Every morning I see tens of workers cleaning the streets of Islamabad but the sad part is when these people have a holiday on Sunday our streets are littered in one day. It says a lot about the general attitude of people. We think it is others duty to clean and we have a right to throw litter where ever we want to. Anti-littering drive has started in Islamabad for celebrating the golden jubilee of our capital city.  CDA chairman, Imtiaz ... Read More

Margalla Hills are a permanent part of our lives, the residents of Islamabad. They just stand in the background and add to the federal capital’s charm. For nature lovers, like me, they are 'a thing of beauty’ which is ‘a joy forever’. Yesterday while driving my kids back from school I  saw clouds of smoke emerging from the hills. It is sad to see these beautiful hills on fire every year. A little match stick can do the trick or maybe ... Read More

Although the technical details of ... Read More

Sunday afternoon when it was raining in Islamabad we went on an adventure trip to explore "expressway". This is a relatively new alternate road to Murree, also called "Jhikagali" or "Malka-e-kohsar". Driving becomes relatively difficult on a rainy day and that too if we are heading for steep slopes! Our journey started with amazement because the road looked wide and brilliant. But as we reached closer to Murree it became a zigzag road with dangerous turns. The surroundings were scenic and ... Read More

Property in Dubai was being sold at hyped prices for past some years. People with huge sums of money always thought it a safe bet to invest in Dubai and get a residence visa too. Current recession has hit this market too. Rich Pakistanis  fancied living in Dubai because it is an Islamic country with all the facilities of the west. I lived in Abu Dhabi all my childhood and still think its the best place to live. I am hearing ... Read More
