1) Habib Jalib being arrested in Lahore on 12th February 1983 during a Women Action Forum protest against Gen Ziaul Haq’s Hudood Ordinance. (more: dawn.com)

2) Final resting place of the late poet. The inscriptions read:

The one with the ripped collar who just passed this street,

He is the wandering mad everyone calls Jalib.

 &

Now the apathetic people of society can stay in peace,

For those who used to awaken people from slumber are asleep.

During Pakistan’s first cabinet meeting in 1947, ADC Gul Hassan asked Mohammed Ali Jinnah: “Sir, should we serve tea during the meeting, or coffee?” Jinnah raised his head in surprise: “Did these people not drink tea/coffee from home? Which ever Minister wishes to have tea/coffee, he may do so before coming here, or perhaps after he returns home. The people’s money is for the people, not for the luxuries of Ministers”.

A laborer, with his hands covered in sawdust, grinds away a portion of a wooden cargo ship during its overhaul in Karachi’s Fish Harbour July 15, 2012. The process of overhauling a boat takes about a week, in which the boat is brought to dry land and its wooden panels and paint serviced by a team of 20 carpenters and laborers, before it is set back to sea.

..So, I stopped a policeman on the street to ask if he knew a place that was open where I could buy bread and milk. I can still hear his reply, “Quieres decir un Pakistani?” (Do you mean to say a Pakistani one?) more
