I'm not Sindhi but really liked all the pictures. I think we should have a culture day for Punjabi's, Balochi's, Pathan's and everyone else too... and best part of it all should be that Pakistan as a whole should take part in such events and not just that one particular province. Pakistan Zindabad! =D So beautiful and diverse this country is.
