Dubai impressions
Having spent the last week in Dubai a destination I visited after seven long years a sojourn by any standards let alone Pakistani I must say I am overwhelmed. That is the best way to describe this city in my humble opinion, its got too much of everything, too much wealth, too much power, too…
Eid arrives…or is about to arrive
They say that people think about the past a lot more when there is little hope left for the future. I have come across quite a few people this ramazan reminiscing about how Eid used to be when they were young and there were no security problems and stuff. Still go out at any night…
