crores - or 21 billion dollars - among the largest in the world.
Just now I saw something very rare in my city
#Peshawar
. At least 4 cars stopped & let a woman along with 2 kids cross the road. I am happy there is an improvement both in civic & traffic sense.🤓
Two pics with a span of 63 years in between. Me & my cousin - Diljan Khan. In the first one (1960) he is 26 years old, about to join the Police Academy at Sardah,East Pakistan, whereas I am a 4 years old kid. In the second one (2023) we both are retired from the Police Service.
MNA Mohsin Dawar while speaking in the Parliament mentioned talks with the TTP & said:
“Keep my words recorded whether I am here or not,” he said, adding: “The state will not be able to tolerate the [outcome of the] experiment which is being done now.”
I agree with him.
A doctor at HMC Peshawar performing COVID-19 test beaten up. A traffic constable belonging to Hazara community manhandled at Quetta. Just wondering what is their fault? Is serving your people a crime? We are an ungrateful nation.
In 1996 as AIG/Traffic NWFP I received a call from Gen Babar the then Interior Minister. He was on line & very humbly requested for the posting of an ASI from Psr to Nowshera on humanitarian grounds. He addressed me as Sir & apologized if he is interfering in my work. Great man!

آج سے میرا تعلق افطار پارٹی کے سوا اور کسی جماعت سے نہیں ہے۔ میں سمجھتا ہوں کہ آج کل کے حالات میں یہی پارٹی ملک اور قوم کی بہترین خدمت کر سکتی ہے۔ 🥸😎
Naranjan Singh & his family have made sure for the last 40 years that Muslims at Jamrud distt Khyber are able to purchase essentials for low prices at their shop every time the holy month comes around. People throng his shop to get cheap & unadulterated food items. A noble job.
This pic reminds me of my childhood. Our kitchen at our village was more or less like this where we wud eat our meals cooked by my grandmother in winters straight from the oven, whose taste I still cherish. A huge matka fixed near the hearth wud cater for warm water in winters.
Going to Hayatabad via Gora qabristan & Jamrud Road after ages. The BRT project looks like a sad spectacle & a fatherless child. I doubt it can be completed even in the next months. The botheration & pain it has caused to the citizens of Peshawar is unimaginable

This photograph of a lonely & brutalized police officer rips your heart.What his kids & loved ones must be going through.He was just doing his duty & following orders of his superiors.Left to fend for himself & at the mercy of those goons.A total mockery of the writ of the state.

A strange video clip has been captured in the forest of a lion moment close to its death.Feeling something strange around him, as if he is looking at the angel of death,he tries to escape from it and realises there is no escape.
But it’s the reality of life that we must accept.
Govt of Punjab stops its mills from supplying flour to KP. Is this country a fiefdom or a federation? How can a province stop the supply of a basic necessity? It will be fair if KP stops the supply of electricity & gas to Punjab. The federal govt must take an immediate notice.
