The khabarnama of Pakistan were so peaceful, there was no back ground annoying sounds or musics in news those days. But now if we watch todays news it seems like as if we are watching a scene of war. It seems as if we are sitting in war zone instead of sitting in our couch. Todays khabarnama really gives me headache, unnecessary noises and musics that they embed on the news is really awful
And look at their tone and language, totally peaceful and polite. And look at the female news anchor, she has dupata on her head, shows/dramas/films/ads all use to depict and represents our culture. But now todays Pakistan is totally void of such sharafat, and instead of promoting and showing our culture, our current soldout media is showing indian culture and all those pathetic things which are not even part of our culture................MAN i want my old Pakistan back

Back in those days (partition times) all govt offices in Karachi were made of tents and there used to be shortage of office supplies so they used to use stuff like sharp pieces of wood to make do as staple pins. and then in the next 20 years Karachi progressed faster than Dubai did in the 90s. and now look where we are back again

Great pictures man.

Looking at some of the townscapes, one can't hep but think the Asian population boom has been a massive factor in the downward spiral of some of our cities..

really you think its bcoz of india.... if we blame india then u people say why do u pull us in every matter.... and here u are being proud of ur achievment..... on a serious note its not because of india..... its because we have not been able to produce leaders if any after ayub, zab could have been but he chose the wrong path.
