My Pakistan

Pictures of my Pakistan, Randomly taken on different nooks and corners and streets and main roads in Lahore, the provincial capital of Punjab. Don't feel bad please i don't mean to show the bad side of Pakistan because they show poverty and bad cleanliness situation but this is the most important reality we should and have to face, Ignorance is no longer a Bliss.

A beggar child.....no shoes, and the roads are so hot, considering the average temperature in Lahore which is 39.65 degrees in summer.

Littered corner of a street which leads to one of the areas best schools and housing societies.

No consideration to remove the construction material which is left over after the work has been completed....this is at the road which leads to Allama Iqbal International Airport.

Child Labor....what lies ahead in the future of this kid.....working in this heat everyday, with no education in sight...this is the road which leads to Allama Iqbal International Airport.


....this is at the road which leads to Allama Iqbal International Airport.


this was taken on 12th March, 2010
.This old man is a cobbler and he sits here everyday in winter and summer...this is in the middle of road a area secluded for electric poles and telephone boards...i wonder how content is he and how thankful should we be....
another picture of the same old man is below, 
it was taken on 4th April, 2010
The old man is repairing the zip on a school bag and the man siting beside him is his customer...a repair such as this costs about 20 to 25 Rupees ( 24 cents to 34 cents)
