Photos show the worthy visitor being escorted by horsemen. Height of sycophancy and whoever has this novel idea of welcoming is perhaps least concerned about the peril being faced by Chitralis.

Preparation for CSS has become a booming business in Pakistan. In every nook and corner of major cities and town, these are omnipresent with large billboards and colorful posters of successful candidates from previous exams. It is a dillema for an aspirant whether to join an academy or not.  As with every decision we make, there are pros and cons to this one as well. A smart and quick learner aspirant has very little to learn from any academy and should not go for it beyond one month or only go for the free classes which are offered at the start of a batch.

The much awaited Metro Bus Service is now functional in Islamabad connecting it to the twin city of Rawalpindi. The PKR 45 billion cost (USD 4440 million) of the project was criticized mainly by the opposition parties led by Tehreek Insaaf. However the record time for completion of the project is something which justifies the the financial outlay. In Pakistan Public Sector infrastructure projects are plagued by delays and some are altogether abandoned after partial work. The 23 KM long metro has 24 station. Today I had a glimpse of Pakistan Secretariat Station of it. There is quite excitement among the travelers and many are travelling just to have fun. Few pics here.

However, the condition and standard of living for these are deteriorating. Agriculure 20.9% of GDP: Agriculture occupies as the main activity in the country contributing to more than one fifth of the GDP. This, is like we are still living in the agrarian era Agriculture 43.5 of Employment: Mostly this low paid sector where people are semi-employed and return is very low for the farmers and labors. All the gains are for the landlords. Per Capita Income = 1512 Dollar

As reciprocal goodwill gesture, Cheeni Saddar announces public holiday in Beijing whenever Pakistani president visits China. Says he enjoyed driving empty roads in the Pakistani capital.
