Pakistani nation has a great potential, we just needs to utilize it and should polish it well. And should give them opportunities to come up and contribute to the development of our home land.
Few weeks ago bunch of seniors in my uni had made a mini sized drone which could fly upto a great height, man! that drone was looking so 6exy. We indeed have great minds in our country we just needs to appreciate them and should bring them up and should provide them all the things that they requires and should give them an environment suitable for creating their new inventions.
