Amazing Pakistan (Submitted by Shujaat "Shahjee" Hussain)
Amazing Pakistan: A picture hidden from the World
In the recent times due to rendezvous between political
forces and media, an ugliest picture about my country has
been portrayed in front of the world, a picture that holds
no color or I am not wrong to say “It’s all black just
black”. I’m struggling to unveil the true picture that hold
millions of colors, so bright and so shiny that can dazzle
one’s eyes. If you are son of a soil, and you love your
country as much as I do then you will help me fight against
those who are painting your land as a black corner of this
world.
“Spread the truth as much as you can, fight for the right”
————————————————————————————————————————————————
Pakistan meaning the “The land of pure” where each day
the sun rises with a new hope, with an enduring majesty as
the rays of light flushing down towards the snowcapped peaks
of Himalaya’s and Nanga Parbat. A land where love finds a
meaning in the heart warming hospitability of people, a land
where history and ancient civilization mystifies one’s
heart, a land where spiritualism unveils its mystery at the
shrines of Sufi Saints. This is the land I belong to, this
is the land I’ll die for and this is the land that defines
my identity.
