Surviving …!
A scene that causes ripples of sadness & Thanks to ALmighty almost daily. Seeing dozens of laborers fighting the chill, clad in a chaddar and without any socks, daily on roads and sideways of Islamabad (Peshawar More being the largest hub). Living on the hope to get some work and be able to feed the families back home.
Will Pakistan ever be able to become a welfare state?? In near future?? I know things are not perfet in “rich and developed” countries but things are not this bad either. Buying power’s decreasing; of commodities increasing. Where will it end – doomsday :/

To Shed the Load or Not?
Clouds seems to be thinking this. After a heavy wonderful Hail Storm and three days of shiny Sun, get ready for a showery week ahead.
If you are a rain-admirer; its your time to shine (disclaimer: my own words and no inspirations whatsoever from LG Shine Ad ~ It SuX)
If you like a golden globe shining brightly … summers are ahead ;-) A 10-day forecast of Islamabad’s weather is attached in this post after the jump…!

Snow or Hail; Whatever Thou Art :)
Talha and Backpacker has shared quite some amount of hailstones aka SNOW FALL in Islamabad with you. And as if I can resist posting anything =D
If I remember corretly after 28-29 Jan 2003’s early winters this happened in Islamabad for teh second time. I missed last time’s heavy hailstorm but glad I was out in time to witness the marvellous white beauty, Subhan Allah :) Who wants to go to Murree now =)
Hoping to see the slush by the roads tomorrow too … if you were not in Islamabad; you definitely missed it big time. If you were then woohoo I hope you enjoyed well.
You may have seen snow man but for the first time I saw a SNOW-DOGGy =)) And its cute :>
