Once again on KKH

Our smooth journey to Gilgit from Pindi ended up with a sudden break in gorges of the mountainous track leading to Pattan after around an hour travel from Bisham. This is a harsh part of the journey in the Kohistan district of KP. There is no coverage of any mobile network and the time i am writing this is 3 am in the early morning of February 2014. We are in a car, in which along with me are 3 guys of Pk army and a driver. All are in deep slumber specially the driver who took this blockade as blessing and immediately went to sleep. It seems it ll take quite a time for any tangible outcome of this situation. So hoping for the best i am too going to take a nap. Have a good time.

Although secretariat is closed today being Saturday, still large number of public was seen buying tickets and Metro-Bus Card.  To avoid queuing up the line to buy ticket, a better option is to get a Metro-Bus Card. The card can be reloaded and costs 130 Rs for the first time and subsequently rec...

People waited for hours at checkpoints in order to reach their offices as chinese president landed in Islamabad for two day visit. The Pakistani Capital is sealed and planes are constantly in the skies to ensure that the "big brother" is secure in the Pakistan capital. Employees of Pakistan Secretariat waiting at a checkpoint in the vicinity of Parliament of House. The are here for the past one hour and police deployed at the check post says it will take two more hours before they will let the workers go to office. 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. The aerial surveillance impressed the guest too, though he wondered what purpose these roaming helicopter are going to serve beside pleasure of nice view to those on board.
