Pictures from cities | Islamabad

[desiman]

I have been to Islamabad before and i must say i was really impressed. A wonderful city and truly wonderful people. Most people wont even take money from me after they knew that I was Indian. There was this guy at the hotel I stayed at (Which was the Marriott by the way lol ), when we were leaving he just came and helped carry our stuff down just like that. When I offered him money he told me "No saab pesa nehi chahiye, aap toh hamare mehman hai ". I was so blown away from that, and that is what makes me wonder why we indulge in stupid talks here when the normal Indian and Pakistani is such a wonderful person. Food for thought guys.

I still remember the city had few traffic signals and used to sleep at eight O clock plus a lot more greener . After seeing these pictures I am home sick now

The Faisal Mosque in Islamabad is the largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fourth largest mosque in the world. It was the largest mosque in the world from 1986 to 1993 when overtaken in size by the completion of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, Morocco. Subsequent expansions of the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Mecca and the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet's Mosque) in Medina, Saudi Arabia during the 1990s relegated Faisal Mosque to fourth place in terms of size.
