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.

When I arrived in Kalam, which is 6800 meter above the sea level, it was about to rain,. Having that kind of altitude, raining can create a very chilly weather even in June. But for Pakistani people rainy season is considered as good season.
Kalam is situated in NWFP region, in the Swat Valley. A very beautiful place.
Pakistan is one of the friendliest countries I have ever experienced, although, due to the role of women, the encounters I had were only among other men. As there are so few foreigners there, people are extremely curious about we outlanders.
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.
Oil-fired emissions of doubtful technique complete the scene adding a touch of urgency!

Nanga Parbat (literally, Naked Mountain from Hindi: नंगा परबत, Urdu: ننگا پربت [nəŋɡaː pərbət̪]) is the ninth highest mountain on Earth, the second highest mountain in Pakistan and among the eight-thousanders with a summit elevation of 8,126 meters (26,660 ft). Nanga Parbat translates to "Naked Mountain" in English; parbat deriving from the Sanskrit word parvata (पर्वत) meaning "mountain, rock", and nanga from the Sanskrit nagna (नग्न) meaning "naked".[2] Known as the "Killer Mountain", Nanga Parbat was one of the deadliest of the eight-thousanders for climbers in the first half of the twentieth century; since that time it has been less so, though still an extremely serious climb. It is also an immense, dramatic peak that rises far above its surrounding terrain.
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.
