Minar-e-Pakistan is a tall minaret in Iqbal Park Lahore, built in commemoration of the Pakistan Resolution. The minaret reflects a blend of Mughal and modern architecture, and is constructed on the site where on March 23, 1940, seven years before the formation of Pakistan, the Muslim League passed the Pakistan Resolution (Qarardad-e-Pakistan), demanding the creation of Pakistan.[1] This was the first official declaration to establish a separate homeland for the Muslims living in the South Asia.[2] Pakistan now celebrates this day as a national holiday each year.
The monument attracts visitors from all over Pakistan, as well as the inhabitants of the Walled City of Lahore. The large public space around the monument is commonly used for political and public meetings, whereas Iqbal Park area is popular among kite-flyers.

At sunset on the India/Pakistan border every evening they hold a ceremony where soldiers in ceremonial uniforms on each side face up to each other and march with very high kicks to great support from the locals. It's an incredible thing to see!
Jaudat is my colleague that works together with us in the same department. I invited him for a photo session in the office and he was very excited about it. I took several photos of him and this one seems to be my favourite.

It's approaching nine o'clock as branch line service 04.55 Khushab-Malakwal Jn reaches destination headed by classic 4-4-0 loco SP/S 3172.

Funny thing about meeting Abid was that I only met him after about 1 year staying in Pakistan. I met him through internet and he had given me some guides about Pakistan before I came to Pakistan.
Only after a year I managed to arrange to meet him. At his home in Peshawar, I met all the male family members ( obviously they live together) - brothers, father, uncle, cousins and nephews. I received the great Pathan hospitality and spent a night with most of them in "hujra" - a guest house in a Pathan community.
