Pakistan: Does a veiled woman make you uncomfortable? (Tribune)
How does veil make people feel in a Muslim country. Personally I am no one to tell a woman what she should wear but yes there are few things which I have a strong opinion about - and some people might not like them. (via umalik)
A discussion you wouldn’t think be happening in Pakistan, but hey here is something to surprise you with.

A Pakistan I used to hear from my parents, but which I never got to see. Nadeem F. Paracha wrote a rare article on Pakistan we don’t find through Google!
“Over the years many Dawn readers from within and outside Pakistan have been emailing me complaining that whenever they tried to look for pictures of Pakistan on the internet that have little or nothing to do with vicious looking mullahs, suicide bombings and mutilated bodies, they have failed.”
This is a must! Read the article here and discover more photos and full story behind each photo. (via yumnaolivia)
