What is most probable, however, is that its much ado about nothing. In Pakistan, its always business as usual. Our readers have chimed in with their views on the issue. Shireen Abbasi says from Lahore “Nawaz Sharif isn’t exactly the most desirable of leaders, and the poor, lethargic and apathetic population of Pakistan can’t be asked to put their lives and properties on the line for just another selfish politician.”

Ayesha Chaudhary, a BBA student from Islamabad writes “This pathetic circus of a Long March is really about political opportunism and nothing more. Nawaz Sharif doesn’t really give a damn about the judiciary or instituational integrity”.

Meanwhile Female lawyers led by Samina Nauman protested the government’s decisions against the Long March. Police restrained Samina in Karachi, an event that has certainly ruffled a lot of feathers.

Pakistan has one of the worst literacy rates in the world, and that holds doubly true for its women. While Pakistani girls in the posh areas of the large cities like Lahore and Karachi live affluent lives, their poorer counterparts in the rural areas are forced to scrounge for the basic necessities of life. In such testing times, education is perceived as a luxury. The vicious circle of poverty and illiteracy has truly shackled many poor females of this otherwise vibrant nation.

The Taliban militia have imposed a barbaric rule in Swat Valley, banning mens’ haircuts and womens education in some areas. “These guys have misinterpreted Islam to suit their whims” says Sabiha Ahmed from Lahore. “Islam encourages womens’ education. While they claim to follow Islam, they are in fact the farthest from it”.

Mashal Khan from Peshawar said “At a difficult time like this, the terrorists wanted to show that Pakistan is hopeless. We must not allow this perception to hold”. Many young people believe that in order for Pakistan to succeed as a nation, all Pakistanis must come together to take a united stand against extremists. “Nobody should provide support to any fringe elements, as this kind of violence is what they stand for” said Nabeela Hasan from Islamabad.

Media reports say the two are in a serious relationship with George Clooney having indicated his desire to settle down. However, Fatima may be slightly perturbed by the age difference between herself and the 46 year old Hollywood star.

George Clooney has recently dumped his less-educated girlfriend, the cocktail waitress Sara Larson.

Also conspicuous is her ochre hued earring, nicely complementing her beautiful tied hair.

Her name is Saleema, and she seems to be wearing a lab coat and is looking very attractive indeed! We’ll be putting up more pics of her shortly.

It has seen civilizations as ancient as Mohenjodaro (Mound of the Dead), and cities as modern as today’s cosmopolitan Karachi.

Is it the food they eat? Is it in their blood? What makes a Pakistani girl what she is?

Pakistani girls – to be exact, are of many different regions and ethnicities. The females found across the Indus Valley regions, from the mouth of the Indus at the old port city of Karachi, known for its seafaring traditions and cosmopolitan people.

Northwards to Hyderabad, we find the girls hailing from the ancient Kshatriya heartlands of Sindh, not unlike Rajasthani girls next door, but more fitting as inheritors of the grand legacy of the Indus. HEre, under the shade of the mighty neem trees of Sindh, amid the vast sugar cane fields we find the beautiful Sindhi girls.

Further north we encounter the Seraiki Belt of Southern Punjab as it meets northern Sindh. The Seraiki ladies are known for their dark sultry skin, crisp features, sweet voices and mischeivous language, sure to warm the cockles of the hardest hearts. In fact, one reader swears that people from all over the country just love to talk to Seraiki ladies over the phone – any other girl just wouldn’t cut it!

Then comes the vigorous heartland of the Punjab. The ancient Punjabi city of Lahore, the city of Lively Hearts, is to Asia what Paris is to Europe. This magnificient city is matched by the intense diversity and awe-inspiring beauty of its ladies.

The gray of their uniforms is complementing the pastel background nicely, creating an overpowering, leafy aura that conveys a sultry, earthen sensuality. Don’t you feel like asking these beauties out?
