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.

The prints of Mausummery Lawn 2010 were impressive but prices were high. They followed the general trend in Pakistan by charging a much higher price than last year..... Rs 1330 for a three piece suit. You all must have known that this is the only lawn I love to write about.

The nation has heard plenty of debate over racial profiling. But there's a form of religious profiling that some young Muslim women in America say they endure whenever they voluntarily wear the hijab. The hijab, also known as the veil, is the headscarf worn by Muslim women around the globe. It's a simple piece of cloth, but it can place young Muslim women in Western countries in difficult situations. She doesn't want your frosty public stares; the whispers behind her back; ... Read More

There are  iftar and dinner offers of various hotels and resturants all over Islamabad . These normally range from minimum Rs 400 to Rs 900 per head. Which means one person will eat one meal worth this much. We have so many poor people in our country and we all have had atleast a few chances to witness these iftar buffets. We know how much food is wasted and thrown away. People fill their plates and leave them and refill ... Read More

The Iraqi journalist jailed after hurling his shoes at former President George W. Bush, will be released next month after his sentence was reduced for good behaviour. Muntadhar al-Zeidi’s act during Bush’s last visit to Iraq as President turned the 30-year-old reporter into a folk hero across the Arab world, amid growing anger at the 2003 invasion.
