United We Stand … Divided We Fall!

I absolutely thought that the word Pakistan was first coined in a pamphlet famously known as Pakistan Declaration written and published by Chaudhary Rahmat Ali, in which the word Pakstan without the alphabet ‘I’ and was used for the first time and was presented in the Round Table conferences in 1933.

Affluence is, quite simply, a question of texture!

What an age we live in! There are so many new and amazing online shopping services, delivery and taxi services now and it truly feels like Pakistan is slowly transforming into a first class country. Whether you want food delivered or book a holiday? You name it and there is an app for that.     Your neighbor forgot her medicine at her aunt’s place in Nazimabad?

Crowning Glory

Pakistan has had its share of tragedy in recent years, with the world's eyes always being trained on Pakistan since the last few years, may it be the rage of the neighboring Afghan war, or the Drone attacks and the Taliban, Pakistan has been a window on the biggest news stories of the young millennium which is just a decade old.
