From the month of March:
Minar-e-Pakistan
Minar-e-Pakistan (Pakistan Day Memorial) is a minar which was built to commemorate the day when the Pakistan resolution was passed on March 23, 1940. The main tower of this memorial was completed on March 22, 1968.
The location was originally known as Minto Park. It was here that the historic session of the All-India Muslim League was held on March 23, 1940.
This resolution called for the creation of an independent state for Muslims in British-India. As Wikipedia says;
The resolution stated that,
No constitutional plan would be workable or acceptable to the Muslims unless geographical contiguous units are demarcated into regions which should be so constituted with such territorial readjustments as may be necessary.[14]
Additionally, it stated:
That adequate, effective and mandatory safeguards shall be specifically provided in the constitution for minorities in the units and in the regions for the protection of their religious, cultural, economic, political, administrative and other rights of the minorities,

Seven years after the strong struggle of leaders was the independence act signed and the Islamic republic of Pakistan appeared on the world map. Not to forget the massacres and bloodshed which resulted as a reaction from those who disliked the idea and STRONGLY OPPOSED it.
.
65 years have passed to the creation of Pakistan.
Pakistan is still not an independent country. The world calls it a terrorist state. The world judges the 16 crore plus people by the 16 thousand or so enemies of the state. The world sees that Pakistan has failed. That it has collapsed!! (and not that it is striving to stand up again!)
The world can NOT see the beauty, the originality, and the hearts of Pakistanis because that is not SHOWN to them!!! What the media shows is the bombards, the helter-skelter, the terrorism. And its true. It’s actually true that Pakistan is going through the worst possible condition. Nobody feels safe. Life isn’t safe. People are dying, starving, and afraid.
BUT the Pakistanis, the rest of the 16 crore people, the sad and happy people, the safe and unsafe people, WANT A CHANGE! They want the world to see their positivity, they want them to see what Pakistan really is. They want better governments, they are all striving to help others. They appreciate a good change and they wish and hope to get good leaders like the leaders in their past!
They have all the potential and the greatest potential they have is hope!
I believe in the idea of ‘being human‘ that is, we are all humans before we belong to any other group or caste!
Update June 15, 2014: I need to edit this thing.
Hello people!!!
Everybody is damn excited for the Pak-India worldcup and an excited aroma has filled up the air..From kids to adults, girls to men, and every every one is excited!
So much of the media coverage plus the text messages and yes, the facebook stuff, has made this event as “THE EVENT!”
All Pakistanis and Indians (and all the other cricket fans out there) are waiting badly for tomorrow..for the great match in Mohali..
Although rumors say that the match is fixed..everybody is hoping for the best,..
It seems like a huge war because people are taking it more than a sport and more than anything.It has become more like a matter of self-respect n ego..And I appeal all those reading this to control their emotions!:P
In the end, I hope, and I pray that my team wins!
