Beautiful place - I hope to drive to Pakistan from Delhi one day. I have been hoping that for a very long time and waiting patiently for the time when that will be possible. Both my parents were born in Pakistan, my mom in Gujrawala and my dad in Rawalpindi. This explains why I feel nostalgic when I see pictures of Pakistan. I have flown to Europe from Delhi many times, every time you do that you have to fly over Lahore and other Pakistani cities. I always keep gazing at the landscape below the whole time when we in in Pakistani airspace. I love Pakistan the same way I love India.

More such beautiful side and sights of Pakistan is needed to be projected. Good job Hajra Tariq and Dawn. The 95 percent good stories are never projected and all the negative 5 percent are donning most of the Media, the local media as well. Such a waste...Local media need to be more sensible and pragmatic, with freedom comes the responsibility.

I would love to visit Pakistan someday, learn more and enjoy its culture, hospitality, the historical places and old universities. There are always some good folks everywhere and all is not bad.

Reminds me the song of Veer Zaara - Dharti sunehri ambar neela har mausam rangila, Aisa des hai mera ho aisa des hai mera...

Dear Sandeep ! I wish you visit and see the beauty of Aurakzai Agency in the tribal belt. Its virgin beauty which needs to be explored and enjoyed, Only the fanatics have hard feelings against everyone including progressive minded Pakistanis. One day Indian and Pakistani will have a the best neighbourly relations where folks from each side will visit both countries freely.

Sorry guys. But the only thing these beautiful places must be saved from is human presence.

@Sandeep Thank you Sandeep!!! God bless you. I have similar feeling as a Pakistani towards India. I feel India and Pakistan are both mine. It is in our blood. We cannot change our feelings.

Many countries are blessed with natural beauty, and Pakistan definitely has its share. Pakistan can have a thriving tourism industry that generates billions of dollars for the country and projects a positive image of the nation if Pakistan takes care of its law and order problem and spends money on educating its people.

Pakistan is a beautiful country and there is so much tourism to promote in Sindh an industry which can alone uplift our dying economy.

@Sandeep such a beautiful comment. My parents were born in India and moved to Karachi where I was born. We should have EU sort of structure where people can travel back and forth and live and work in both countries without any restrictions. It would do a world of good for all of us.
