As always, the downtrodden females of Pakistan are amongst the most anguished of victims, having been subjected to travails of the worst kind in this third world country. Nevertheless, the brave women of Pakistan have borne countless tests with towering forebearance, putting many to shame. “Today, the girls of Pakistan resolve to rebuild the country and help it gain its ideal place amongst the comity of nations,” writes Sehar Khan from now innundated Dera Ismail Khan.

The recent floods arose from heavy rainfall in Central Asia and the northwestern Himalaya, causing torrential downpours along downstream waterways. High up in the northern mountains of Pakistan, a complex network of rivulets and streams coalesce into major rivers such as the Jhelum and Indus. These rivers, along with western systems such as the Kabul river recently swelled with heavy precipitation, overflowing their banks not just at irrigated areas but also near such unlikely habitations as Nowshera and other cities west of the Indus. Women tend to suffer the most in such calamaties, as they are poorly equipped to defend themselves against the onslaught of nature.

Ladies from major cities such as Lahore and Karachi are pitching in with material and financial help to alleviate the suffering of their unfortunate compatriots. Lets hope the people of Pakistan can manage to overcome what is only the latest in a string of misfortunes to befall this wretched nation.

Pakistani girls utilize social networks to get in touch with friends and relatives(both near and distant). But gossiping and showing off their latest stuff to not only friends but distant acquaintences is an especially popular activity among the girls of the subcontinent. Indeed, this is the region where the kitty party was invented, and in the age of the Internet similar social functions are increasingly served by social networks.  In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that Facebook has become the kitty party of the twenty first century for Pakistani and Indian girls.

With great festive fervour, though in less numbers as compared to cities like London or Tokyo, Pakistani girls and boys, young and old throng to the streets to bring in the New Year. (Where exactly in the country, it is yet to be known). HOwever, what is known is that many people host new years parties at their private homes that are frequented by the glamorous and young and heart.

Shalwar kameez and fancy suits, bangles and henna are some of the items preferred by the Pakistani christian community. Christmas trees are elaborately decorated and Pakistani girls of all religions and denominations join together to celebrate the festive season of the winter.
